I didn't ask him, I just did the thing. Like hell, I got tired of some of the buttons randomly not working.

Now every button works perfectly, plus I did a little modding to make it work at a broader angle...

I got my first High Definition PC monitor from back in 1994. It just didn't know it was High Definition compatible (over 1 million pixels per frame), until I overclocked it.

2048x1536 was totally doable back in 1994, though the CRT controller electronics were too dumb to realize it when it was manufactured.

Fuck 'smart' electronics.

    That’s pretty rad. Didn’t know CRT monitors back then were capable of that resolution. Good luck finding a 00s HD CRT monitor for a decent price anymore though.

    That particular monitor was originally designed for a max resolution of 1280x1024 (also, by definition, high definition believe it or not).

    Later on, after I refurbished it, I studied the specs of the Horizontal Output Transistor, which apparently maxed out at 64KHz.

    I did some magic math and with the help of a programmable GPU, I successfully tried a custom 2048x1536 mode..

    That's actually where my username comes from.
