visible area is what the board outputs, a flyer does not tell you that. |

Ok, but at least on flyer screens we see graphics below lower text. Since many games was corrected with resolution, colours etc just by examining flyer a decided to post this. Why mister viking border is a barely visible, star jacker very clearly shows this. |

well in this case it could suggest the area is too low, although flyers often have mock-up shots, actual output from a board would be far more reliable verification. as there are other games on similar / the same hardware with different resolutions it does give more weight to a change being needed. it's more of a problem if people start suggesting the reverse, that we should reduce visible areas based on flyers because a flyer will often show the 'optimal' display setting, rather than the real resolution. flyers in general are poor references tho. |

I don't see this line of reasoning going further. Games with simialr hardware can have different orientations and resolutions. There is no base resolution in some cases. Closing |
