[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] 2048x1536x700000c w/ CEG chip

mikep@cs.umr.edu (Mike Prather) (03/05/91)

I saw an article in PC SOURCES about a new chip (expected to cost ~ $10)
which effectively gives resolutions of 2048x1536 by approx 700000 colors
on a standard VGA monitor.

Does anybody have any more complete information regarding this new chip?
For example, because this chip is a pin for pin replacement for D/A converters
already present on most VGA boards, is this a chip that can be used on ANY
VGA card?  Can you just pull out your old DAC chip and replace it w/ this new
one, or does a board have to be designed around this chip in order to take
advantage of this power?

If you want to read the article for yourself, see page 44 of the March Issue
of PC Sources.

(The chip appears to mainly be used for eliminating the jaggies through anti-
aliasing, among other techniques.)
