[AG-TECH] AG Projector options?

[Michael Gates]

On our new node we run 1280x1024 on our three projectors (had the same lack
of desktop space on the previous node).  While our projectors do it by
interpolation, the distortion is minimal and only noticeable on small text.
The extra space is definitely a bonus, however one must keep in mind that
while adding desktop space, the video windows are visibly smaller on the
screen, so small windows may not be usable like they used to be.

my $.02,
-Mike

Ah, thanks for making that point. For another data point, when we were out
there last year, the Juelich folks had 2 1280x1024 projectors for their
node. I was surprised at how much more pixel space that provided - it
worked out quite nicely at the time. 3 projectors at that resolution would
be great. Unfortunately, as I recall the prices on projectors of that
resolution are still quite a bit higher than on the 1024x768 projectors.
