we have a new LCD tv at home, so the old LCD in the dining room was idle, so i checked to see if it would fit in the tv alcove in my room, much to our surprise, it fit perfectly! it didn't interfere with the drawers on the right or the shelves on the left, like it was meant to be. behind the LCD, i put the Creative 2.1 speakers for a fuller sound. as expected, i tried out all the standard video sources: DVD, cable tv and, of course, the PC-VGA input. what did i plug into the 26" tv you might ask, why i plugged in my Triple E PC, and it works beautifully!
the triple E comes standard with an 800 x 480 resolution screen, fortunately, it comes with a desktop mode setting for external hardware connections. i tried it at different resolutions and found that 1024 x 768 fits just right on the screen without cropping. the higher resolution of 1280 x 800 cuts off the bottom of the screen, particularly the taskbars. the aspect ratio is just right for movies and tv episodes, the only drawback is that the resolution on the 7" screen of the sub-notebook is also affected and windows tend to extend beyond the edges of the screen. i watched the pilot episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles and viewed a few photos, it looks great, and i also disabled the screen on the Triple E so that I'm not tempted to look at it and can focus on the big picture.
this shows that the hardware of such a tiny computer is perfectly capable of performing as a media viewer both on the small 7" stock screen, or externally on a projector, a computer LCD or a much larger TV with VGA input. chalk up one more plus for the Triple E.
