Random Notes while testing my brand new old skool Checkmate Display (a 19" 1280x1024 IPS display with several 'old' inputs)

  • AppleTV 4K: Set to 720p SDR because 1280x1024 gave a stretched image. Apparently the AppleTV has several resolutions but always expects 16:9 display. Alternatively, leave scaling to the display by setting it to 1280x1024@60 and then you can set 16:9 on the monitor to squeeze the image back to a good aspect ratio.
  • Sony DVP-SR760H: Cheap, light and small DVD player with HDMI output. Scales nicely and audio is good

Issues

  • Audio not working: at first, I got no audio (speaker sound), until I partly plugged in a headphone into the front jack. Some kind of auto-detect that kicked in?
