Odd Resolution on old Plasma TV
-
I'm currently looking for old used TVs to use with my raspberry pi 3 retropie setup and found an old panasonic plasma i could get for cheap.
the problem is, it states that it is "HDReady" but the screen has a resolution of 1024x720 (instead of the usual 1280x720). i wonder if this might cause issues with retropie and how good/bad the games might look on such a display with thad odd resolution. I thought i ask around if someone else had luck with such displays or has some knowledge on how it would perform.Another thing that's quite irritating was what the manual had to say about the HDMI port on the TV. It says that connecting a PC to the HDMI port wouldn't work but i couldn't find out why it might not? Does someone know what exactly that means and if that is a problem for the raspberry?
TV Model is the Panasonic TH-37 PV 7 F btw.
If someone has some useful info on that, let me know.
thanks for your time and cheers

Ive hooked my pi to multiple different monitors with different resolutions via hdmi through passive dvi converters and the OS always seems to auto fit.
Nice thing about the Pi is it's small and portable, take it to the tv and test it before you buy it, i do that at the salvation army shop sometimes when picking out CRT's, haha.
