There were also loads of HD Ready TVs sold with NO digital tuner, only an analogue tuner. I have a 1440 x 900 wide screen Beko which has HDMI in and only an analogue tuner. It doesn't downscale 1920 x 1080 at all. Just crops it! That's not too bad for cable/satellite/aerial setbox, but useless for 1920 x 1080 from a PC or console. However the Raspberry Pi 4B can do 1440 x 900 and all the setboxes can do rescalling of SD 576 and HD 1080 to 720 if you don't want cropped.

here's another unboxing/review video.
skip to around 5:30. This one has the virtue of having decent camera and showing closeup of the screen, as well as stylus writing. Last edited by Barty; 04-19-2024 at 06:16 PM. Reason: correct timestamp |

Are there any decent reviews of the Kobo Clara BW yet?
The Colour versions are taking up all the spotlight and I would like to see how the Carta 1300 stacks up. |

Thanks for the Clara Colour full review video! It's easier to know what the video is, if you only put the KqOEqlyVgNI between the YouTube tags. I wasn't aware either of that method. By the way, here's the Libra Colour from the same YouTuber, who has only used a Kindle. So, first time with a Kobo. Last edited by Gone; 04-21-2024 at 08:52 PM. Reason: Added a link |
