800x600 is stretched on Xenarc 700TSV

I have it set to 800x600 on the Mac mini and the image is stretched a bit on my Xenarc 700TSV.

well it will be. Xenarc is 15:9 (800x480 native)

Apparently it looks better then 848x480 though as this squashes it the wrong way or summit.

Says here on the box it is 16:9 ratio.

I am having issues with CoPilot running @ 800 x480. What would be the next step up, so to keep the aspect?

848x480 sucks.....

It lies.

848x480 looked great on my Lilliput, but looks like **** on my Xenarc. I got a better screen and a worse resolution... ironic.

Is this a mac specific problem? or universal Apple/PC related problem?

when an aspect ratio is quoted it is supposed to be for the actual display area not the pixels themselves. If you took a 16:9 display area and populated it with slightly rectangular pixels you could get something like this. I haven't measured my Xenarc so I can't tell you is this is the case or the box does indeed lie...
