Raspberry PI Settings

I bought this for my Raspberry Pi computer, tempted by the advertised resolution of 640 x 480. Unfortunately a real device only has 1/4 of that or 320 x 240 pixels. The text is very fuzzy with the Raspberry Pi's default display settings, but it's still possible to use the command line (assuming you don't have to carefully distinguish between individual letters). To get a setting where one image pixel roughly equals one screen pixel, I edited the following settings in /boot/config.txt: framebuffer_width=320framebuffer_height=240overscan_top=-16overscan_bottom=-32overscan_left=0overscan_right=-16sdtv_mode=2 Things are as they are still fuzzy because the pixels don't match exactly, but at least the text is clearly visible and the image takes up about 100% of the screen area.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Security
