higher iBook screen resolutions

[joetronic]

Is there any way I can make the screen on my iBook G3 (Dual USB) run higher than 1024x768? I'm not sure if there is, but I would love to be able to if I could.


Thanks
Joe

I believe that is the max resolution for the 12" iBooks. Not sure about the 14" but I think it has the same resolution as well. I think that a higher resolution on a 12" would be too small anyway (at least for my eyes).

Nope, it's limited to 1024x768.

but does anyone make a 12" LCD that i could swap out to get a higher res?

Because i think the lack of resolution falls directly on the LCD panel itself.

But if you could, would you really want to fit something like 1600x1200 in those 12 inches

The 1024x768 is the intrinsic resolution of the screen, ie the *only* res it works at. The lower resolution are yukky interpolations.

You're only solution is to add an external screen w/ the spanning screen hack...

Toshiba has a 12-inch Tablet PC with a 1400-by-1050 Resolution. Pretty Cool.

The 15-inch PowerBook G4 should be bumped up to 1680-by-1050
and
The 17-inch PowerBook G4 should be bumped up to 1920-by-1200

i know others alluded to the answer, but it's physically impossible. the screen only has 1024 x 768 physical pixels.
