[SBE] multiviewer monitors

[Jonathan Solomon]

Dave-

Looks like the Ross HDMI converter is pretty passive.  I looked at the
manual for the monitor and it doesn't clearly mention that it support
720x480. I agree it SHOULD, but it is not clear that it does.  It certainly
sounds like a "zoom" feature is enabled. We are using Samsung  UN46ES6500FXZA
here but in 1920x1080 (with Bright Eye 72s FWIW).

Just to rule out the converter, have you tried DVI mode to a desktop
display?
