Ube switch question?

Post by Darklord »

So I finally picked up one of those nice Dell 27" monitors that a lot of people have
been going on about. It is a nice monitor.

I've been using one of the Ube switch's, Mark IV I think, that has "Make Atari Great Again"
stamped on it.

It works great, picture is awesome. The only thing is, it always boots up in Hi-res. I can
switch it to Med-res by pressing the button but as soon as I turn the machine off, it defaults
back to Hi-res.

Is there a way to make it use Med-res all the time instead of defaulting to Hi-res? Thanks.

Doesn't sound like a official once I was buying from urban . can you post a image ?

IIRC you held down the button for a few seconds to store the value.

I had thought there was a way to do it, just couldn't remember.

Thanks everyone. :)

PS I've seen 3D cases for the ST2VGA version of this switch, is
there one for this version? I did a search "ube switch 3d case"
but didn't see anything...
