	If you have a display designed for use with a computer rather than as a regular TV, such as a plasma display, it is possible that the native resolution of the display is not one of the options presented by the [[AVWizard]]. In this case, with a small amount of tweaking it is possible to get the media director to drive the display at its native resolution, which will give you optimum picture quality.

ScaleX and ScaleY: Added new formulas

			Another way is to use this size for reference: 2128x1596. This is the "base" resolution of UI1. The idea is that you want to scale this down to your resolution: XxY. In this case, the formulas are:

			ScaleX = round(X/2128*1000)
			ScaleY = round(Y/1596*1000)

			UI2 seems to override these values in OrbiterGen.sh. A comment in OrbiterGen.cpp says: <i>UI2 is always 16:9 and needs to be edge-to-edge, so we will ignore the normal scaling rules and always scale the full image</i>
