There were also loads of HD Ready TVs sold with NO digital tuner, only an analogue tuner. I have a 1440 x 900 wide screen Beko which has HDMI in and only an analogue tuner. It doesn't downscale 1920 x 1080 at all. Just crops it! That's not too bad for cable/satellite/aerial setbox, but useless for 1920 x 1080 from a PC or console. However the Raspberry Pi 4B can do 1440 x 900 and all the setboxes can do rescalling of SD 576 and HD 1080 to 720 if you don't want cropped.

This is not how you do YouTube videos. You put the bit after the v= in the YT code.

Also see post #27 in this thread. That video was already posted.

The problem is the video won't play unless you follow that advice, and there's no link to click on either.

here's another unboxing/review video.
skip to around 5:30. This one has the virtue of having decent camera and showing closeup of the screen, as well as stylus writing.

I want to apologize to you. Snapping at you was uncalled-for. I'm sorry for that.

Are there any decent reviews of the Kobo Clara BW yet?

The Colour versions are taking up all the spotlight and I would like to see how the Carta 1300 stacks up.

It's easier to know what the video is, if you only put the KqOEqlyVgNI between the YouTube tags. I wasn't aware either of that method.

By the way, here's the Libra Colour from the same YouTuber, who has only used a Kindle. So, first time with a Kobo.
