Does The SA2000 work with the new "Stretch" LCDs from LG such as the M3800S-BN?

The answer is Yes!



These LCD specs can be downloaded from: http://www.lgcommercial.com/stretch/




Step 1: Design the template in WCM3.0 with the correct zone size (See picture below)

The LG M3800S-BN supports 1366x398 natively so select the 1366x768 template and create a zone that takes up the upper portion of the screen. This zone should have the following size: 1366x398.

Step 2: Connect the SA2000 HDMI output (you need to get an HDMI to DVI convertor) to the DVI input on the LG Stretch LCD.

Step 3: Boot up the SA2000 and exit the WebDT Player software. Proceed by launching the ATI Catalyst driver screen (Right click on the desktop screen and select Catalyst Control Center). Go to Displays Manager -> Display Options and make sure the desktop area is either set to 1360x768 or 1366x768 (For the main monitor).

Step 4: Toggle the OSD Menu on the LG Display and set the resolution to either 1366x768 or 1360x768. Set it to "Full" mode first so that you can see the whole screen and perform all necessary actions such as registering the player, copying the Start WebDT Signage Player Icon and creating a shotcut on the screen, etc.

Step 5: Now you can design the content to fill up the whole 1366x398 zone or create several smaller zones to fill up the entire screen.
