Most of our Belinea and NEC monitors have options for turning off OSD.
Clock and phase are parameters to adjust the timing of the video input to the (static) LCD matrix. Since it's a digital display (essentially a large memory chip where you can actually see the stored data bits), the analogue input needs to be digitized/sampled and if the sampling rate (clock) doesn't match or the sampling takes place between pixels (phase) the display is blurry and may even show noise (flickering pixels).
Because the Amiga's output timing is in no way common to the industry, you may have to adjust those values manually:
- if possible set the video output to the TFT's native resolution or something with a simple ratio, e.g. 800x600 for a 17/19" 1280x1024, makes roughly 2:3 (OK); 640x480 is 1:2 (better); very bad is 800x600 on a 15" 1024x768
- display something with high contrast & lots of detail, full screen, a lot of small text will do
- change the 'clock' value to get rid of vertical stripes
- change the 'phase' value to get the sharpest possible display
- if you're not using the native resolution, there's no way to get a really sharp picture
Because this is prone to error (even when done automatically) it's much better to use a digital DVI input - the display is always perfect.
