:pint: :lol:
Re the huge Sony I mentioned, we've only persevered with it because we got the monitor free (And the fault came with it free as well...).

Apart from that its one of the largest (Screen size, not sheer bulk) and highest quality monitors that we have :-D
Oh, im and my dad's worked in the TV trade for some years, so that kinda helps.

We've just scrapped off 5 older 13"/15" CRT monitors the other day, most in working condition, due to the sheer lack of space in the garage. Another 3 to go still...If anyone in the UK wants one for parts be my guest. Just Pmail me and pick them up (Some have dry joints, etc, others work fine).

Re the Samsung 2032MW, i've just noticed that, occasionally, maybe once an hour or so, the monitor seems to loose sync for a split second. I’m still using SCART RGB and Super-High res interlaced PAL, and the loss-of-sync was noticed with a completely static WB screen.

Just wondered if anyone else might have noticed this?

I've just uploaded a photo of my attempt at making a really decent pair of composite and RF leads. They might show up in a hour or so.

EDIT: Ah ha. Its online here.

It means the same here, too.

I had to check in a online dictionary to find the true meaning. And im British :crazy:

On that basis, thanks for the kind comment arkpandora!

I just fired up Term 4.7 today and whoa, the 2032MW really doesn't like it in the current screen mode (PAL Interlaced SCART). The sync is completely messed up - The screen is jumping around all over the place and seems to have a tendency to sit half-way across the screen, with the frame blank in the middle. As for composite it’s stable, but the frame blank is still in the middle of the screen and it’s accompanied by a rainbow pattern at the edges of the frame blank and flashing diagonal lines. The RF mode may as well as be white noise.

Might just be Term, but Term worked fine on the 15" PC CRT I used to use (Multiscan Productivity, 640 x ? screen size)

If someone else could try Term out (From Aminet) on a 2032MW I’d be interested to hear what it looks like.

Yup ;-) Actually I've barely used it so far.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but one of the biggest problems seems to be (From what I can see) is the in-built interpolation for movement of an image. If it were turned off, the display would be reasonable, but since it cannot be turned off by the user it results in any moving object on a uniform background taking on a ghostly, shimmering appearance...
