In addition to that, however, I found another problem I find more offensive. Take a look at the attached image. Why the zipper-like pattern? I am using overscan on my Workbench screen to maximize the display, but since it shows up on games as well, I have no control over those.
This happens on NTSC signals only (what I will be using most of the time). PAL signals do not show this.
That's normal for NTSC video; alternate lines are longer/shorter. You see the same thing if you e.g. connect an Amiga 3000's VGA output to a monitor and reduce the image width. The zipper pattern isn't usually visible on 4:3 monitors since it's normally past the right edge of the screen. With a 16:9 screen however, unless the TV and/or converter blanks the extreme right edge of the image, you see the effect.
A couple of workarounds for Workbench use: run a border-blanking program to set the border to black. Or force interlace mode (run
Lacer 1). That way the zipper pattern should alternate on successive frames, which may or may not be less annoying.
