Don't buy a tv from Currys, ever (or buy anything from PC World). Their customer service sucks, and if you change your mind and want to return your purchased goods for whatever reason then you're out of luck...they will not accept returns or refunds or even an exchange for a different model, unless you purchased from them online (they have to abide by distance selling regulations in this case). Stay well away.

I have a Technika (Tesco own brand) LCD19B-M3 connected using the RGB > Scart cable form Amikit. The picture is great, even up to super hi-res-laced. Because the Amiga output is 4:3, there are black borders either side of the picture and I don;t have the remote so there MIGHT be an option to stretch the picture.


Why would you want to stretch the picture? Drives me crazy when I see other peoples tv's / games with everything squashed vertically because they want to fill the screen (most people oddly enough).
A stretched screen is totally wrong for 4:3 games for another reason too - moving the joystick or mouse along x-axis results in an unnatural increase in perceived speed...so that things feel wrong as well as look wrong.

I don't, but I thought it would be worth pointing out that the image doesn't fill the screen.


Thanks, might buy one myself. :)
