Yeah I mean RTG modes; for playing around with emulators. For ScummVM I use 640x480 with double size screens.

The PAL screens work fine because they are handled differently; you do have to switch manually though but that's not a big problem for me.

EDIT: Don't put too much stress on me ;-)

Flashlab, where about are you in our country? If it's in Noord-Holland I might be able to come over and take photo's if you wish.

I'm in Friesland, I'll take a camera from work home tomorrow and make some pictures.

All right !  It seems there's nothing to choose between this Samsung and those LG, but as my Samsung vacuum cleaner was a real crap, I will probably buy a LG...

LMAO

Don't you dare compare Samsung vacuums to their monitor range!  :lol:

It's like comparing Nilfisk vacuums to Amiga Inc. delivering something  :lol:

I'm sure I am going to dream of red and white gingham boing balls trying to escape fat and Stock-Exchange-diagram-blue Samsung vacuum cleaners tonight.

Some pics here...

I don't have a picture for AGA screens because I don't have the right cable yet but I tested the SCART and that works fine and you have a lot of options for screen size (4:3/16:9, Wide etc...). That will work with AGA screens too. I added a TV still so you can see.

Nice pics :-D

But localized to Dutch? I never could get used to that.

Thank you for this vivid preview.

I have ordered it today... the same Samsung !  The LG monitors I was interested in were either more expensive or unavailable here in Belgium.

Not a bad idea though, but arranging it would be a bit of an hassle (accommodation etc.)

 That TV/monitor will be in my wishlist.
