..and make it variable!  One day I may want to emulate a 1702, and the next I might want to emulate a 1084S!

Monitor emulators, the wave of the future. ..or past.

The future is already here.

WinUAE and VICE (commodore 8-bit emulator) already have PAL TV emulators, which add scanlines, blur, colour smearing, and noise artifacts.

Honestly, on my LED monitor, this sort of monitor emulation really makes it look like a television from the 1980s!  It's actually awesome....really gives things that retro feel and is the icing on the cake....one of the things that was really missing from retro computer emulation was the feel of the old monitors....the emulation was often too crisp and scan-doubled.

Oh, and I bought one of those Samsung BX LED monitors mentioned above.  Got it last week.  I'm using in with WinUAE.  It's a really good monitor, but like all LCD/LED monitors suffers somewhat from the limited field of view and aliasing of lower resolution screenmodes....but in 1920x1080 native resolution is sharp as a tack.

You are aware that your "LED display" is actually just another LCD backlit by LEDs instead of a fluorescent light source, I hope.  The LED backlighting won't help in the area of motion blur should the LCD panel in front of the backlight still be a poor performer.

LED backlighting is definitely the way to go, but it doesn't cure everything.
You are right. But I thought the LED grid of the LED display showed a b/w picture, and therefore the movement would look better in the case of light-to-dark edges. But I might be wrong :S
I was used to a terrible standard 15" el cheapo laptop display, and now I have a LED display and therefore my judgement might be clouded ;)
