I tried the CSY-2100 and wasn't impressed with the results. It could
have been the LCD's i was trying it on though, but the colours were
very washed out and picture wasn't very clear iirc. In my quest for
finding a IIGS monitor replacement i now use a Samsung LCD with Scart
(when i am not using my IIGS monitor). I have tested lots of TVs with
scart and not all produce acceptable results. Some i have tested are
on my blog along with my current favorite (as i can also use it as a
decent PC monitor) is the Samsung T200HD.
