Picture is stable and colours look ok, just doesn't seem to cope very well when things change i.e opening menu etc... any idea why this would be and is it something i can fix via the RGB cable? Thanks in advance... DrewDrew,I use a Samsung 940MW with Roger Johnstone's (Vintageware) RGB-SCART cable. There is a slight banding (vertical lines) where two differ colors meet. I have always believed that the motion blur you are seeing was the effect of this banding when you move something on the screen. Looking at it again after reading your post, I'm not so sure. The trail following the mouse is longer than one line (considerably). You can see it best on my machine when you open a window in the finder and run the mouse back and forth over the striped area of the title bar. I did notice that you can actually see the mouse arrow change from fuzzy to sharp when you stop. This indicates to me that there is some kind of delay in synchronizing that is way too long. Still for me this is the best option, I know of, since I keep both my PC and my IIgs connected to Samsung 940MW all the time and can even view both on a split screen.
Maybe you are seeing artifacts of digital processing in the monitor. Since NTSC-rate video must be significantly upsampled to fill a modern LCD monitor, it's likely that some filtering and edge enhancement is done, at least for slowly moving or static images. Sophisticated monitors (more all the time) even do frame-to-frame interpolations, deinterlacing, and 3:2 pulldown processing (when it thinks it applies--like when two successive fields are identical). Sometimes you can use menus to turn these off, and sometimes not... -michael ******** Note new website URL ******** NadaNet and AppleCrate II for Apple II parallel computing!
