Best LCD for IIGS

[Drew <GoggleDrew@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Been doing some research and testing of Apple IIGS connected to
various TVs with RGB scart and have had very varied results and still
haven't really found a currently available LCD monitor that seems to
sync fully  (used standard VintageWare RGB Scart cable and also one
that i modifed to sync on composite) or look very good. I am not sure
that LCD will look very good anyway even if i was able to get one that
did sync properly due to the way LCDs display low res content.In my
process of testing lots of TVs I did find try a friends 14inch Sony
CRT Trinitron (KV-14LT1U) which was really good quality very close to
RGB monitor  (though was better in other aspects due to newer tube i.e
brighter etc), and have infact picked one up off ebay for £10 :-) as
it was so good. Though this isn't very practical for me at the moment
due to space on my computer desk. Though the monitor is quite a newish
monitor, think in the last 5 years.

I am trying to find a 20/22inch LCD that will work with a GS and allow
me to use my PC happily and is currently a model that is still for
sale. Ideally the LCD should support PIP etc as find it quite handy to
have GS on small screen at points (current monitor has composite input
and PIP). Don't want much do i ;-)

I was wondering what people had tried? I know a Samsung 910mp (though
not forsale anymore as far as i can tell) should work and I myself
have tried a Samsung 220HD monitor which wasn't too bad (but it costs
£300), but didnt support PIP and the picture quality wasn't as good as
the 14inch CRT, but this might be the fact it was an LCD and was
22inch screen.The main thing was the black text seemed to have a bit
of shadow. I did also try an LG 19inch in PCworld and that was awful
output, looked like a composite output.

I will post some links to pictures from the 220HD for comments if this
is what i can expect from an LCD.I have been thinking i might go for
the 20inch version which won't be trying to stretch the low res so
much and is about £230.

Cheers
