have GS on small screen at points (current monitor has composite input
and PIP). Don't want much do i ;-)

I am using a SamSung SyncMaster 940MW that I picked up a year and a
half ago.  I don't know if they're still for sale, but the reason I
bought it was because it has every connector known to man+dog on it.
SCART, composite, SVideo, component, and VGA.  It's widescreen, and so
does the PC at 1440x900 or so.  It might be just 20" diagonally.  My 8-
bits (and the Mac IIci) put out a less wide picture, so that's
centered.  I am typing from my PC now with the IIgs running in the PIP
window.

It looks great in all modes.  Except maybe when hooked to older II+
computers that took such liberties with the NTSC signal... they look
pretty crufty.


Hi,

Interesting there seems to be some models of the 940MW that don't have
the other connectors just DVI and VGA. Do you run a GS of it? Shame
resolution isn't a bit higher, I have got used to 1680 by 1050 :-).


I've always suspected that having a KVM switch between a modern hi-res
computer and a IIgs converted to VGA would be a real let-down.  Doing
the "A-B" comparison quickly on the same screen really highlights the
difference in resolution!

My Apples are in the room next door, so when I get up, walk a bit, and
sit down at the Apple II, I've transitioned to another world--one in
which 280x192 is "hi-res".  ;-)
