Re: Apple IIGS monitor replacement

Hi,
Now I get my system disk for my GS, I am faced with another problem:
the LCD TV is not suitable for anything 640 mode or 80 column - - they
looks like double hires! If you still remember double hires, basically
it is 560x192 monochrome or 140x192 with 16 colors... so basically
when you show a DHR mono image (says Instant Pascal) on a color
monitor, it is just color everywhere and looks very bad.
Since there's no easy way to put the IIgs into mono mode, how about
using the monitor's menus to turn down the color to get mono?
I know you'd prefer color *and* sharp text, but it won't happen
with composite video...
Surpringingly my PowerMac 7200/120 monitor (which is a 14" I think),
display Apple IIGS graphics on 640x480 mode using Bernie PERFECTLY.
Now I wonder why there are all talks to use GS on a VGA monitor, etc,
but not to a Mac monitor? This is the closest to a GS experience I
think. At least Mac monitor might be easier to locate than GS monitor.
I will be glad to use 7200/120 for my GS if it is indeed possible.
That's the emulator. The display won't work with a IIgs at all.
The scan rates are wrong.
Or is there a way to force the GS to display 640 mode in monochrome...?
No, but you can put you monitor into monochrome mode...
