any and all comments welcome.


I don't particularly like small displays but it surely beats the old
monochrome IIc-LCD and the colors seem to be good, too.
If the scaling would be better (probably not possible because
of the low resolution) there wouldn't be much to criticize.

Yes, it's unfortunate that the "overscan protection" of the Apple II--
using only 40 cycles of the 65 cycle scan line for display, works
against us when a discrete pixel display (like an LCD) is used.

It would be nice if these displays had adjustments for "zooming"
in horizontal and vertical directions, so we could get a better
mapping of Apple pixels to the pixels of the display.  (But, given
the "last legs" status of the 480i format, such niceties are not
likely to happen.)
