Reposting some of my old photos, you can see the differences:http://www.cimmeri.com/js/download/ RGB1-7.JPG = IIGS -> Keene Aptus -> Samsung 192MP = RGB -> RGB/YUV -> 15khz YPbPr in = A-A-(A-D upsampled to LCD)Problems seen on desktop are due to the 192's high bandwidth Component input, and its sampling rate creating aliasing effects.The Samsung 910MP with SCART does NOT have this problem as the SCART input is bandwidth limited.In case anyone is interested in seeing pictures of the Apple IIGS desktop on a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW wide screen LCD monitor/TV using just the IIGS to SCART cable (no converter box) I have included the link I posted some time ago:http://www.noboot.com/Charlie/a2gslcd.htmI have added another picture of the finder desktop with 4:3 ratio and periwinkle blue background for comparison with others posted in this thread.Now *that's* lovely! ;-)The periwinkle blue seems to have less vertical banding effect than the gray I normally use. You can barely see it in the picture. A little more so on the screen but still very faint.The white on black 80 column text in the picture is more saturated than on the screen due to my camera having trouble getting it right. On the screen there is some variation of the 'whiteness' in parts of some letters. Still easily readable though.
Auto exposure will always get a text display wrong... Manual exposure is needed to expose for the (very limited area) highlights. I'm betting that the horizontal strokes of the characters are brighter than the vertical strokes, since full-white verticals (or diagonals) require unusually high luminance bandwidth. -michael NadaNet and AppleCrate II: parallel computing for Apple II computers!
