Thanks Charlie, at least I know its not just the one i got. I also
tried a Scart>Component converter box (CSY-2100) and though i got a
picture and and no blur; colours and picture were rubbish.
I think i will end up waiting and getting a Samsung T200HD (which
works fine apart from a bit of ghosting (as all all LCDS that i have
seen) and no PIP) when it comes down in price. Still want to try a
Samsung SM-225MW/MD though as that supports PIP which I would find
very handy....though so far it would seem that the majority of LCDs
don't work correctly with the RGB being outputed from the IIGS....

Thanks
