I am trying to find a 20/22inch LCD that will work with a GS and allow
me to use my PC happily and is currently a model that is still for

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.

That would be *all* Apple II's except the IIgs...  ;-)

It appears that modern digital TVs don't do a very faithful job of
emulating older analog TVs--as you might expect.
