Not only are the colors and aspect ratio improved, also the beat (=Schwebung) from the interference of the two quartzes is gone, since there is only one quartz on the US mainboard.Is this the phenomenon where faint diagonal lines/waves wander back and forth across the screen?
Yes, that's what I mean. It's most visible at vertical edges. Different people seem to notice these lines to a different degree, personally I find this extremely annoying, especially when I'm moving my eyes (it's less noticable with a "fixed stare"). Carefully fine-tuning the PAL frequency with the adjustable capacitor helps, though.
b) In mixed graphics modes the text in the four line text window at the bottom of the screen doesn't appear tinted green and magenta like with US mainboards. This is really an improvement as the text looks much clearer.
True enough. I can live with that bit of nostalgia, though. -- Linards Ticmanis
