as we had the thread before about good LCD panels
which would work on our old
machines, I thought of a different approach :
Why not use the semi-standard good quality lcd panels with 1600x1200 (4:3)
format, and use some flicker/fixer scan doubler as converter ?
Is there actually one, which would really work ?
I mean, from the old 512x256 resolutions up to the 1024x768 would scale up
nicely, accepts BNC, SOG, and whatever we else use on our lovely boxes ?
Some thoughts on this. Off the top of my head, I have the following
requirments; 1280x1024, 640x480 (VGA, Amiga 3000, Atari TT030), and NTSC
(8-bit computers and various video game systems).
Another thought is this. Are 1600x1200 (4:3) LCD panels available new? All
I see now are widescreen monitors. I should have purchased a 1280x1024
panel when they were easily available, but didn't, and I would need one that
would work with both Sun and SGI.
If I was smart, I'd simply remove the need, and am leaning more and more to
doing just that.
