As my Sony 17" Trinitron is getting older (and my eyes are too), I asked myself if there is still no LCD display available to play my favourite dos games right from the hard-disk (not within dos-box) in a satisfactory way.
I did some research, and (apart of the common opinion that you absolutly need a CRT), I only found one model that seems to be appropriate:
19" (1280x1024) NEC LCD1990sxi with 9ms (grey to grey) / 18ms (rise and fall) response time.
The special feature it has (or should have) is the possibility to manually adjust the way the interpolation / expansion is done. So, if you have a resolution lower than the native one, you can choose in the osd between a 1:1, zoomed (with the original aspect ratio), or user defined expansion.
My questions are:
- Has anyone any experience with this model?
- Does anyone know another lcd monitor with similar capabilities?
- The lowest resolution listed in the specifications is 640x480. Is it nevertheless possible to use even lower resolutions (like 320x200)?
Thanks in advance!
