I'm looking for info on this All-in-one "TV/multimedia" PC (486 CPU). Mainly the screen quality - how good is the PC SVGA and SCART quality?

It looks like this (google images):

I kind of want one of those now. 🤣 It would be neat having a 90s CRT TV and a 486 or Pentium machine in the same box. I wonder what the rest of its specs are like...

Didn't compaq make something like this too? It was not nearly as nice as this though with all the panel connections on the front.

Check me out at Transcendental Airwaves on Youtube! Fast-food sucks!

Compaq did make kinda the same thing - Compaq Presario 520.

But this Siemens is nicer, becouse it has SCART input. You can connect many old 8 an 16 bit computers/consoles to it. That is why I'm asking about monitor quality. I believe it should be better then Commodore 1084.

About specs... there isn't much to be found. This is a pics of the inside:

I guess it ether 486DX/2-66 or -80MHz. For Pentium I found one with 100MHz. From above picture it has onboard Tseng graphics card and there is even PCI/ISA expansion possible.

There is one of these selling in my area for about 20€. But the seller doesn't know anything and even doesn't bother to take some photos. So can be ether 486 or Pentium one.
