Yes, I tested STE low/med/high resolutions, and then a bunch of Falcon resolutions. It handled the low/med resolutions great but ST high not so well (see first couple of posts in thread).ijor wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2024 10:43 pmAh, you tested it only with a Falcon. But I understand @stween tested it with a STE, right? Or this monitor was tested with Falcon only so far?stephen_usher wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2024 10:39 pm I don't know. I don't have an ST -> VGA cable to try it.

ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Not sure it's exactly the same monitor, but Argos have this one on offer for £74 at the moment... tempting
