Still no reviews of it so it might end up being good (and I might be wrong on the above) but if you’re not bothered about your display looking like an early 00s LCD “retro style” I can’t see it offering value for money. |

If it's from Arcooda there is just one board. It's a LCD driver that syncs to 15kHz VGA input. At its heart is a Realtek chip like many monitors that sync to the frequencies more recent VGA computers produce, just a different part number. There's no GBS-C there - but the LCD driver board may well have come from the same factory and look similar. The control panel certainly does.

the best monitors currently available for the Amiga or any other computer are those new 27 inch and 32 oled screens, not the low end monitors which some are mentioning here
ie Dell Alienware AW3225QF Asus ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDM of course you need a scandoubler or some RGB 2 HDMI /Scart HDMI adapter or so but you will get perfect blacks, perfect scroll, almost zero input lag etc |

Not sure I fancy 1024x768 on a 32" screen that cost like a small car. Sure, blacks will look amazing but it will still look like pixelated crap. |

Back in the day I used a Sony XBR 25 inch with RGB in and the resulting video display was awesome and pixel free.

on the other way he is waiting for 4:3 panels, even harder for someone to build them...but a 16:9 panel is ok as long as you have the 4:3 option to set |

Burn-in isn't problem anymore since LGs C9. But if you really want it, there are ways. But it takes some time.

I don't care about those tests. They are pointless for real prove on how people uses their TVs/monitors. I'm using my C9 since 4 years for everything and it's fine, not a single sign of burn-in.

And, yes, The TechSpot test is a bit of a stress-test, but actually pretty close to a real-world productivity scenario (unlike the in-famous, heavily exaggerated RTings one). So if they (a fairly pro-OLED site) saw burn in after ~9 hours of daily use after 3 months you can easily extrapolate it into your situation. I bought a C2 about 8 months ago and it's indeed an amazing display, totally next-gen if you're coming from a plain old IPS/TN. But I only use it for TV/film viewing and some light gaming (probably not more than 5-10 hrs a week for games). I'd love to get one for my daily driver work stuff, but I simply can not afford to gamble a ~1000 USD on the burn-in lottery. Maybe in a few years, when the monitor price drops to ~500$ level and the tech improves even more, but certainly not now. |

Im some month (mostly winter) i played significantlly more than 5-10 hours a week, (Retro (with CRT filters) or modern games. I don't think it's a lottery anymore. Especially when technically conservative companies like Nintendo started to use OLEDs. Combine it with normal TV/movie use and you are fine.

Whats the grey screen behind the workbench called ?
Can you change the size of it or be controlled ? Can it be hidden? Can you change it to black ? When connect rgb-vga to Dell P1917S for example, using Pal high res screenmode this screen is centered. But all productivity modes I've tried with vga shifts this grey 'screen' to the left, leaving a black border on right and grey screen visible on left in relation to the main workbench window. Overscan tool has no control over it. See attachments. |

I don't know its real name, so let's call it the screen border. If you have full ECS or AGA, you can use one of a multitude of borderblank commodities/patches to make it black.

Wasn't there a tool/utility by C= that allowed you to move the whole of the Over Scanned desktop settings centrally on your screen?

Yes, the overscan prefs can help you center the screen and resize the visible viewport, but the Amiga fills in pen 0 across the entire overscan area and you can't quite stretch the viewport to be totally to the absolute edge of the screen.
Setting the v37+ border blank bit will help, then the bits outside of the viewport will be black. |
