LCD Monitor

Post by genetika »

Hi.
I'm using a scart cable with an lcd/tv monitor with my QL.
Using monitor mode I'm not able to see the first three character on the left.
Which is The problem!?
;-)
Kind regards !

Most TVs and many monitors fail to see a few characters at the edge fo the screen due to overscan.

Mr Navigator got Jon Sim from JS Technology to do a mod on their Simple Video Scalar unit which compensates for overscan, allowing a QL to be connected to VGA monitors. Dr. Sim wrote an article about it in Quanta magazine. Info - try this link to a previous topic:
