Mighty fine dude! Did you retain the last display, or found a "better" one?
 
I couldnt find a better one. The res is mostly ok, especially when emulating 320x 240 or such retro stuff. Half life is perfectly fine. Its just with an old non led panel the viewing angles are pretty poor and the backlight gives poor blacks. I suppose in contrast to an old CRT it is fantastic! There are some better screens but at too high a price.. panellook.com lists a few candidates I'll keep an eye out for.

Duct tape FTW! see, another advantage.

In honour of my completing it (apart from the python flashing lights script) I've pulled my finger out and also finished the Acorn Electron. I'll post about that in a sec:)

cheers!
