Selling another batch of 19", 1280x1024, 5:4 aspect, Acer B196L monitors, modified to work at 15 kHz and play nice with most of the standard Amiga video modes.

These are native Amiga video modes compatible, you don't need an Indivision or any other form of scan doubler or anything. Just plug your Amiga in, set up the monitor and that's it. The only thing required is a RGB to VGA adapter, either a Commodore one or an aftermarket one, like some available here. Avoid the ones with locked bandwidth/jailbar filter.

Check monitor details thread to see how they behave with certain video modes.
In general, they behave favorably compared to the reference unmodified BenQ BL912 in a sense they also support video modes other than PAL and NTSC. Panel is also better, an ADS/IPS one compared to a TN panel in BL912s.

Tested on PAL A500, A500+, A600, A2000, A1200. Behavior on NTSC machines is unknown.

All supported video modes can be made jail bar and artifact free. To set it up properly consult a series of monitor setup guides (WIP).
If using a setup disk, choose 720 pixel wide pattern to setup both plain PAL & NTSC.
On AGA machines use the driver supplied on the setup disk to allow for DblPAL mode to be picked up correctly. On ECS machines use the OS supplied driver.

Currently, all these have Amiga modifications applied but on request they can be modified for the Atari ST/STE as well. Not for both at the same time though.

All these are used, so some wear marks, yellowing, occasional bad pixel or a few are to be expected.
In order to better describe the panel condition perhaps, I'll grade them as follows:
A - No defects or just a few dead/stuck pixels and/or minor almost invisible scratches
B - Some defects, perhaps more (dozen or so) dead/stuck pixels and/or some visible scratches which still makes the panel ok for day to day use
C - Even more various defects, usable perhaps for workshop, repairs desk or testing etc
My panel evaluation is subjective. Cosmetic condition is visible in the pictures. Ask for details in a PM.
