These are all Grade A quality, both cosmetically and panels, with low panel hours. Enquire for more info on each one but IMO there is nothing to choose between each one!

These have been modified using @drugkito's amazing firmware to work natively with Amiga 15 kHz modes - no scandoubler required! These are equivalent to the BenQ 15kHz monitors but with better panels and perfect compatibility with all Amiga native modes - NTSC, PAL, DBLPAL, etc etc,

They are set up to do full screen PAL/NTSC overscan with no jailbars, focus lines or other artefacts. They look amazing!

Tested on PAL A500, A500+, A600, A2000, A1200, A4000.

NOTE: To set them up properly a series of monitor setup guides is available here. It's important that the auto-setup is run once from this disk or the buit-in Screenmode prefs mode test screen (see screenshots) to give optimal picture.

More detailed monitor info can be found here.
On AGA machines use the driver supplied on the setup disk to allow for DblPAL mode to be picked up correctly.

UK buyers: for UK buyers means no customs or expensive shipping from EU. Ask me for shipping quote outside UK.

Note: A portion of the sales cost goes to @drugkito to fund his ongoing monitor dev work - he approves and support these sales for UK buyers!

Hello.
Is it a IPS screen ?
For delivery in France, do you have a idea about customs and shipping?
Some acer have vga and dvi, and some have only vga. What about this monitor please?
Last question : you didn't test pal hires laced resolution (640x512).
Is this resolution works?
Thank you.

According to the specs it is IPS: https://www.acer.com/us-en/monitors/business/v6/pdp/UM.CV6AA.B04
But I’m not able to guarantee that it actually is! I heard that over time various panels were used… although they look great and have no defects.

Interlace modes work, but suffer from scanline issues where the interlace frames aren’t displayed in the correct order/position so the image doesn’t look perfect. In practice this is acceptable for games but not for workbench/text. However DblPAL/NTSC work great as an alternative with the same resolution.
Very few LCD panels work with interlace modes (without a scandoubler) unfortunately.

They have both VGA and DVI inputs.

If you’re interested then we can discuss delivery options on PM if you declare interest, thanks!
