@TheGivingWolf It all depends on the nature of it. Drop me a DM and I’ll check what can I do and will come back to you asap. Thanks!

The approach is actually quite simple. My monitors don’t process or scale the image internally. They display the signal they receive, so for older systems the final result depends on the source and any external scaler or converter being used. I design and handcraft them as compact retro-inspired displays, rather than all-in-one video processing solutions.

@RealGameHistory @Retroldtech I’ve tried to look what approach is being used (especially for older machines) but I’ve never been able to find anything. I’ll have to check out the Unico product, they make great arcade monitor replacements from all accounts
English

@RealGameHistory @mattatronics That’s fair feedback. I design and handcraft these monitors myself in small batches, and I agree the website could do a better job of making some information easier to find. I’ll keep that in mind. As for other products, they may simply have a different approach and purpose.
English

@mattatronics @Retroldtech I would love to understand what these LCDs/products are. There is some info buried on their site, but for such an expensive product, you shouldn’t have to dig. Unico is apparently trying to do something similar, but with more tech packed in. That approach makes more sense…

English

@mattatronics @RealGameHistory Hopefully my answer above helps clarify it.

@RealGameHistory @Retroldtech I admire your perseverance 😂 I see you ask this all the time without reply
English

The monitor doesn’t process the image, so there’s no additional lag from image processing. Any response time comes from the LCD panel itself. I don’t have the equipment to measure exact latency figures, but in my own experience playing games since the mid 80s, I’ve never found it to get in the way of enjoying any game.

@Retroldtech How much additional lag is created by connecting a genesis/md directly to your lcd?

@pierin0lartista Handcrafted, one person, no factory. The price reflects that.

I build handcrafted monitors. That’s what I do and what I focus on. The monitors are real, that’s what matters. I respect that AI is a sensitive topic for many people and I understand the different reasons behind that. I use it simply to create an imaginary setting around the only thing I care about, the monitors themselves. Not everyone will agree with every choice, and that’s completely fine.
English

@Retroldtech IMO AI is such a hot topic thing that it would make sense to avoid possibly alienating your audience. There are many gamers and creatives that despise AI in the gamer space, and while you state what is and isn't AI this just adds to the slippery slope
