display

First off, @3lectr1c has a nice overview of the stock electrolytic caps for the 180c display on his MacDAT web page here: https://www.macdat.net/repair/cap_reference/apple/powerbook/180c.html And "halkyardo" in the other forum has posted his solid tantalum recapping experience here...

This question is for you experts out there, and that includes @Ron's Computer Videos & @Mac84 & @techknight . Because the display is Passive Matrix, is ghosting normal, or is it showing only because the stock caps inside the display haven't been changed? You can more easily see what I mean in...

I've been looking for one of these displays for years. Today was my lucky day! This is a very rare Radius branded version of the SGI 1600SW. It's 1600x1024 and would normally have an OpenLDI connector. The person I got this from got it from a SGI engineer who made a custom DVI cable for it...

Hi all, maybe can be good to have subforum for displaying outputs from vintage (mosty) 8-bit computers (S-video=Y/C, RGB, video=composite...) on modern LCDs with either help of cheap convertors, FPGAs... or on special monitors with "vintage" inputs etc. I'm using some retrocomputers (C64, C128...
