Spaced Cowboy Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 So mine just turned up today and it does indeed work very well in all resolutions - I think it works best in mono when you set the desktop background to the first non-white pattern rather than the standard checkerboard, or you get a beats-effects in the black/white background, but it syncs seamlessly to all three resolutions, and it's rock-steady, no dot-crawl at all on mine. I do think these are refurbished ones though - the screen had a greasy fingerprint on it, and the enclosing wrap on it was already ripped at the back. No big deal, it works just as well. The packaging was very well done - obviously a custom cardboard box for this monitor, and very well protected for its travels. It's also not as completely dominant on top of the mega-STE as I thought it would be. Perhaps I've just got used to larger monitors in my old age Overall, I'm very pleased with it - combined with a Centurion monitor-switch box it works very well indeed.

Jfcatari Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 Hmm...based on the description it says NEW: I am glad to hear that you are happy with it. It truly is a wonderful monitor at that price that works with retro stuff!

SpicyChronos Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Just purchased two of these. One for my desktop, and the other for my Mega ST4 when I get it unboxed. I'll have to wire up a cable, but that should be fairly easy. Or I just found that Best has these cables. I'll check it out. Thanks again all for finding this monitor!

The is a direct-from-Dell monitor, I'm sure they're honour any warranty, and it works perfectly well right now so I'm not bothered about it - just thought it was worth mentioning.

Thanks again all for finding this monitor! Does this monitor have a male or female VGA connector? I'm looking at the Best Electronics cable, and I see that it is a female connector. Might have to order a gender changer? Thanks!

Jfcatari Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 The cable from best works well too. You will need a gender changer or another male to male vga cable.

slx Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Any idea if the smaller ones like the 2222H work as well? Amazon.de has the 27" unit for 109 EUR with free shipping for Black Friday (the 22" unit is slightly below 80 EUR). (I currently have a 27" iMac and don't like how much space that screen takes up, so I'd hate to clutter my desk even more with a 27" monitor for an ST that doesn't use the widescreen aspect anyway.)

Jfcatari Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 The P2222H does not support 15kHz. I have one and bought it thinking it did.
