Best LCD TV-set for the C64?
Most people I've talked to, doesn't recommend a LCD TV as a C64 monitor, but my question is: which is the best one? I'm looking forward to a slick C64 setup with 1541U and a very portable monitor. :D

Just thought I'd mention:
While my Samsung Flatscreen doesn't seem to handle any old or non-standard video, I recently bought a Denon AVR-1610 receiver that DOES. It works pretty well with the C64 and interlaced stuff in particular looks (almost too) good. The picture is slightly unstable though, something to do with the interlacing I guess.
So if you are thinking of shelling out money for a receiver anyway, this may be the reason to go ahead.

Got myself a Panasonic GW10 recently (plasma, so sorry for being a tiny bit OT ;-) ) and after fiddling a bit with the various cable connections (Scart looks like shit!) I can say that connecting it via S-Video/Mini-Din plug produces a pretty good picture. I got no frame skips with scrollers at all, so it seems to sync to the 50.12 Hertz perfectly. And after toning down the sharpness default of 5/10 to 0/10 the picture looks pretty nice. It's got a bit of shadow tearing to the right, but with pixel graphics this introduces kind of a little PAL blurring effect, it's not as crystal sharp as expected. A big downside is that it doesn't show any interlace at all, the internal circuits just blend the two frames together to show one. Can't say it looks too bad from a 3 m distance, but it's not quite what you're used to see. Anyway, I'm pretty ok with the result, more than fine enough for an occasional demo session without getting eye cancer. |

Well, I had now an AcerTV model: 2055 and looks quite similar results than yours, Steppe. I try DeusexMachina today first and everything is quite ok but Interlacedfli pics doesn't flicker and looks similar to what you said. I think this is probably the best we can get from these monitors, looking forward to see what Chamaleon can do...

Game mode, movie mode ect. usually means factory presets for brigtness/contrast/gamma etc. And I wouldn't expect any of modern LCD/LED/Plasma TVs to not have the interlace compensation for AV/S-video (unless clearly stated in the specs)....wich simply means all interlaced gfx modes looks like badly done drunken NUFLI.
Worst thing is, you can't disable it... |

"Some LCDs have a setting called "Game Mode", which typically disables deinterlacing and other image "enhancements" that interferes with game consoles" |

Mine also has a "game mode". Doesn't do shit except to have shitty colour presets and it's said to reduce latency by some ms. Apart from that the game mode looks the same as in cinema mode or in normal mode. ;-) |
