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

Same sort of discussion as in here.

i bought that display a few months ago, works fine with c64. of course, it is a 16:9 display, so the screen will have the wrong aspect ratio. For watching the odd demo its pretty decent though. (and it is cheap too!) |

Cresh: Yeah, there are lots of similar discussions, but this one is the most clever one I've found. Haven't seen anyone else dealing with the 50.12 Hz problem.
Fierman: Thanks, might try it out. How is it handling smooth scrolling stuff? |

The monitor that i am using at the moment allows 50hz via nvidia control panel. Will try powerstrip at some point to see whether or not i can set it to 50.12 or similar.
There may still be issues with emulators syncing to it constantly without no dropout however. There was a build of x64 (x64e) which would sync to refresh with lesser dropouts
My x110p projector can even allow 50hz (nice 3 metre c64 screen :-)
edit: Monitor is LG 2342P 3D passive 23" |

Cruzer: I bought the same set, also on recommendation from Fierman. It handles smooth scrolling surprisingly well! Haven't noticed any visible frameskips/double frames at all. The only downer is that the 16:9 aspect ratio is fixed. If you can live with the stretching it's a great choice; it certainly doesn't get much more portable. Personally I consider it well worth the money; as a coder I'd take stretched pixels over jerky scrolling any day of the week. |

I have one of these: http://www.camos-multimedia.com/index.php?content=products&grou..
They sync perfectly to a 50.12Hz signal, have S-Video (and VGA) input, 4:3 aspect ratio, the resolution (800x600) is high enough to show every pixel and they come in 8 or 10 inch size. Definitely not cheap though. |

'only' 350 euro..... They have really great products though. Bookmarked. Thanks :)
Cruzer: what radiantx says, scrolling is smooth. A small downside, besides the aspect ratio, though is that sometimes due to the resolution a colourbleeding effect can be noticed. Not sure if this also happens with mrsid's superduper display. |

Has anyone tried those small TFT screens which were built to be hooked with PSone? |

They work, but they're only 320x240 in resolution and only 5" in size. Not really suited well for C64 use... |

Umm, some sources claim that resolution of official Sony model is 640 x 480...?!? |
