Displays tested with the MiST

MiST cores have video timings closely derived from the timing of original machines, resulting in video output that is not 100% VGA compatible. Different displays cope differently with this so below is a list of tested units.

All PAL modes with a vertical scan rate of 50Hz are exceeding the VGA specification which requires at least 56Hz. Some screens can support a horizontal scan rate of 15khz (TV) modes although this is way below the VGA requirement of 31.5kHz.

Please note in the comment column of single cores/video modes are not supported.

Display size Rating 50Hz 15kHz Comments
LG M1717A 17" 4:3 99% Yes Yes Multisync, support 15khz on vga input
LG M1917A 19" 4:3 99% Yes Yes Multisync, support 15khz on vga input
Eizo Flexscan L568 17" 1280x1024 95% Yes Yes permanent "signal out of range" message on 15kHz modes, works anyway
Eizo Flexscan MX1905 19" 1280x1024 90% Yes No
Dell 1908FP 19" 1280x1024 90% Yes No
ASUS VE248H 24" 1920x1080 95% Yes No Displays all cores without problems (even the SMS and GB one)
Eizo Flexscan M1700 17" 1280x1024 95% Yes No Displays all cores without problems (even the SMS and GB one)

SiDi can connect to upscalers like OSSC for connect on TV with HDMI input.
