Nice update!
Yea having a 1920 x 1200 or 1600 x 1200 screen in combination with DOSBox indeed gives you pixel perfect picture
Unfortunately, the monitor I have doesn't do this when you connect a retro PC through VGA. It has the usual scaling artefacts like any other LCD monitor
I am on the lookout for a proper old-school 1600 x 1200 LCD, to see if they do nice integer scaling like DOSBox / Windows can do.
I took some photos from Wing Commander on my CRT. click on the thumbnails for full size.
Shot97, can you share your savegame for that Monkey Island scene? I'd like to take a photo of that also.
The monitor I have is quite worn out. Brightness and contrast is almost set to max, but the picture is still a bit dull. Hopefully it lasts long enough for me to get all the footage for some videos
