  1. 7:10 "there is also a complete loss of sync every few seconds" & 7:17 "this interrupt jitter moment is where some screens lose the sync completely (congrats on finding these texts 🙂 "

  6. Can it run old 8/16 bit games? I really dont understand about this ;-;

    My idea is get some little screen and a battery and make a portable myself, like, I can just install some pirate emulator on my psp, but that way is waaay more cooler hahahaha

    ein MESS-schieber ist ausschließlich zum MESSEN – NICHT! zum anreißen! es tut jedes mal so weh und zeigt wie wenig ahnung leute von dem haben was sie da machen
    aber gut – wird seinen grund haben warum man das, was man früher mal simpel schlosser nannte, heute kompliziert industriemechaniker nennen muss

  12. I absolutely love your monitor setup, but I'm at a complete loss as to what kind of monitor the one beneath your main on is, the slanted one just in front of the keyboard.

    Has anybody got an idea what model of screen that is?

  14. meanwhile i'm trying to figure out what exactly you're trying to do
    like what is this board meant for? What does it connect to?
    I know it might seem like i'm just being rude but these are genuine questions, this video showed up in my feed without any context

  19. That is extremely impressive, doesn't seem like it'd be too hard to use one of these modules as the video solution to any number of DIY retro computers. VGA timing issues can cause some REALLY odd bugs. I remember having an old CAD/business graphics card which would do utterly bizarre things if the power in the house flickered at all, narrowed it down to Hsync going haywire when this happened. needed to restart to fix it.

  20. you nmeed to put this into a hud so you can over glass so you can see a floating video (over glass means there is a glass over the screen so you have a floating hud over the screen .
