XRGB Mini green screen emulation?

 

I just got the XRGB Mini hooked up with all my retro computers. The quality is truly amazing as is the scanline emulation. See attached. There's a little lag but you start not to notice. It's less than half a second.

 

Is it possible to set a color Composite source to display only green (or Amber) to emulate a green CRT monitor? E.g. for Apple II or Amstrad?ede232715912286ab90e3ab2acd145d4.jpgc1e6ab892079cad5a34e38fbadb5a997.jpg5456cc5fc2dd19570045208990a8c5e4.jpg225e0f360beaa1ff336e887e931a902a.jpg

I'm not aware of any mode to change to green screen, etc. I never understood that desire anyway, because the Apple II (and Amstrad) is a color computer. It was green screen back in the day because some people couldn't afford color monitors. I do know people who claim they prefer monochrome displays because of the garish color palettes of some older computers, but I never really understood that either.

 

In terms of lag, it's arguable that the XRGB-mini actually reduces lag. Any HDMI source (and display) has lag of its own, but since the XRGB-mini outputs a native HDMI signal, it should eliminate the need for your display to do any processing, getting closer to its possible peak performance. In any case, I've never been bothered by any perceived lag of the XRGB-mini.

Some people = my parents.

 

At least, that's what my dad came home with. He only wanted the Apple for spreadsheets, and I love it all the same.
