New Retro Gaming Monitor
Unico has introduced the Traveller ULW10, a 10-inch 4:3 monitor aimed at retro gaming enthusiasts. The monitor is described as a PVM (Professional Video Monitor) with a panel that combines a classic display format with modern technology. It is designed to address the difficulties of connecting older game consoles to modern televisions, such as scaling, de-interlacing, latency, and aspect ratio issues.
Connectivity and Design
The ULW10 features RGB, VGA, and HDMI video inputs, supporting a range of consoles and modern devices. It also includes a USB Type-A port. A notable design element is a rear compartment that provides storage for compatible consoles behind the display. The monitor incorporates physical knobs and buttons for settings, mimicking older televisions. It will be available in red and white, cream white, and studio gray, and includes built-in carrying handles, though it lacks integrated speakers.
Input Selection and Display Features
Unico opted not to include a composite video input due to space constraints within the compact chassis. HDMI and VGA were included for modern devices and converters, while RGB SCART was chosen as the analog option for its balance of compatibility and image quality. Although not a true CRT monitor, the ULW10 can simulate CRT or pixel-art styles, providing a nostalgic visual experience for retro games.
Availability
The Traveller ULW10 will be launched via Kickstarter. Pricing details have not yet been confirmed, but interested individuals can reserve a 'Founder Spot' for $5, which includes a $30 credit towards backing the monitor on Kickstarter.
