It's no secret that I simply love the JVC built Commodore 1702 monitor. It's a solidly built and excellent performing monitor.

One thing that lets the monitor down is the fact that isn't a multi-standard monitor, meaning it only support PAL or NTSC (depending on where there monitor is from.)

Another common problem with these monitors is that most 1702 monitors are now nearly 40 years old, and can be quite worn out.

Let's fix both of these issues by making a one of a kind multi-format and improved 1702 monitor!
