The Unico Traveller ULW10 is a modern 4:3 PVM-style monitor built for retro gaming, 10-inch screen, real RGBS input, and a $300 target price instead of the $1,000+ you'd pay for an actual professional video monitor. Unico sent me an early production unit to test for a few weeks ahead of their Kickstarter launch, and after hours with the PS1, PS2, Dreamcast and Analogue 3D, I've got good news and one pretty significant catch.
The picture is genuinely excellent. Sharp image, bright colors, no sprite ghosting, no noticeable latency from the analog-to-digital conversion, and front-panel knobs that let you dial in brightness and color instantly. It's the same Phoenix monitor tech arcade operators already trust for CRT replacements, and it shows.
The catch is the inputs. There's HDMI, VGA and RGBS, but no composite, no S-Video, no coax. That means a lot of North American consoles won't work out of the box. The NES, N64, GameCube and older systems like the Atari 2600 need a mod or an external converter to work at all. The SNES works, but only the original SNS-001 model. If you're deep in Nintendo hardware, you need to know that before you back this thing.
In this video I break down what's actually in the box, which consoles work with a $15 RGB sync cable, how it handles motion and latency, the three colorway options, and whether the $300 MSRP (or $280 for early Kickstarter backers) is worth it for your setup.
