The study holds the bulk of the serious gear. The MiSTer FPGA and the MiST FPGA are set up here, both connected to a NEC 1970NXp. The Mega ST 4 "Low" machine is set up and running on a Dell SE2722HX 27 that handles 15kHz, serving as the demo- and game-machine.
The rest of the Atari hardware is stored here but not set up, mainly for lack of space:
The L365 was a genuinely premium 15-inch panel when it launched in 2001, and that quality still shows today. It was one of the brightest and most contrast-rich LCDs of its era, with 300 cd/m² brightness and a 450:1 contrast ratio, far ahead of most competitors, and it already offered gamma correction and precise colour temperature adjustment, features usually reserved for expensive CRT monitors. It also had a DVI-D digital input alongside VGA, which avoided the flicker of analogue LCDs and gave a pixel-sharp image.
+For retro computing it's ideal. Its native 1024×768 at 4:3 matches the classic Atari/DOS desktop resolutions, and its high-quality scaling chip upscales lower resolutions like 640×480 or 800×600 far more cleanly than cheap monitors from the same era. And EIZO built it for round-the-clock industrial and office use, so after more than 20 years it still runs perfectly without noticeable backlight degradation. That's exactly what you want driving the ET4000 in the "High" machine.
+The Batocera box is the couch-friendly setup for casual sessions across dozens of systems, no FPGA timing precision required. The Raspberry Pi 400 (running Hatari and PiMiga) also lives here, connected to a small NEC 18-inch monitor as the flexible, high-resolution alternative to the original hardware. The A1200 console is on pre-order and will join this setup.
