Checkmate IPS Retro Monitor Starter Pack (19")

The monitors and accessories will probably be available early 2025. Subscribe to the product if you don't want to miss it! The final price might still change depending on conversion rates or similar.

The monitor features a beautiful 4:3 IPS panel, which is perfectly suited for all retro computers and consoles.
What's really special and makes it stand out from all other monitors out there is the modular slot system:
There is space for three different expansions, called pods.

Included is a standard pod that offers A/V and HDMI inputs.
You need other inputs, like EGA, SCART, Component or even RF? Get Appy's Scalar pod.

There are even pods available where you can install a Raspberry Pi or Mister - turning the monitor into a retro AIO system.
You can switch between these different Pods anytime and control them using the OLED front panel.

All inputs are also output via HDMI, so you can easily play retro systems and stream them at the same time (we even include an HDMI-to USB 3 adapter).
