The VGA monitor component is great, but it's also very picky with which exact frequencies and sync signals it accepts. I wanted to simulate a design that uses a monochrome TV output just like the home computers and game consoles of the 70s and early 80s. A TV is very accepting with what you throw at it. I think the Atari 2600 varies the number of vertical lines from like 240 to 320 or so between the vsync pulses and an analog CRT TV will accept it and produce a decent image.
So I made a component that is similarly flexible and also displays the Hsync and Vsync on the screen as coloured areas. I probably should add markers for what's normally classified as the safe display area where the overscan and CRT curvature is not affecting the viewing.
A made it as an integral part of the Digital codebase - but maybe it would be better to make it as an external plugin.
@hneemann would that be possible or are there limitations to what can be done in the plugins?
