WinUAE - Display

Screen

Primary Display driver Here, you can select which screen or graphics card you can display your Amiga screen on, useful if you have multiple monitors connected to your system.
Fullscreen sets the full screen resolution (see Settings), color depth and the Frequency (usually set to screen Default).
Windowed This lets you change the resolution used for the Amiga displayed in a Window on the PC screen.
Window resize allows window to be resized after starting emulation. Hint: to keep the aspect ratio, press CTRL while resizing the window.
Refresh rate can be set to default or one of the rates your monitor supports.
VRR monitor Experimental option for variable refresh rate monitors. Leave it unticked.
Buffering. Select type of buffering required: No buffering, double or triple buffering.

Settings

Native Windowed, Fullscreen or Full-Window with VSync setting.
RTG Windowed, Fullscreen or Full-Window with VSync setting.

Blacker than black shows the blanked border darker than black parts of the picture.
Remove interlace artifacts removes the flicker of interlaced screens. Not compatible with all software.
Monochrome video out
Filtered low resolution gives a smoother picture when the Amiga screen is shown at a lower resolution, instead of dropping every other pixel.
VGA mode resolution autoswitch picks the right resolution for VGA-like screen modes, keeping the picture in shape.
Display resync blanking
Resolution can be set to Lores, Hires or Super Hires.
Overscan can be set to TV (narrow, standard or wide), Overscan, Overscan+ or Extreme.
Resolution autoswitch can be disabled, always on, 10%, 33% or 66%.
Refresh rate will set how often the screen will be updated. Useful on slower PCs or graphics cards.
PAL or NTSC to set the video out mode
FPS adj is used to adjust the Frames per Second to the display to speed up or slow down the display (default is 50 fps)

Brightness, Contrast, Gamma and Dark palette fix can be adjusted with the slider.
Reset to defaults is used to set these settings back to defaults.

Centering

Checking the boxes will cause the Amiga output to be centered on the configured screen

Line mode

  • Single draws every line once.
  • Double draws every line twice. This allows interlace mode to be emulated nicely, but of course you also need a display that is twice as high.
  • Scanlines will not draw certain lines, leaving them black.
  • Double, fields and Double, fields+

Interlaced line mode

Line mode when output is interlaced: Single, Double, frames, Double, fields or Double, fields+.
