[Coco] [coco] Samsung SyncMaster 730MW

[Luis Antoniosi (CoCoDemus)]

It works through SCART port, setting to any europe region (you loose the
RF).

But it's not optimal as the RGB was made to TV and not computers. Lilke it
blurs the image. Tweaking the contrast/brightness you can get acceptable
values.
