@xan Yes, I went through a couple of displays to find one that does not scale up to full size, blurring out the image.
I used to have a 21-inch MegaPixel Color Display (CRT) but gave it to the late Tony Diaz and settled, after the aforementioned search for a non-scaling LCD, on the 19-inch NEC MultiSync 1990SXp (1280x1024 native). It centers the NeXT display on the LCD.

Next game I got at #PrettyHeroes from WoodForSheep.ca is #NextStation TOKYO. I played Next Station LONDON and loved it. Can't wait for Blue Orange Games to make Next Station TORONTO. LOL

Anyone know if NeXT 68k computers (non-Turbo models) can use 30-pin RAM SIMMS with higher-density chips?
ie, instead of 4MB sticks with 8x4mbit chips, 4MB sticks with 2x16mbit chips.
The latter are sold for Macs of the same vintage, but I don't know if NeXT computers like them.

#Brettspiele sind auch auf einem #Festival ein schöner Zeitvertreib - auch wenn es dafür bereits irritierte Fragen von Anderen gab. Diesmal im Zuggepäck dabei: #NextStation:Paris #Azul #RailroadInk und #Oh!Miau!Wau! aus dem Hause @ode

Nachdem leider das Netzteil rechtzeitig zur Führung kaputtgegangen war, läuft die #NeXTstation wieder. Es hat den MOSFET zerrissen. #datArena #vclab #vintagecomputing

Thinking of NEXTSTEP this morning...I'd guess many aren't aware of the unusual color display arrangement.
The NeXTstation, which was the first "affordable" color solution for NEXTSTEP, has a 16-bit framebuffer, but instead of rendering the desktop in 65,536 colors (as per Windows or Mac hardware, say), it rendered in 12-bit color with 4-bits of alpha channel (transparency).
That means it had a palette of 4096 colors, with all colors available at once on the display (not like, say, the Amiga or Apple IIgs with a 4096 color palette, but video modes with a small subset of those colors available (yes, yes, HAM mode excluded). Additionally, anything on the screen had 16 levels of opacity available.
It's interesting to see in person, on the actual hardware (especially on a good LCD display). With dithering, it looks very close to 24-bit truecolor.
(The NeXT Dimension color board for the Cube allowed 24-bit color with 8-bits alpha, but that was not so frequently used -- less so than most NeXT hardware even...)
But that's not nearly the weirdest that NEXTSTEP-capable hardware got, when it came to color video display...

Does anybody know if there are technical drawings of the #NeXTstation case (and other devices, too) available?

Well, after weeks of making "educated" guesses based on old usenet posts and playing around with video timing generators, today I finally busted out the oscilloscope and took measurements to define a custom input resolution and get my NeXTStation Color recognized by the $30 new-old-stock video switcher/scaler I purchased (a Kramer VP-728) #nextstation #retrocomputing #customvideotimingmodes
