1. Checkmate intends to produce a black version and they have produced black versions of their cases.
2. I can imagine Mr. Archer's NuIO board as a pod.
3. No more splitter cables - speakers are built in.

I backed it. Shouldn't be rocket science to adapt a board for it.

I've seen Stephen Jones around, he seems to do good stuff!

I've been listening to Stephen's YouTube livestreams about this monitor (and I've backed it myself).  While he hasn't mentioned NeXT specifically, he has mentioned "old UNIX workstations needing sync-on-green", so I would expect the answer will probably be yes, or at the very least yes with a minimal amount of effort.

Here's hoping!
