I always preferred the old 4:3 aspect ratio screens with Amiga.  Unfortunately they're hard to find in anything much larger than 20"...  :(


I wish there some more options bigger than 20" for proper 4:3.  

I've got an eBay alert set for the Pioneer PDP-402 and Hantrex PD40 (40" 4:3 plasma's) but I've never seen one for sale in Australia :(

The stretched display doesn't bother me that much...disable the auto fit and having the black bars on the side bothers me more.  My choice in this monitor was that it also supports the Amiga native modes (Dell ST2420LB).

In my opinion the best monitor aspect ratio for display Amiga modes is 5:4 (the same as native). Unfortunately this ratio is only found in 17" or 19" monitors. I use XTREME mode (made especially for Indi AGA) for Workbench (1280 x 1024) on my Dell 1708FP with the same native resolution. It gives me just perfect, razor sharp display.

For games and demos I have defined 640 x 512 VGA mode. Then Indivision upscales the image 2x and monitor again upscales 2x, adding a bit of blur, which is nice effect. Image takes the whole screen without any borders.

Of course gaming experience is better on big displays, but then they are mostly 16:10 or 16:9 so one either has to stretch the image horizontally (which is done by monitor) or have vertical black bars on the sides (which can be either done by monitor or Indivision).

Any chance I can have a copy of your config file? I would like to try it out on mine.

Same as mine yes. 4000T and 1200 share the same boards.

Not the same between A1200 and A4000 (unless it's the A4000T).

Thanks for the info Acill and SnkBitten!  Can't wait to install one on my 1200. Cheers!  -- Bill
