Benq XL2410T, Can't handle 15KHz as the specs say

[Matt_H]

Others here have reported that a 24" Benq works with 15KHz modes - can't recall the precise model. It's in the thread about the Dell SR2320L, though.

[Gradius]

Well, if another BenQ was able to accept 15kHz, it wouldn't be a surprise this one also can, but you need to test in NTSC to be sure.

My BenQ 2420HD works with my A1200 when used with RGB to VGA converter.  Picture is not great but it is good enough when I switch back to AGA from my Mediators Radeon DVI output. It's a very useful monitor in this respect.

Keep a BenQ 2420HD here for 15kHz Amiga use.

Also use a SANYO LCD-22VT11DVD , which is a combined 55cm LCD TV + DVD player.
Has a SCART input which works fine with the Amiga in 15kHz modes.

Yeah the 2420HD is pretty good with most Amiga modes.

I can't get my Benq XL2410T to display 320 resolutions even though it says it can...weird!

[Gradius]

320x340 is pretty weird resolution anyway.

320x240 or 220 are more common.

[TheDaddy]

I don't understand why this monitor won't support 320x240 and 320x256 even though it says so in the specs...weird!

Well, this newer model (XL2420T) also claims to handle 15kHz for VGA/HDMI. Anyone tested this one?

Quite expensive of course, but would be really interesting if it does sync correctly beacause it can also display 4:3. Or perhaps that only applies to DVI inputs...

[spaceman88]

Yeah, 15KHz monitors... the Holy grail for Amigans :laughing:

Don't forget about the Dell ST2320L, a current model that supports both PAL and NTSC. It also does 4:3 as well as 16:9. With games, most (but not all) of the European games were also released in NTSC as well, but most of the "pirate" collections only have the PAL versions. In the later days of Amiga software some the publishers stopped making the NTSC versions (shrinking market I guess).

Can second this monitor. It's excellent and works flawlessly.

Can the ST2320L do 4:3 in all resolutions, or at least the lo-res ones used in games? Another competitor, the BenQ G2420HD, does not do 4:3 for 15kHz modes reportedly:

I used the 4:3 mode in regular NTSC. I also played with Scala MM400 in PAL mode and I think that was in 4:3 mode as well, but I'm not sure because I was also using the widescreen modes in testing (which look fairly good as well). I'd do a test now, but my amiga is in several pieces doing an upgrade.

Just read a terrible review of that dell monitor - i wonder if there is a newer led backlit monitor that has both good reviews and works on the amiga.

LOL! The specs have now changed! 16KHz! That is then, now we know why!

Im not a monitor guru or anything but I dont see why it would get bad reviews. Seems perfectly fine to me.
