Amiga and monitors. How'd you do it?

[alphagemini]

European users has a better situation tha US users, because of SCART connector wich is widely used standard here in Europe.

Any LCD TV work just fine with scart and has a solid rock flicker free picture with it. No need to have scandoubler or flickerfixers.

I've Samsung 19" LCD TV, I've connecter two amigas to it, my number one systen is connected via VGA and Compostie connector and second through scart.

Thanks for the post. I have an Amiga 4000/040 and my monitor has packed up. Where did you get the connector to go from your Amiga to the telly?

regards

well I have a 1084s which still works great with my 500 but nothing beats the Indivision AGA flicker fixer from Jens on my 1200 as it rocks all modern monitors

Just to say that my A1200 is still connected to my Microvitec 1438. Screen is very curved as they were in those days but it still works.

I just got a 23-pin RGB to 15-pin VGA from Vesalia.de

I haven't connected anything yet, but I have my TV and my cables. I hope it works! Either way, it appears that Vesalia is a good place to get stuff. Very quick shipping.

I tried searching, but I didn't find anything from Jens that appears to a live site. Can you post a link, please?

What the-? I just found it on amigakit but it's 130 GBP! That's a bit expensive... And no housing? Any other options anyone knows of?

Well, I tried hooking up my Amiga 500 to my Vizio E260MV, and it doesn't work. I called customer service and Vizio said that the TV auto-syncs. I hooked it up via 23-pin RBG to 15-pin VGA. I got nothing...
 
Any suggestions?

[SquirrelM@ster]

I suppose I'll just have to get a 13" Acer or something...

I used to have one of those before it died during a move.

It's decent. You'll get some very slight ghosting for stuff like workbench letters, and it's not 1000% smooth for scrolling games but its very workable, and we never had a problem with it, playing 2 player games and whatnot.

Just got a new 27" BenQ GL2750HM monitor. Quick testing on Windows gave 50 to 82 Hz but higher end of resolutions may give out of range messages. 320x200@50 Hz is the lowest I tried - pretty bad looking  when scaled to 1920x1080...

Was 320x200 at 15khz? Usually PC's output that mode at 31khz and double each line.
 
Big tv's make old computers look really bad, because you're supposed to use a 14 inch crt.

Dell st2420L here.. works with all 15khz+ amigas just hook it to the dell with the C= silver rgb to vga adapter. works great on mediator setups also,feed the stock amiga video to the vga port and the radeon to the other port. 1 monitor solution.

sl2320L,st2320L also work.its led backlight too!

mech

You've tested the ST2320L ? It'll display PAL modes?
Through straight VGA?


 Reason I ask is they still sell that one through dell.com and I have a bit of spare money to get this.

That's possible, couldn't check it yet.
...Ok, via VGA it seems to start @ about 23 kHz, so froliced too early.

I have an A4000D 060 with a cybervision & a flicker fixer that goes through a HP 22" monitor that works good (VGA).
I also run my PC through the same monitor using DVI, when using the A600 or A1200 I put them through a USB Easycap dongle using the software supplied http://www.amazon.co.uk/Easycap-Capture-Adapter-Supports-Professional-software/dp/B002BX4WSA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1326313611&sr=8-2 does the job and its a cheap (recordable) alternative.
