"Dual" DLCD1501 LCD TV - playing XTR :-)
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: I went in to ASDA wondering if they had a decent LCD TV, one with both SCART and VGA inputs. I found a 15" one for £169 and bought it. It was branded "Dual" and the model number is DLCD1501.

1024x768 from my Voodoo looks great, but I was initially a little bit disappointed with the SCART display as it looked in a way too good - you could see every pixel and it was a bit blocky, whereas on a TV it looks a bit softer. Then I found that the SCART input has an optional sharpening filter which was enabled. I set it to normal, and instantly games looked much softer.

I would definitely recommend this screen for Amiga users who have a graphics card and want a monitor to display all screenmodes, and also those who are looking for a cost-effective solution for the scandoubler problem.

The only problem is that you have to manually switch from VGA to AV with the remote, but it's a small inconvenience.

This shot shows the screen displaying a native Amiga resolution through its SCART input.

Yep, Workbench looks great! Just have a look at my other photos and you will see for yourself.

Ah, that solved it. I did not notice the other menus options there.

Once you're in the game, press Escape to bing up the menu. Then navigate to the menu page with the pixel width/height settings on it.

Out of curiousity... How do you change the pixel width of this game?? I read that you can change it, but on my 1200"aga" i find no such setting in the preferences? Does this setting apply to gfx cards? Because this game run entirely smooth on my setup even at fullscreen, but the graphics are very blocky because of the default pixel width.
