Hi Guys,
I'm almost in the procces of buying the Indivision SD/FF from Vesalia or Toastscan from Softhut.
I have an 17" TFT Dell E173FP Monitor which according to a PDF Manual from Dell has 31-80Khz Horizontal Scan Range and 56-76Hz Vertical Scan Range. I emailed Vesalia a week ago about the specs that Indivision requires to run on a TFT Monitor and they said that it will run ok on ~31Khz @ 50Hz.
Will these specs are ok for my monitor or my 56hz will not do the trick? Anyone tried any one of these SD/FF's on a TFT Monitor?
I would also like to know if there are differences between Indivision and Toastscan.
P.S. I saw in the Images section a guy that was using an A1000 with the Toastscan on an IBM TFT Monitor.
Am I Jealous???? Nooooooooope! :)

Hi!
As you may have seen, the Indivision scandoubler/flicker fixer (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=414) is available from AmigaKit.com too.
I've tested the scandoubler/flicker fixer on the Philips 190B4 TFT monitor that is here and it works.
Any further specific tests you need, get in contact (http://contact.amigakit.com) and they can be tried out.

From experience with scan-doublers/flicker-fixers and 31khz horizontal scan capable monitors, usually PAL may not work, while NTSC always works, as PAL scan-doubled is closer to 30khz and NTSC scan-doubled is slightly over 31khz.
It all depends on how touchy/sensitive your monitor is to the lowest horizontal frequency supported.
It's usually best to pick a monitor that guarantees 30khz lowest horizontal frequency in order to make sure that PAL will work.

toastscan work great with pal or ntsc
