Title: AGA and SVGA monitor
Post by: Edwin on July 10, 2003, 08:26:36 PM

Hello, I'm usign Amiga as is written in signature ;). I don't have mediator, so I can't install any good gfx card :(. When I'll get some money I'll buy it...but...
Now I'm using my SVGA Sony E220 17" monitor, I'm using EURO72 Productivity driver, which gives me up to 640x400x8bit...this resoliution is too small ;(...I was trying to use DBLPAL but refresh rate is very low ;( ~59Hz... Maybe there is a way to reach higher resoliutions than 640x400? Thank You!

ps. sorry for my English...I'm from Lithuania... ;)

I know this might seem like a stupid question, but are you using a scan doubler / flicker fixer?

Hello Cyberus ;). I live in city Vilnius...there are 4 Amiga computer users in Vilnius whom I know ;). I know Savel from Kaunas, he uses Amiga1200 also :).
no I don't use scan doubler / flicker fixer :(. but what I can get whitout scan doubler / flicker fixer? ;)
there is no any Amiga shops in Lithuania :(...I think that I'll go to Poland soon to buy Mediator...

maybe magictv is a good thing for u ? i used this when i had no gfx card...but only 16 colors wb then...., hmm or was it 32....i dont remeber..sorry.
should be on aminet.
(atleast then NO flicker)

pps:mediator is a good choice , if u want a normal a1200 pci version then u should check amibench.com etc for second hand stuff (might be cheap) ... but i would say...go for sx model...

hmmm and i am pretty sure i used 800x600 on my old amiga microvitec monitor.... check for screenmode hacks on aminet...

I use DBLNTSC in 704 X 467 it´s a lot better than DBLPAL (no flicker, larger wb).
