Title: 24 Khz Video Monitor any use for Amigas?
Post by: Gulliver on June 05, 2009, 01:06:45 AM: I ve just found a 24 Khz and up LCD monitor. The question is, Will it be any good to use without a scandoubler on a Classic Amiga? Which monitor driver and mode will you recommend me to use with it on an 040 AGA Amiga?

Hope someone can elighten me :)

Post by: ElPolloDiabl on June 05, 2009, 03:21:19 AM: erm Why did monitor manufacturers drop the 15khz scan in the first place?
Weren't there heaps of consoles that could have used it instead of a blurry SD TV?

Personally I find the best monitor driver to be Multisync + VGA Only....it looks pretty good esp when using an IndivisionAGA :)

Erm - what exactly is the difference between SDTV and 15 kHz supposed to be?

15 kHz were dropped when demand dropped and went to higher scan rates instead.

You would still need a Flicker Fixer/Scan Doubler to play 15Khz based games & Apps though!
