Title: LCD monitor for Amiga 500
Post by: Florida on September 10, 2011, 04:13:43 PM

Analog Scanning Frequency (H, V) Analog: 24 – 80 kHz, 49 – 76 Hz
Will this work on an Amiga 500 for gaming and Workbench?
 
Is there a regular manufactured cable out there that I can use to connect the Amiga to the VGA input on the monitor?
 
Any recommendation for a 20" non widescreen, preferable beige color non CRT monitor

You generally need 15 khz to work. There was a thread recently where a few suitable lcd models were mentioned. Im on my phone right now so cant link you.

To connect it, just need an amiga rgb to vga adapter. Amigakit and vesalia both sell those.,,,,,,,,

I did try out the Dell SR2320L on my A500 and it does work using the Commodore VGA monitor adapter that I used on my A1200.
