Title: Good Cheap TV for Amiga Display
Post by: Sutty100 on January 15, 2012, 02:42:36 PM
I just bought a flatscreen TV from Argos for my Amiga as I got bored waiting for a flicker fixer and the display quality is great so thought I would pass on the make and model: Its a Hitachi L19VG07. £109.99 at the moment.

Thanks for the info. Would it work for an Amiga 4000? I wonder

Im assuming your connected via the scart socket ? does it display PAL interlaced without flicker ? I have a Technika 32" LCD that displays interlaced rock steady, whereas I also have a Goodmans 19" that flickers like crazy and the standard PAL screen is a bit muddy looking to be honest :/

There is a thread about this in eab. They have tested many LCD-TV without flickering, so if LCD-TV is flickering it is just bad luck.

I've test 3 dirrefent, none of them has any problems.
