I have not used this model first-hand, but I believe this is one of the models Amiga users have said is 15KHz compatible.
$129.99 shipped
Great deal!

Sold out

Shoot, just saw that... might be worth a call to your local Best Buy if you're looking for one!

That monitor has a very similar model number to the one that was being discussed in this thread (as having caused booting lockups):

People have mentioned the SR2320 as being amiga compatible, and I know for a fact the ST2320 is. I havent experienced any lockups at all

I'm 100% sure those lockups are caused by a cheapo 9-pin -> 25pin adapter...

I wish someone would report back on the larger Dells. I saw a link on toms hardware the other day for a dell 24" with good specs for around $275 or so of I recall. Just did not want to chance it...

Bigger monitors doesn't look so hot with a native Amiga's output (eg 320x240). I'm currently using a 24" BenQ which is ok but makes everything look a bit blocky. As soon as I can get an IndivisionAGA Mrk2 I will swap to my 21" model which is probably as big as you'd want to go (19" is probably better to be honest).

Isn't it 15-pin to 23-pin?

A couple weeks ago I purchased a Dell ST2421L from Walmart.com for $199 shipped to store:

It seems to work pretty well with my 4000T, but I haven't yet tried any games or anything - just various workbench modes. There is some banding, but certainly beats trying to find a decent old CRT multisync.
-
If anyone ever finds me a large one I will happily buy one.
Large is defined as 42" or larger.
Must be PAL/NTSC compatible.
Thanx

I have an old Panasonic commercial plasma 42PWD6UY in my master bedroom that syncs down to 15KHz over its VGA input. That's actually what I used to set my 4000T into a VGA mode when I first got it because I had no other 15KHz displays at the time.
I love that plasma and will never retire it unless it dies. It's only 480p, but the picture quality is great.

I just got a lyra KB adapter for my A1200 and I was going to put my A1200 on my desk with my KVM, its just that my current 24" won't sync up to the a1200 and the indivision AGA MK II is made of unubtanium. the 2320 is ok, but picture quality wise its not on par with my old 24.
Also I'm sure my vision is probably somewhat less acute than yours after my 10 laser procedures.
I do think games on my minimig look best on this old 19" 4:3 monitor I have, however I have really gotten to like 724x283 resolution on my 24" for non game stuff. It makes the pixel ratio pretty close to 1:1
I suppose if I put my minimig in 15HZ mode i can test monitors to see if they'll work without having to bring in my A1200 and let those remedials working at the BB or CUSA touch it.
-
Isn't it 15-pin to 23-pin?
possibly.... I never counted.
Yes the 2320 way beats most available alternatives I have found.
I finally found someone who paid more for me for that monitor! I bought it and 3 weeks later it went on sale and BB would not pony up... J/K different model numbers :)

Yeah, I have a 720p Plasma that can handle 3D. I purchased it in preference to an LCD 1080p unit. The display is fabulous and it wasn't that expensive.

I got mine in the mail today.
Standard screen modes look beautiful, interlaced modes look like crap.

You got a 2320 ?
I haven't really tried interlace modes much, but when they do show up in games (Team 17 logo) they don't look great.
-
Yep, grabbed one off EBay as soon as I saw this post. DCTV looks like hell through it too.
Good monitor for musick apps, games and such though.
-
Are there any monitor drivers that this might benefit from?
-
They were sold out before I even saw this post. ;(

xdelusion
It has composite input for DCTV? composite always looks crap on LCD.
Can you try the monitor with a cable tv box with HDMI? I'm trying to see if I could use this monitor for an HDTV as well. thx
-
Don't have cable tv.
Was using a commodore 23 to 15 pin adaptor with DCTV
