Title: Best monitor for A3000 and Picasso II
Post by: curtis on April 04, 2014, 11:25:10 PM

The title pretty well sums it up.

I've got my 3000 pretty much the way I want it, but the Picasso II board just doesn't seem to like any of my LCD monitors, so I' thought I'd shout out to the experts here.

I'd prefer to go LCD due to weight and desktop space considerations.

I appreciate in advance all the comments.  Well, at least the helpful ones...

In all my recent testing I had no issues with Picasso II and generic Dell 19" monitors. They're decommissioned from our office PC's so perfect for an Amiga, especially since they're not widescreen. Make sure you remove the resistor on your PII board. Models like 1906fp, 1907fp, 1908fp... Dell has about a million different model numbers, all basically describing the same thing. If you can find one labeled "ultrasharp" those are usually brighter and crisper.

This one should do you just fine:
