Amiga 1200 to VGA

[lassie]

Hello all!

What kind of converter do I need to connect my 1200 to VGA input?
My Amiga has been in a box to long now, and if there are any way to hook it up to my LCD TV it would be awesome.. the old monitor does not work that well :/


Cheers!

Hi you can use Composite video out cable, you know red, white, yellow and then connect them back on the tv, or RGB AV Scart Cable TV Lead. You can buy them on ebay or AmigaKit.com

In europe, yes. In North America, they don't have scart, and the TV's are NTSC, while almost all amiga stuff is in PAL format. :mad:

Yes you are right, i have not thought of that. glad you pointed that out

Are there not many televisions in america that have scart? What are your standard connection in tv,s?

Yes, I had a look and found:
http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=226

guessing that is what I am looking for

also, I found:

*drooooling …* seems there will be quite a bit of nostalgia taking place here very soon

Yes your are about to take a trip back to yesteryear, where games were fun

But that cable you found is the same i use in my 43 inch plasma and it works fine

In deed

Sounds awesome
I only have 32”, but still much better than (I think) 14” commodore monitor..

Yes 32" is big for Amiga
