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
