I love my Indivision ECS. With a longer cable (from kipper2k) and some dremeling I've got mine exiting out underneath my floppy drive (like how A1200 users do with the knock-out port), and with the 1.10 firmware update I can do a rock-solid 800x600x16 color Workbench on my 37" LCD. 50hz/60hz no issues, and only very, very infrequently do I ever notice any scrolling issues. Frankly I don't even know why this question even comes up anymore, unless you're some kind of hardware purist the Indivision is about a bazillion times better and more modern than some creaky old CRT. ;)  It's like night and day, and for only $100 one of the most reasonably priced Amiga upgrades available.

I don't have an ECS, but I do have an AGA MK2 and the scan-line emulation looks great.

maybe someone could comment on if the ECS supports that.

I'm hardcore too, but not hardcore enough to tolerate interlace mode or floppy drives.

It does.  I tried it on mine, and turned it off again just as quick.  Didn't care for scanlines in 1991, care for them even less now, on a 37" LCD.  ;)

Ah you guys.  What's really funny is when you see kids these days, who've never seen a tube TV before, and you show them one and they go "What's that thing sticking off the back of the TV?!"  ;-)

On that note, anyone in the Washington, DC, area need a 1084S-D1?  It has it's front panel and all cables, and works fine with the exception of the push-button on the back not staying in (a pretty common problem), there's all sorts of ways to fix that just I haven't bothered since I don't use it anymore, LOL.  Am kind of tempted to keep it for nostalgia reasons, but I don't really have a lot of space and am not using it, so PM me an offer?
