Or you can get yourself a nice Indivision and use just about any modern monitor or TV in existence. :lol:

What part of "poor boy" did you miss Mike?
That is an expensive option.


My time is worth more than money. If I can buy a thing for $90 and have it installed and working in 15 minutes, vs. posting questions on forums, buying two or three $20 cables, moving the TV, plugging them in, unplugging, pushing buttons and trying different settings, going back and reading more forums, etc., etc.

TL;DR. If I can buy a thing that "just works" verses di**ing around for two or three hours trying to kludge together a poorer quality solution, I consider myself having saved money.

I have also found that in the amiga world..."poor" equals I don't want to spend MY money.

LOL.  Ain't that the truth.  I've reached the age in my life where I have more money than time, and will gladly spend it on things that I enjoy.  Amiga is not a cheap hobby.  Go build houses out of popsicle sticks or something, if you want a cheap hobby.  :laughing:

Okay, come to a SACC meeting, I will give you a monitor!


I've given away about five of them over the years. You can't sell 'em, since there's almost a 100% chance of them getting damaged in shipment. So unless you can find someone who wants them locally they're about as useful as a doorstop, lol. ;)
