Hi,

I have an Samsung SyncMaster 17" LCD monitor/TV which has an (RGB)SCART connector on the back and I'd like to make up a cable to be able to connect my A1200 up to it (via the RGB port)... It's a UK-spec TV, some I'm hoping to get a decent picture via the SCART input...

I did a Google, but came across a number of variations of Amiga-SCART cables...

Just wondered if anyone (who has/had their Amiga connected to an LCD telly using a SCART cable) could tell me the wiring combination that worked for them?

Cheers,

Mike.


are you sure that your monitor/tv supports analogic RGB+Sync through SCART? mine seems not.

Try to post here the exact model name

That "EXT(RGB)" seems a good yes , indeed! :-)

I have here a LG 19LS4R that doesn't works with the STB in RGB mode (looking now at the monitor/tv schematics)

Edit- just for the record ... after looking at the schematics, even my LG supports RGB over SCART.

Everything pointed in a defective SCART cable (red channel wire knackered) :-)

that 100 ohm resistor to the CSYNC have no sence IMHO.

Secondly, are yours R G B and CSync wires shielded? how long the cable is?

anyway LCD are crap at that low Horizontal frequencies (above all if you have always used CRT in the past)
