Indivision AGA and LCD monitor question(s)
« on: November 22, 2008, 10:31:43 AM »
Hi,

I'm thinking of getting an Indivision AGA for my A1200, but I'm not sure of which resolution LCD monitor to get.

I'd like to be able to run the best possible screen resolution to suit the native resolution of the monitor.

I'm thinking of either 1024x768 (so I can run the excellent HighGFX 1024x768 monitor driver) or a 1280x1024 screen, so I'd be able to use things like DBLPal and PAL Hires-Laced without having the LCD monitor have to struggle with the resolutions and end up with a blurry, crap-looking display.

Would a 1280x1024 screen be able to produce a decent-looking 640x512 Amiga display?

Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with the idea LCD screen to go with an Indivison?

Cheers,

Mike.

Well, not too sure...

I've heard that some LCD tellys just won't work with the Amiga scan-rates.

Are you talking about using an Amiga RGB-SCART cable into the LCD telly?

If you have any more info or (even better!) some pics of such a setup in action that would be great...

Cheers,

Mike.

Looks like a great solution.

How do interlaced modes (ie: PAL Hires Laced) look?

Trouble is locating one of these screens... They look to be a generic/OEM screen... Wonder if they're sold under other names?

Wonder if this would do the trick?

LCD Telly...

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi Moto,

Hey, why not? I'd be looking at around $AU250 for one here and that's for one that may not even work on my A1200!

Cheers,

Mike.

P.S. Why do you look so bored in your avatar/pic? :-)
