It doesnt work with DVI-D only Monitors as 99% of them dont support HDCP - they only work with HDMI equipped monitors.

.


Are you 100% sure about this? I was going to get a scart cable and hdmi converter to use with an older Dell DVI monitor with dvi to hdmi adaptor. (It doesnt have hdmi inputs or component just vga and dvi)

Yes you are right most all those converters do PAL and NTSC. One of the reasons I want one is the monitor I use with my amigas is DVI only and wont display pal on the analogue inputs only NTSC. I have another vizio monitor that has HDMI but displays both PAL and NTSC modes though only through AV composite in (and its flicker fixed!)

If you're not sure if your TV will support the component signal from the scart to component adapter, try plugged the composite output from the Amiga into the GREEN component socket, and see if it displays a black and white picture ;)

Although I'm not 100% sure this will show if the TV doesn't work, as all my TV's displayed the scart to component from the Amiga just fine.


On my vizio 22" lcd tv I use the Green on the Component input section on the back of the tv and select "AV" mode. This gives full colour and works in both PAL and NTSC interlaced and non and also Flicker Fixes the image!

My results are much the same as magnetic's. I see a rock-solid monochromatic image, in the correct aspect-ratio as well! The TV reports it as 480i.  :)

Unfortunately, when I switch to PAL mode, the screen goes blank.   :(

I will test an interlaced screen when I get my WB 3.1 booted up again.


I get full colour output on both pal and ntsc though the ntsc picture is better the PAL is a little "fuzzy" but still looks good
