RGB to VGA 15 kHz Scan Converter
« on: July 01, 2008, 09:02:29 PM »
Hello,

Just wanted to let people know of this relatively low cost Scan converter that is advertised to work with the Amiga. It is suppose to enable the RGB signal to view on a flat panel monitor at various resolutions.

Link here:

Alexh was right.

Received  the AV-1 Scaler/Converter and I just don't recommend it. It does not hold with the interlace modes. If you change screen modes the interlace flicker fixer just shows 1 field.  Not 24 Bit as advertised either. Some colors have dither patterns.

It only holds interlace at first bootup. Not usable in my book.
I have to  return it.

Getting an ideal monitor may be the answer.
I have a SVHS to VGA converter solution that looks better & holds interlace.
I'm using a Dell 14" LCD with an A4000T.

That may be the case. AGA woes.
The 640 x 200 mode was fine as I expect the
320 x 200 OK too.

I specifically had an issue with 640 x 400 interlace
that would not hold when going from workbench to
DPaint. When I returned to workbench the text was unreadable.
I may have had a bad unit too.
