VGA adapters for A500? Feasible, desireable?
« on: December 04, 2003, 06:48:09 PM »
I've seen them around on ebay. Are they any good?

I have an NEC-Mitsubishi monitor (19" fully flat CRT) that I would like to run my Amiga 500 into.

How well would this work for games? Is there a preferred model of converter/adapter?

Look, I don't know what the hell I'm talking about :)

I am basically looking for someone to explain to me how I can get my A500 to connect to my 19" flat screen CRT from NEC/Mitsubishi.

I don't know doublers from troublers and adapters from scanners.

I want to play games on this setup, so presumably it has to not mess up the aspect ratio, a subject of which I know nothing about.

If you can help me establish some clueage for myself, I would be greatful :)

Ok, starting to make sense to me.

Can I buy any scan doubler? Can anyone recommend or point me to an example?

I read somewhere that there is this:

Eyetech EZ VGA adapter

Designed for Amigas to go to SVGA, but I cannot find it sold anywhere.
