Is there any adapter for an LCD monitor to accept scart?


iirc, its easy to build VGA<->SCART adapter, but that won't help if LCD can't multisync

And where are you guys getting SCART from Amiga in the first place. My RGB adapter only outputs to S-Video and basic RCA.


just what do you mean by SCART? it can be RGB, composite, s-video, YPbPr:

Amiga video port has RGB, and you can 'build' other types of signal from it.

I'm just saying that my RGB adapter that I bought off AMiga Maniac does not have the SCART feature, yet when ever I read about people using their Amiga's on Flat Screen TV's they are always connecting with SCART.

Is there an adapter I would need to build for my RGB adapter then? I'm confused.


no, they are connecting SCART directly to Amiga video port:

Scart is quite common in Europe but not in North America or Australia, which is why many of us must use these RGB-S-Video adapters rather than RGB-Scart. Hopefully AmigaManiac will have new stock online soon if anyone wants one.


if they have VGA input, its worth trying to connect to it instead of missing SCART RGB.
there shouldn't be much difference, its just like connecting C=1084 monitor.
 
iirc, someone here had luck with such LCD TV.
