1084 CRT = Forget about it, nostalgia reasons only.

Indivision ECS + Latest core + RTG emulation = Drool

It's an amazing upgrade, couldn't get enough of it using it with my A500 plus (well once the two fixes were applied to it). I haven't looked back.

Colours look amazing, and the screen is amazingly clear/crisp. Games look great.

Only reason I don't use it anymore is I have an Indi AGA Mk2 for the 1200 :-)

Well i've seen the mk1 output and its rather nice, i have an mk2 and its great. However, having said this NOTHING BEATS AN RGB MONITOR FOR AMIGA. MOST GAMES AND DEMOS WERE MADE FOR THIS OUTPUT. The color richness, the dot pitch, etc..  (i'm lucky because i Have a 22in Vizio lcd tv and a Sony 20" RGB monitor hooked up to my a1200 so best of both worlds (and i can tell you if i'm watching demos or gaming i look at the rgb monitor but for productivity def the Vizio with HighGfx hi res mode from HDMI)


I actually find the output from the indi's brighter, and the colours more vivid over my 1084.

The clarity playing games on my 24" Dell LCD through the Mk2 is amazing. With the latest core it's on par with the Indivision ECS now.

I did have a high end German (some strange name I can't remember now) CRT 22" TV hooked up with scart and thought that was fantastic over the 1084 but the Indivision ECS I had took it a step better.

Each to their own, the 1084 I'm selling a long with the spring rgb monitor I have here through a local site :-)

Not sure what LCD's people are using, but a good LCD monitor is far better than any CRT/1084 monitor.

No tearing/blur etc, then you have new tech LCD's like LED/OLED and these take it a step further.

a 1080p or higher monitor/TV is amazing. Can't wait for the 4k and 8k tv's later this year/early next year to become more mainstream. The detail and resolution blows 1080p out of the water.

With a decent LCD/Plasma the colours just pop out of the screen, wouldn't go back to a CRT/1084. 24" of LCD goodness is hard to beat.

With the indivision ECS/AGA Mk2 and a decent LCD monitor you'll never go back. Own both of these and I must say the MK2 is now coming along nicely :-)

Don't have any contrast, scaling, motion blur or lag issues with an Indivision ECS/AGA MK2 + 24" Dell monitor or 47" LG TV so not sure what you guys are doing :-)

The colours through the Indi are far better than connecting via SCART or through a 1084 monitor. They are bright and vivid.

It's the best I've seen workbench/whdload gaming.

I had a high end german made crt tv (can't remember the brand now) and I thought that was good at the time but technology moves on :-)
