Can an Amiga display HDTV resolutions and out put to component video?

1) I don't think so, although you could try the Euro36 monitor which gives a more stable resolution but with less space than PAL (640x200/400 instead of 640x256/512) on for example 1084 monitors.

2) You can hook the RGB out to a Scart female, and you can buy pre-made cables from www.ggsdata.se (At the bottom of this page, Scart "Amiga RGB -> Scart (TV)."  130:- (around €13). I used this for a long time with my old A1200 before getting a C= 1942.

2: Standard Amiga to Scart cable? Sold with all 1084 monitors?

Are you sure you're not thinking about the old Philips monitors? IIRC, the 1084 series had it's own connector.

Yikes, no SCART in North America? That was completely new to me... SCART is very common on TVs in Sweden nowadays.

About the 1084 SCART thing, is the picture quality on those monitors better, worse or the same as on the ones with other connectors? IIRC my old 1084 had a 9-pin connector but I might be wrong here...

@olegil
Ok, I thought that SCART cables were of lesser quality than the 9-pin connectors. My bad :-)

@lempkee
Yeah, now that you say so it was a 1084s I had. That explains it.
