Samsung SyncMaster 711r
« on: September 29, 2012, 09:19:41 PM »
EDIT: This is a Samsung SyncMaster 711T  NOT "R". Sorry for the typo!

Just to give you all a heads up. This monitor can display with only a VGA adaptor. In laced mode the screen does flicker, but over all the screen still looks better than on my 1084s, a LOT better.

They are cheap on Ebay. I just got a used one shipped for  just under $40 total!

Will be testing with the Indivision MKII very soon. I presume the picture will just be sharper without flicker with that. Amazing!

bummer... I've only seen it work right on the DVI or HDMI and they were both samsung.

you could try the other frequency cores...



Bummer?!? It works great! And I don't even have the Indivision AGA 1200 MK2 installed yet! :)

Oh, you mean it displays in 15HZ mode? that is indeed good. Is it batter than the Dell?

I thought you meant it worked with the Indivision only with the VGA, and not DVI (winch is common) ...

No, works like a charm, better than my Dell did in fact, but without the wide screen naturally.

This does have DVI too though so the MKII will be used with it for sure when it arrives! :)

Here's a couple of crappy photos taken with my iPod. They do not do it any justice, it looks VERY CLEAR actually, even in laced mode. I have learned from this. NEVER display a classic Amiga on a wide screen monitor. Save money and buy this.

Dunno if you saw my other post, but my MKII came in the mail today and I forgot to order a DVI cable, so to hold me over I used the VGA adapter and what do you know, the display looks even better. No flicker, bright, and the icons are sharp!!!!!

Should look even better with DVI.

Again, at under $40 shipped, you can not got wrong with this monitor, MKII or not!

I'm not so sad that I destroyed my Dell wide screen now. :)

Just to get this clear: Does it display 15khz modes WITHOUT an indivision? i.e. straight from the amiga's rgb port with the adapter?

Can you show some games? What resolutions (Horizontal x vertical pixels) have you tried?

It looks like a great find!

I am in the middle of installing OS 3.9 and figuring out my patches. As soon as I get my system re-stabalized I'll take some photos and maybe even make a video.

In the mean time, yes, this monitor displays standard modes without an Indivision or any sort of Flicker Fixer for that matter.

I have tried it only with the 6 standard modes that come with WorkBench 3.1. All of them worked, but medium laced was about as high as I could go without sacrificing a sharp picture...

...pretty much the same as on a 1084s, but with a little less flicker, and a lot easier to read.

Here is a shot in 640x400 (interlaced), with the MKII.

Inspired by this thread I thought I'd give my SyncMaster 710t a shot (thinking it might have same panel and electronics). But unfortunately it didn't sync down to 15khz (although it displays 31khz/50hz modes very nicely through VGA, something my LCD TV has problems with).



A shame. Well now we know. Though I"m sure it shines with the MKII right?

I have only tried it with the Indivision Mk1, and I must say I didn't like the scaling. Could probably have tweaked it a bit more to better fit the native resolution of the display though.



I had to mess around a bit, but in the end I was able to get the Overscan to pretty well stretch across the entire screen.

BBlank of course hides those small slivers well. :)

And this first on is without the MKII: NO MKII 640x400 NTSC Interlaced


And the second image is with the MKII: MKII 724x566 PAL Interlaced


Naturally you can not see the screen flicker so it is slightly hard to tell the difference...

...which is a good thing, this monitor displays pretty sharp without the MKII, though having the MKII makes the screen brighter and makes it a LOT easier to get the perfect crisp image where as you would have to play with Overscan and the monitor settings a lot without it.
