Hi

My 1084S is getting on in years, so I've bought an LCD PC monitor, a CGA/EGA/YUV to VGA converter board, and a decent 5V power supply.  I have 3 x Amiga to VGA converters for testing.  

I've read on the forum that there's little work involved other than maybe a little adjustment on the onboard POTs for colour. The board to the LCD monitor works perfectly, and I've selected an English-language menu.

Only problem is I can't get a stable picture from my A1200, in high-res NTSC or PAL.  All I get is a rolling display, which drops to a green screen.  Is there anything I can do, or have I scored a faulty board?

:(

Hard to help you when you don't provide specifics on which hardware you are using.  Which LCD monitor make and model number are you trying to use?  What Amiga to VGA converters are you trying to use?  What is this CGA/EGA/YUV to VGA converter you have purchased and how is it connected to your Amiga?

This is a very common thread topic and there are probably literally hundreds of threads and posts on this topic over the years that you could search through on this site and other Amiga websites.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
