PC still playing Amiga catchup

Try playing an MP3 or stream net radio on your A1200, and simultaneously use a web browser, or do something disk related/open drawers. Anything that requires a large chunk of CPU will slow it right down.

Hi,

@Damion.

I do it every day on my A1200, have no problems at all, As a matter of fact the other day I had my A1200 on playing mp3, was surfing the web and backing up the hard drive using DM2 with lharc and had a window open viewing pictures that I had just taken with my cannon camera.

Do you know how to use a A1200

Even an average CRT can still outdo LCD in many areas. I still use a lovely 32" Philips CRT without HD and I find it nicer to watch most things with than most LCD panels. Don't get me wrong, the image from a good 1080 LCD and a PS3 is incredible! But LCDs constantly disappoint me in the low light or high contrast areas compared to a decent CRT, which probably cost about half as much.

Hi,

Go to this site if you want to find out which OS rules, it is a great site and the person reviewing the OS's hit the nail right on the head.

Hi,

@bloodline,

excuse me, I will take my 3.1 operating system and load it into my old, slow, obsolete Amiga 4000 faster than you could load your Apple, Linux, or Windows whatever operating system. So there take that, stick that in your floppy disk (oops you don't have one) and smoke it. And I heard your music and don't like it anyway, even if you do have a small recording studio, the Amiga beats you there too, it has big equipment for big good recordings, but then what do you expect out of a Mac except a lot of noise.

Hi,

I would like to recognize Wayne and Bloodline for not being trolled into any of my rants and raves, Wayne you can take a lot of hits and I think that is fantastic.

Bloodline, couldn't troll you into anything either, I like your music as different as I think it is, it is very good.

Had to clear this up, just trying to get a hit to see what you would think.

anyhow Gentlemen, good going, I had to clear this up and you both spoiled my fun

Hi,

Then what are you doing here?

Oooh, I always wanted a HD CRT! What model is it?? Could only find one on sale in Ireland when I went looking, and it wasn't great. I'm still gutted the whole world went with LCD seemingly to do with fashion rather than quality. I still have a lovely Trinitron monitor for my computer and a (non-HD) Philips CRT TV.

As for the artifacts, it's not just the responsiveness of LCD panels, a large part of it is simply the compression used by the digital broadcaster. It's like what you see when you watch a YouTube video for example, fast changing lines don't survive the compression particularly well. This will also show up on a full 1080p panel with a 1080p source if it's to do with compression. And HDTV signals tend to be compressed like that, so even with a full-HD decoder and a full-HD TV, you'll get more artifacts on channels which use more compression.

Hi,

I have a Sony Braveria, 52 inch HDTV, that runs at 60 hz or 120 hz, looks mighty nice to me and I haven't noticed what you are talking about. Maybe it just because I am half blind.
