Benq G2020HD - Great monitor for Amiga

[Everblue]

I have received my minimig lately and wanted to play it on a TFT monitor. After quite some searching, I managed to find a monitor which accepts 50hz AND has the option to view the image at its native aspect ratio.

These are my findings with the G2020HD being used with a minimig:

PRO

1. Had no problems to sync at 50hz and gave me a nice crisp picture
2. No blurring!
3. Has option to display in 4:3 as per original aspect
4. Vertical scrolling is perfect (tested with pinball dreams! )

CONS

1. Horizontal scrolling for some reason is not perfect, I can notice a slight tearing effect every 1 cm or so. Its not that bad, after a while you stop noticing it.....  but it would have  been great if it wasnt there (noticed it in Silkworm, Project X)

Maybe someone can tell me why this happens.

To sum it up, I think its hard to find a better TFT monitor than this one.

Update:

I put the pixel clock on the monitor to 0% and now the scrolling is real smooth, and the tearing is gone. I cannot recommend this monitor enough!

thanks for the info :-)

I noticed that most BenQ monitors support 50Hz but I didn't know it kept the proportions

Do you know if any of the new LED monitors made by LG, BenQ and others accept 50Hz?

No idea about the LED :/

Hi,

I never said that use could use it without scandoubler
Minimig has inbuilt scan doubler so it outputs at 31khz....  I havent bothered with interlaced modes (after all I got ithis to play games on) - as for 4:3 there is an option in the monitor.
