Monitors
« on: March 18, 2005, 04:23:06 PM »
Hi, I hope someone can help. I've always used my Amiga with a television but now that I'm starting to upgrade my hardware (and the fact that the TVs dying)I want to get a monitor. The problem is this. What monitors can I use?

I've seen a few Amiga monitors on EBay but will they display the higher screen modes without flickering? Would a standard Amiga monitor (i.e the 8833 Phillips) support all the A1200 screen modes? Would it require something along the lines of the flickerfixer cards that I think the A2000 had.

Also I see lots of auctions for VGA and SVGA adaptors. These look cool but I've read that they can't support native Amiga screenmodes without a scandoubler.

Basically I want a monitor that can support all Amiga screenmodes so I can have a nice roomy workbench, whilst still being able to play games.

Cool, thankyou. I'll stick away from older models. Would I experience any difficulties with running games with a SVGA monitor? I mean ones that don't load through workbench. I've also never seen a scandoubler on EBay, would a multisync monitor comfortably support all screenmodes?
