SCART Video Quality on LCD Monitor
« on: July 17, 2006, 04:46:16 PM »
I've been running my A1200 on a Samung 19" LCD (940mw) for about three weeks now via the RGB SCART connection.  The image via the SCART is pretty good (blows away composite, it also deinterlaces).  Graphics look very good, but I'm not happy with screen text.  I'm trying to determine if this is an issue with my cable or the image processing hardware in the LCD.

Basically, all text and other fine details have what I call a "halo".  For example, a black letter on a gray background will have a white/light gray outline.  This makes the text apper to glow. It's really annoying.  I've tried adjusting contrast, brightness, etc. but the glow is always there.  I don't see the same issue when using the composite or VGA input.

Any ideas?  I though SCART RGB would be very close to the same quality I had with my 1084s. It's hard for me to test the LCD on another piece of electronics since nothing in the US has SCART output.

I suspect my cable since it feels pretty cheap.  Can someone recommend a dealer where I can buy a high quality SCART lead for the Amiga?
