New caps for a1200 mobo gives better picture quality?

[bloodline]

I'd put money on the new caps improving signal quality (and let us not forget that Amiga's did have variation in output).

-edit- I suppose one of the accel cards could be messing with the ground signal or something too... Why not swap the boards over and see?

OK so i have taken on people's advice and purchased a scart video lead from amigakit which cost £21 for a 4.8m lead (too long i know but the 1.5m alternative is slightly too short)

So i don't think there is any improvement compared to my previous scart (gold plated)  composite lead.

With my new lead from amigakit everything seems more pixelated.

My tv is a Samsung 8 series 40" LED tv - maybe it is too advanced for this lead from amigakit (The TV cost me £1300 2 years ago! :afro:) I thought these leads were optimised for modern tv's.

Is there some option i need to change on my 1200/tv to give a better picture with this lead otherwise i may aswell go back to my old scart composite as it gives a less pixelated picture

Lol, more pixelated IS better quality the aliasing and blending you get from the poor quality signal on a crapy CRT is actually quite pleasing... I was horrified how bad my old games look on a good quality monitor when compared with a crappy old 15" TV

Ok thanks bloodline, so what's the point of buying these scart video leads (optimised for new tv) if they give a more pixelated picture? Maybe it gives more detail but unlike hd, this detail is worse.

Its not clear to me why ppl buy these scart video leads and then rave about them

As resolutions get higher, you want the pixels to be sharper... But many emulators (WinUAE for example) offer PAL/NTSC, CRT and even scanline emulation to try and more accurately recreate that "authentic experience"(tm)

I've been using proper monitors/LCDs for so long now that when I see te Amiga output on a proper 15" CRT I think it looks fuzzy... Even though it does look "better"...
