Has anyone tried on of these on thier Amiga?

If I had money for every time someone posted about them I'd be rich.

They are shite. They are only 16-bit which means you loose colours in AGA. They promote PAL screens to 60Hz which means that you loose smooth scrolling.

There are better, cheaper alternatives out there.

24-bit and known to work well with classic computers.

Yes, you lose color, but how badly?

Look at the 2 images below. The first one is 24-bit, the second 16-bit. You see the banding? Perhaps you'd never notice it? I would.

Yes, you lose smooth scrolling in PAL conversion, but you can use PAL games then?

Sure but they look rubbish.

With those short-comings, I'd still be very tempted at $50 or so...  Just to have them..

But for $34 you can use a different one which is 24-bit!

This is just an extreme representation.

You don't "loose" colours, they round to their nearest neighbouring colour. AGA only has 256 palette entries. It is unlikely that games will choose all 256 entries to be shades of red for example.

But if they did, subtle shades are lost through rounding errors and are displayed as their nearest neighbour.

Meaning what? Impossible? Difficult? Easy?

Easy. Simple wired cable
