using those tiny little LCD screens as monitors...

[SamOS39]

Hey people!
Firstly my appologies for being away from this site for so long. I feel like ive missed a lot!

Anyways i make music on my A1200 and i do live shows too!

When i gig i like to do everything live off the amiga and the only problems ive really ever had is finding something to use as a monitor..

ive been looking at these mini LCD screens on ebay and was wondering if anybody tried them out ..
it would be awsome to make some sort of modification to mount in onto the case.

i was looking at this one in particular:

would this work?

cheers

yeah, my 1200 has a built in scan doubler so if theres any VGA monitors of a similar size you'd recomend then that would be good.

im going to be running OctaMED v4 and the res is fairly low on that software so as long as i can make out text on the screen etc thats fine

yeah cheers!

@Selles
Soundtracker, Noisetracker and Protracker all suck though

but yeah the fact that they are so small and light weight is why im interested..

@freqmax
i bought an IBM 10" cashier monitor a couple years ago but it was a nightmare to use!
even though it was connected via scandoubler it required a really wierd screen mode to work ... cant remember what screen mode it was but the amiga didnt like it!
after about an hour you start getting glitches of the screen and the screen turns black every 2-3 seconds and then comes back again.. not very fun when youve got the sampler on a loop and your trying to load the next track at a show

the monitor works fine on my XP desktop machine..

@motorollin

its a long story. the board inside my A1200 used to be inside a EZ tower which i had to sell at the time..

i never fitted the scan doubler and i didnt want to attept to remove it .. i dont even know if it can be removed ..

besides i got it plugged into a VGA tube at the moment and the picture is crystal clear!
