15" TFT Monitor on A1200 AGA
« on: May 14, 2008, 05:43:14 PM »
Hey,

I'm sure I remember someone once saying that *some* 15" TFT monitors can sync down to the scanrates needed to show an Amiga screenmode, can anyone confirm this?

Also where can I find a reliable list of these monitors -- or could you state which monitor you have which works!

If I can't get one of these whats a better display for the Amiga? I possibly don't want to go down the route of an old CRT monitor... is it now possible to get the LCD TV's for a reasonable price? But is the picture quality worse than a "normal" TFT monitor?

Cheers, and thanks for any help!  :-)

Alex.

@Merax

Cool yeah that would be useful... I searched for HICON on ebay  but I couldn't find anything...

Maybe it is part of a larger brand though and I can find an equivalent?

Do you specifically but the monitor knowing it would work?

I've seen a Samsung Syncmaster 15" TFT on ebay... I might buy it and try... as the Syncmaster is usually a brand that works with the RGB -> SVGA... Although thats mainly the CRT's so I'm not sure...

Thanks for the info though!
