Generally anything should be OK, though the Scan Magic has been reported to be a little fussy with certain LCDs. 50Hz (PAL) may be a problem with many LCDs.


I could always select ntsc i guess

I paid 32 UK pounds including postage .. :)

Quite a bargain i think

Most TFTs have problems displaying 50 Hz, although you can find some which will do nicely. CRTs give a much better picture with the Scanmagic.

I used a Scanmagic SD/FF before I replaced it with an Indivision 1200. The Indivision has no problems at all with TFTs, as it is easily capable of 60 Hz or more in all resolutions.

Anyway, the Scanmagic is a good card and performs admirably.


Cant wait for it to arrive .... I really would like to use a TFT , but if i cant at least i can still have a nicer display using a CRT than i would have using my 1084S
