I was using a Commodore 1084S D-2 until about 1 month ago.

Then got a scan doubler and was using a 17" CRT SVGA monitor

Now i got an LG 20" LCD TV. Amiga is connected via Scart (no scandoubler) and gives a great display. Though interlaced modes still flicker.

European users has a better situation tha US users, because of SCART connector wich is widely used standard here in Europe.

Any LCD TV work just fine with scart and has a solid rock flicker free picture with it. No need to have scandoubler or flickerfixers.

I've Samsung 19" LCD TV, I've connecter two amigas to it, my number one systen is connected via VGA and Compostie connector and second through scart.


My 20" LCD TV with SCART still flickers during interlaced screens (eg: workbench interlaced, Team17 logo etc..)

Everything else works fine.

Maybe this is more to do with it being an LG tv than anything else :roflmao:
 
I've got a Samsung 40" led tv and Samsung 32" lcd and both give crystal clear images via scart. :)
 
Although for reasons i can't explain i get a minimal buzzing noise on WB on my 40" led although this might just be due to the corresponding Samsung surround sound system?! Doesn't affect any games that are loaded up - maybe its just the over sensitivity of my set-up? :)


My LCD display is crystal clear too, just the interlaced modes still flicker. I tried my Amiga on my Toshiba 32" telly and it was flicker free. I guess the LG has no de-interlacer or whatever.

Here is my monitor/tv setup. LG 20" LCD TV via SCART.

The display is actually much better in real life then it looks in the pics. Since i took the pics i have adjusted the brightness and set the overscan.
