I can't understand how anyone who owns the rights to this Amiga computer can go on doing business without addressing the video resolution problem.  They leave it up to 3rd. parties but no one is interested in it.

Amiga needs a scandoubler, Flicker Fixer. A real one that works with all of the different hardware.  We need a way of using modern resolution monitors.  The 15 Khz resolution made for television was a different kind of idea at the time.  But now its really getting old.  We feel it because our monitors are really starting to show their age.  We need a solution.

Software hut www.softhut.com had a solution called Toastscan.  But they are not being made anymore.  Software hut was trying to find someone to build them a new device to sell.  Maybe you can contact them and they will turn you on to some business, if you have the talent required to build the thing.

There were some devices, made to convert RGB to VGA for Game consoles. Check this one out- http://www.tiptonium.com/videogames/reviews/other/XRGB2.htm

How about this one,

or this one,

Then there is something called scart over in Europe.  We don't see much of it here in the US, but some have reportedly had success using the input of a scart connector on new TV sets.  Not quite SVGA resolution, but as good as some of our old monitors. No solution to flicker at some resolutions.

Amiga users were using them to circumvent the signal.  None did the complete job all the time to my knowledge.  I hope someone can prove me wrong and give us a solution.
