Just read a terrible review of that dell monitor - i wonder if there is a newer led backlit monitor that has both good reviews and works on the amiga.

Im not a monitor guru or anything but I dont see why it would get bad reviews. Seems perfectly fine to me.


This is the review http://www.pcmonitors.org/monitor-reviews/dell-st2320l

It wasn't the refresh speed I was so worried about but the other stuff, like the contrast ratio, and colour. I've seen some other reviews that are more positive however. Please could you make some photos with the Amiga in lowres and hires and laced? I've recently had a bunch of 1084's die on me, so need a replacement screen or two.

Once my son takes a nap today sure.

The only thing I have is a crappy cell phone camera but hopefully it'll do the trick :)


And yeah, I had thought about the 1084, but between shipping cost and the fact they are 20+ year old CRT's, I didn't feel it was a viable option.

thanks :)

agreed, they are not - unless you are happy to re-cap them etc, they probably are all terminally ill.

Just to test, I plugged my a500 into my BENQ bl2400pt monitor - and it worked, but not perfectly. some vertical bands visible on solid colour (looked like scaling related.), and wasn't able to switch to 4:3 aspect - although it might be possible to manually resize to that.

ive had a fiddle with my bl2400pt again. Seems impossible to change the aspect ratio (locked). I think the pixel clock setting did improve the lines on this monitor too. Shame the aspect is locked. I'm assuming aspect ratio isnt a problem on the 2320 ? also has anyone tried the st2420l ?
