How are hooking it up to the LCD?

Composite, RF or RGB Scart?


I am guessing you are using the built in composite video out. Its not very good.

You could do better with something like the s-video adapter that AmigaManiac sells:

Plugs into the RGB out port and provides composite and a very high quality s-video. Far, far better image quality then composite video and close to RGB quality output.

I have a 15" LCD monitor that the colors "flow" on in certain situations when using composite, almost like waves in water.



Same here.

Composite is just a really, really shit video connection.


But, kipper2k @ English Amiga Board is putting the finishing touches on his RGB to Component video encoder:

Perhaps wait for it to be finished and order one from him. Should be vastly superior video quality over composite.

You aught to look into getting a Scart cable. Scart is considered far superiour to Composite regardless of quality and cost.


And what should he plug that Scart cable into?

His LCD doesn't have a Scart connection on it.


Besides Scart is just a connector standard that houses audio, RGB, s-video (luminance and Chrominance) and composite video. Just because a TV does have a Scart connector doesn't actually mean the seperate RGB lines are wired. Its totally possible to have a telly that only accepts s-video or composite over scart. I think some tvs with multiple Scart connectors do it this way. Primary is wired for everything and the additional ones are just composite or s-video.


With that being said, yes, an RGB scart connection would certainly be the best option, if he had it available.
