Monitor required.

[Ral-Clan]

I gave my Magnavox to my mom and  she just threw it away rather than give it back to me.  I went to the courthouse and Disowned my mother and have never spoken to her since.

You are kidding, right?

I contacted the retailer concerning that above mentioned monitor. They informed me it would not be suitable for the Amiga, as it would not be compatible for the OS on the Amiga. Thank you anyway, and hey people, i am still lookinf for a monitor

I would do your own research on this.  A lot of "tech support staff" for companies are fairly useless when it comes to Amiga questions.  They haven't a clue what an Amiga is and just give an automatic answer of "unsupported".  Study the monitors specs and determine if its compatible for yourself.

Besides, Amiga "OS" has little to do with whether or not the monitor is supported.  If the monitor supports standard PAL / NTSC scan rates, then it should work, provided you are using the correct connectors.

This may well be the final question on this matter, so if there is someone who really is into the tech stuff regarding the Amiga and it`s compatible monitor/s. i would be grateful:
Will a 60 Hertz t.v work with the Amiga 1200?

Assuming that by 60Hz, you mean NTSC, then yes, it normally would, using the A1200's composite output connector.  Not as sharp as a real RGB monitor, but good enough for games.

BUT....haven't you got a PAL Amiga that you dragged over from the UK?  In that case, I'm not sure, as the composite output might only be in PAL format (50Hz).  I know the Amiga can output PAL / NTSC on its RGB port, but I'm not sure if the composite connector is switchable (I don't have an A1200).
