I know that they are essentially the same. It seems however (from what people online have been saying) that lots of modern ntsc televisions come equipped with the ability adequately project scart. I have 2 modern tvs available which both have scart connections in the back of them. I also have seen mention of an s-video output hack for the 1200.


I didn't know you could get a SCART TV here in Canada. Since your in Canada it would probably be cheaper to get an NTSC 1200 (change it to PAL by holding down two buttons, sort of).

I live in Canada and I get a european Amiga 1200, in fact the motherboard comes sweetly from the UK. It starts as default as beautiful PAL and runs ALL the Amiga app/games and I solved it by getting this beautiful...sexy...sweet color producing, high end quality images with awesome steroe sound Commodore 1084s and my problem is solved.
 
I get to enjoy it fully....yeah baby!!
 
But everytime I turn my machine on I have to keep holding the mouse button to switch from NTSC to PAL and it is not even real PAL is not something I want to do. Even then there is compatibility issue with games as such games are smart enough to want the REAL PAL machine.


I used to have a 1084s until it died a couple of years ago (now have a Dell flat screen). Back in the day (1995) I had hundreds of games, but most were the NTSC versions, I only had a dozen or so that needed to be booted into PAL mode. Now if you download a game you seem to be more likely to get a PAL version.
