Using an Archimedes Monitor on an Amiga

[skilgannon]

Hi All,

My Microvitec monitor has stopped displaying a picture from my A1200 - was on it's way out - now it has gone

Finding a replacement monitor is proving tough.  I have an opportunity to use an Acorn Monitor that comes with an Archimedes 3000 but don't want to buy it on the off chance that it will work.

Can anyone advise if the A3000's monitor will work on my A1200 please?

Thanks all!

Thanks for that.  I have asked for the model number from the person selling it.  My hope was that it was a Philips (was also hoping it would have been a multiscan but that was a long shot).

Thanks

Hi there - eventually got feedback. The monitor is a genuine Acorn monitor and on the back has the following:

28-AKF17 0123750
Nr TV009132

Pretty non descript I know - but what do you think - is there a good chance this will work with the Amiga?

Cheers

John

Thanks Very much guys - much appreciated.  I have ordered it up (comes with an Archie 3000 so if anyone wants that...)

One final question if you dont mind.  The Acorn monitor won't be as High resolution as my 15" Microvitec will it?  It's basically just an RGB TV isnt it?  Just wondering - any display is better than no display

thanks again for all your help

John
