Amiga 1200 to VGA
« on: August 26, 2012, 06:46:19 PM »
Hello all!

What kind of converter do I need to connect my 1200 to VGA input?
My Amiga has been in a box to long now, and if there are any way to hook it up to my LCD TV it would be awesome.. the old monitor does not work that well :/


Cheers!

Well then, seems there are some advantages to Europe after all haha.
Excellent... my LCD TV has scart connector.

Does Amigakit have any scart cables that would do the trick?

But that cable you found is the same i use in my 43 inch plasma and it works fine :)


In deed :)

Sounds awesome :)
I only have 32”, but still much better than (I think) 14” commodore monitor..

Haha, you know whenever you hear the name 'Rush Limbaugh' it never seems to be associated with anything good :P

But okay, I get the picture
