I have that exact model scepter currently(typing on this amiga 4k/mediator thats hooked to it here).
it does not sync to 15khz.


I also bought one, used, because of the 15KHz spec I found on-line.  Sadly, mechy is correct, it does not sync to direct Amiga RGB video output.  :boohoo:

Don't believe everything you read.

I will not get another monitor until someone actually gets that model working on an Amiga, but if everyone does this, it makes for a chicken and egg problem.

I've a simple solution, buy a Samsung Syncmaster 2023MW.
It has the following connectors: HDMI, DVI-D, VGA AND RGB, S-Video, composite video, component video.


But have you seen the Syncmaster sync to 15KHz horizontal input from the RGB connector?

15khz is the normal PAL and NTSC frequency, so yes it would function since on the Samsung you can connect a dvd player or vcr to it.


DVD players and VCR's do not have RGB outputs, that is why I asked if you had actually seen it sync up to an Amiga RGB output. The PAL and NTSC comp and s-video inputs may be internally scan-doubled, but not the RGB input.

In my country dvd players and vcr's do have rgb outputs, they are called SCART connectors but they output RGB signals. Since the Amiga outputs RGB all you'd need is a Amiga to scart cable. I realized too late you're located in the USA, so you might need to find a USA model with the same specifications.
In theory, any LCD TV should work, and PC LCD monitors with a tuner build in (so called hybrid monitors).


Cool, looks like your standard video gear uses RGB and is much higher quality than what we have over here! Unfortunately, they don't seem to send the good stuff here - I've never seen anything supporting inputs like that or even seen any ads. Friends here using LCD's on an Amiga either have to use the comp/s-video input which looks as crappy as it always has on CRT's, or use a legacy scandoubler for the VGA input.
