AMIGA to VGA adaptor to HDMI/VGA adaptor lead question
« on: December 11, 2013, 11:24:48 AM »
So if I wanted experiment with the double scan video modes on my A1200 could I use an adaptor on my Amiga video port to VGA converter and then plug in a VGA to HDMI cable and use the 30khz screen modes on my 1080p Plasma TV say?

It shouldn't degrade the signal too much and it should work right? Certainly should work with a standard DVI PC monitor too right?

Ahhh I should have said I am going to buy the TV now so assumed they wouldn't have VGA or DVI connectors as even PC graphics cards now come with HDMI ports so they probably just double the HDMI connectors on maybe.

I didn't know there was a cable lol I will check it out cheers :)

I'll most likely use a plasma if I can because I like the picture on new 1080p plasma panels for movies. LCD colouring looks as natural as an old IBM laptop to me in comparison to plasma.

So bearing in mind only plasma panels made in the last 12 months are worth considering I will likely be stuck with whatever new models are around now.

The ideal solution was a panel before HD TV era that did 1280x1024 which is an exact multiple of 320x256 and 640x512 ie full screen PAL Amiga modes so that should be the best solution for newer screen technologies.

I bet everything will still look nicer on my 36" Panasonic CRT TV ;)
