Hi there Mingle, a couple of links and some snapshots.

I use the Samsung SM2032MW with an RGB-SCART cable for my a1200, works a charm.

Take care,

The resistors are on the correct pins. It's a commercially built RGB SCART cable that I have successfully made replicas of for use on my other Amigas.

If you require any further information, Mingle, just let me know. I do recommend making one of these cables to compliment your LCD's clarity.

Well for the price of you not knowing what you're doing and resulting in costly damage to your equipment, I'd strongly recommend you simply purchase the cable for a mere £15.

I think from a purists point of view you could argue some extremely mild ghosting. But I think you need to keep in mind that the Amiga's RGB is very basic and that you are using an LCD TV as a monitor.

I don't really understand what absolute level of clarity you're hoping to achieve given the combination of equipment. It's not as though you've plugged some Nvidia Geforce effort into a High Def LCD monitor.

You may also experience a "rastering" line effect on motion, IE: mouse movement or scroller.

Have any of you other dweebs actually posted any valid schematics or comments? No, simple hypothised theories.
Just posting for the sake of incrementing your babble points counters. - heh. That's gonna go down really well - lol.

Excellent, delivered the facts with no nonsensical drivel unlike the other pretentious postings to this thread.

Praise be to me, thanks to the Lord for blessing me with superior intelligence.  :lol:
