Sorry to hear that Cammy :(

Here is another option:

I've purchased one & will report back after arrival/testing.

Normaly, you can find in Australia the same monitors than those sold in England or in Europe ?


If you are inferring the possibility of purchasing one with SCART input, then no...I managed to find one after a LONG search (it never worked with Amiga either), but SCART is quite uncommon here :(

Well, as for the Dell one I linked to...

It arrived today & will not accept S-Video via Amigamaniac adaptor or any composite input, be it from native RCA, Amigamaniac adaptor, A520 or DCTV.

So, don't bother :(

Hi Fingers, did you try setting Workbench into Interlace mode and see if it works in your monitor? Some LCD TVs won't accept non-interlaced S-Video signals.


Nah Cammy, but I might try that later.

However, would this then mean that games won't display on it?

No matter though, as at least for now I've swapped it with a TV that works.

Ok, so I gave it a shot with laced screen & it works...even displayed when I ran a WHDLoad installed game...BUT...BIG BUT...the screen cuts out every few seconds.

I don't mean shudders either like those TVs, but it goes completely blank for a second or two, so no good.

So, this monitor is actually fantastic as a display for my Indivisionised A1200 or even the CD32, but useless for anything else :(
