Getting better picture with A1200 (at low cost)
« on: July 31, 2009, 03:46:28 AM »
Hi,

I just decided to try my Amiga on interlaced 640x512 through composite video on my LCD TV, which looks far better than it did on my CRT (less flicker), though the flicker is still noticeable and the actual screen quality is quite unclear. (The quality could also be better in non-interlaced and low-resolution modes) Since I use my Amiga a lot for DPaint and the like, I'm really hoping to rectify this.

I saw a RGB SCART cable on eBay for the Amiga. As far as I know, my TV is capable of doing RGB SCART, so I'm considering getting this, but would it actually make a great difference over the current picture quality?

Also, are there any other ways to noticeably improve picture quality over standard composite, and/or reduce flicker in interlaced modes, without having to pay eg over £100 for a scandoubler/flickerfixer/etc and VGA cables? Also, if I were to get a monitor (multiscan?), what sort of monitor should I be looking for?
