Forgive my ignorance, but what would I gain by having NTSC A1200? I assume it would allow me to connect the composit video output to NTSC TV. Is there anything else I would gain to potentially get better S-video or VGA connectivity to NTSC screens? Are there any disadvantages of having NTSC Amiga. Will I be able to play PAL games? If I have to switch to PAL to play Pal games, what have I gained by buying NTSC Amiga. These are honest questions, I really don't know.
Thank you.
It's my opinion that you should just get a NTSC unit if you can. For one, it will be compatible with all American TVs/LCDs and such and will boot to NTSC by default, saving you the hassles to having to switch to NTSC to boot the damn thing. Also a lot of games will boot and run on a NTSC system, even PAL games! Yes sometimes you lose about an inch of display at the bottom but it does boot and even runs faster! Most PAL games infact use a NTSC screen anyway and don't take advantage of the higher resolution leaving a gap at the bottom! (Chaos Engine AGA) But of course there are a few PAL games that *REQUIRE* you boot to a PAL Mode to even run or display correctly. For those you simply have to use a PAL display. But like I said, unlike what others will have you believe, that is the exception not the rule!
