Amiga Monitor VS A520
« on: June 16, 2010, 03:49:28 PM »
I have a couple of questions about the amiga a520 and the capabilities of a monitor:

1: I've heard that the a520 doesn't work with all models. Is that true?
2: Is there any advantage to using a real monitor? Can it display more screenmodes?

The reason I ask is that I might be able to get an amiga 1000 monitor for free. However, since I have an a520 I don't know if I can justify picking one up.

What kind of problems does the a520 have with pal/ntsc switching and screenmodes?

So, other than a commodore monitor, there is no way to get pal and ntsc to work on the same setup? I have an a500 with a fatter agnus and ks 1.3. I just don't wan't to take a whole lot of room at this point.

It does both but what about my tv? Will modulate a pal signal to work on an ntsc tv?

Ah well, I asked the guy that was selling it if I could pick it up, but he said its sold.... So guess that answers that. But is there any way I could get a standard ntsc tv to display both?
