Scan doubling solutions?
« on: May 16, 2010, 06:45:01 AM »
I got the amiga to svideo adapter from amigamaniac. Since I had no spare lcd tv with svideo input, I also got an svideo to vga adapter.
 
Kind of a strange solution but it worked nicely. My older dell flatscreen however, was not multi-sync so it wouldn't do the productivity modes at 800x600, which is what I really wanted. Oh well, so pal high res with overscan was something like 720x400 or close to what I wanted anyhow.
 
Looked nice. I planned on getting an lcd flat screen tv with svideo or a better vga monitor so I could get better screen modes.
 
Before I got the better monitor, I think the svideo to vga adapter crapped out on me, at least I think so. Its an annoying little box from asia with a foreign 5 volt power supply but came with an adapter.
 
I may try and get a new 5 volt power adapter... Giggling it didn't help, and punching it didn't go anything.
 
Kind of frustrated, I found an amiga rgb to vga adapter, tried 4 monitors, no go on any of them.
 
So now do I buy another svideo to vga adapter, or will indivision for 1200 be available again soon, or do I just buy an lcd tv with svideo input?

For now, its back to 1084 and good old so low res your eyes hurt.
Can you say BIG really BIG icons?

I would buy that if its sure to work with all 1200 screen modes. 92.00$ and you need to buy a power supply seperately? Thats odd.
 
It dosn't come with a power supply?
 
Amigakit said they would have new indivisions for 1200 in may, guess not.

You mean an amiga rgb to vga adapter? I happen to have on of those here already. I will probably buy one of these when I get some extra cash.
 
If I can get 800x600 productivity screen modes on my dell lcd vga monitor, I'll be so incredibly happy. Of course I'd prefer 1024x768 but I bet with overscan it may be more like 850x630 or something close to that. Good enough for most things. I wish someone would make a 1024x768 driver for these odd external scandoublers and stuff...
