Has anyone tried on of these on thier Amiga?

All true, but there are a few levels to the question..
Are they great devices?
As answered above, no.  You will lose some colors and you loose something in the PAL transition..
The other side of that question is how well do they work other than that?
Yes, you lose color, but how badly?
Yes, you lose smooth scrolling in PAL conversion, but you can use PAL games then?
They might still be worth it depending on what someone is looking for..

Personally, at that price tho, I doubt it..
With those short-comings, I'd still be very tempted at $50 or so...  Just to have them..

I went with an Amigamaniac SVIDEO adapter, and then an SVIDEO to VGA adapter.
Unfortunatly, the model of SVIDEO to VGA adapter I bought was bad, but there are good ones out there, and the results are pretty good I think.  Still not Indivision, but.. nothing is at that price..

And for all of that, I then got a few 1084S monitors, which I'm very happy with.

Go figure.. ;-)

You see the banding? Perhaps you'd never notice it? I would.

I can see the difference, but I'm not sure it would bother me too much.
I remember using my Amiga with an A520 composite adapter...  ;-)

But for $34 you can use a different one which is 24-bit!

Yes, that would be MUCH better!!!  :-)

True to a point, but keep in mind that even if only (for example) 3 shades of red are used, the chances are that even the loss of one of them can look real bad. .

But as I understand it, you loose 1 of those three shades, it won't disappear.  It will be replaced by a shade that is "close" in the 16-bit range...
Is that likely something that will be noticed a lot?
I think it depends on the viewer and what's happening.  With photographs, more so..
With games, probably not as much...

Now, 24-bit is better, but 16 is no slouch..  :-)

IMHO

Case in point:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth
They don't even have a 16-bit pic, the the 8-bit pic looks very similar to the 24-bit pic to me..
Now, when I look, I can see the difference, but at first glance, not so much..

These boxes need you to pull RGB and sync from your 23pin video out...

Depends on how good you are at soldering...
It's something I could do, so I'd classify it as easy, but not simple.  ;-)

I am NOT any good with a soldering iron, but I can attach wires to things.
