Trying to get my Amiga(s) to display

[runequester]

Hey guys,

Getting back in to my Amiga after over a decade being away.

I went on an ebay rampage and bought an A1200, A3000 and XRGB-2 convertor.

I tried the SCART route w/Euro to Japan connector, but my Sony can't display the resolution output by the XRGB-2, from what I can tell.

I can get a clean signal going straight to PC input from the A3000 for the desktop, but so far no games I've loaded up will display. I've read elsewhere that's because the workbench displays differently, but am unclear on just what the difference is.

Any help on what sort of monitor or LCD to pick up would be awesome. Thanks!

The 3000 should work fine with the scan doubler. Does it have any sort of RTG card?

I use a simple external scan doubler for my 1200 as well as a normal PC monitor.

Its not perfect, but it works rather well, except for interlace modes

How well does that scandoubler work? Can it do productivity modes?
800x600x256 colors?

Most people said its very flaky, is this true or not?

Not sure what you mean by flaky. Its pretty good but not amazing. You do get a tiny amount of ghosting but its not very noticeable at all.

I havent tried productivity mode, but I can check it out once we unpack everything after moving. I usually just use the PAL hi res mode.
