so i need a new display solution for my miggy
« on: July 20, 2011, 12:29:58 AM »
PAL amiga, Im in the US. My previous external scan doubler thingie croaked. Neither of our TV's accept PAL as far as I can tell. Neither of my PC monitors accept the amiga tv signal. SCART basically does not exist here.


So what options are recommended?

As far as I can tell there is...


the ambery scan doubler thingie. I've used one of those and they work decently if not great.
Upside is I can buy one right away, downside is its a hundred bucks

Indivision. Twice the cost and not available. Rarely comes up for sale.

Get a PC monitor that actually accepts the amiga signal. Any suggestions here?

Get a TV that accepts PAL input. Any suggestions here?

Various S video adapters.

Anything else?

I am eyeing this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190469541654#ht_2576wt_1192 to see if it'd work.

A 1084 is ideal but they are slowly dying off, and shipping is indeed a pain. A 20 dollar monitor easily becomes a 60 dollar purchase and it might croak in a few months.

Does it work for interlace modes?

From the picture, doesn't look like much, if any ghosting. Do you just connect it to the amiga with the normal component cables?

as an aside, at least my miggy is "up".

Currently have to change to NTSC in the boot menu, its grey scale on a tiny TV (through the composite) and it sucks.

It'll load stuff from the hard drive though it cuts off the bottom of course.

How about ordering a SVHS adaptor from www.amigamaniac.com does NTSC and PAL


I actually shot him an email earlier, to see if he is still doing them.

Am I right in assuming they'd fix my concern of playing a PAL game on an NTSC tv?

unfortunately, SCART is rarely used over here. Thanks for the tv recommendation. I'll keep my eyes open
