Hi' all.

I realise that there are quite a few posts about how to get the best signal from your A500/600/1200 etc. to your TV/Monitor. However, I cannot seem to find any, which is exclusively about transferring signal from Amiga to a modern TV, with some sort of HDMI cable.

I can see that amazon and ebay have RGB-to-HDMI cables but the reviews are often VERY bad and I doubt that cables like that will work for Amiga purposes. Or what?

Does anybody have good solid experience on the easiest/cheapest way to get your Amiga out-signal into a HDMI cable and on to the huge and wonderful livingroom TV? :-)

All best,
Anders, Copenhagen.

Hook an Amiga up to any modern TV via it's scart connection (Amiga RGB-Scart Cable) and trust me you will not be disappointed. The A1200 gives a slightly crisper picture than the A600, but it's hardly noticable really. Buy a good quality Amiga RGB-Scart cable though. I got mine from ebay and it wasn't cheap - but there's plenty for sale on there. I think the Amigakit store sell them too.
If you had an A1200, you could buy the IndivisionAGA MkII from Amigakit and then use this adapter and cable made by kipper:

Which basically gives the A1200 a HDMI output socket.

Amigakit store: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/

Kipper also sells a VGA socket to fit in place of the RF Modulator on A600's.... but you'll need an IndivisionECS for that along with the A604 ; which it plugs into which you probably already have anyway.

+1 for the Indivision and the Kipper2K HDMI adapter.  You Europeans and your funny SCART connectors.  :p

Not quite as funny as your Composite Video & S-Video connectors.. :D
