Definately the perfect "budget" monitor for Amiga's with no scandoubler, even better if you also have a bvision.


And perfect for morons like me that have a 1084S and a 14" SVGA monitor stacked ontop of an A4000  :crazy:
Ta for the info, the ancient SVGA monitor might have an 'accident' this week :evilgrin:
On schedule, and suing

Actually, you only have to buy a TV License if the equipment you are buying contains a tuner. If it's just a SCART and VGA input, then you are not required to pay a license.


I dunno if the rules have changed, but 5 or 6 years ago we got a 21" TV to use as a video monitor at work. We phoned up the TV Licensing people and they told us that as long as we detune it and confirm it in writing then we wouldn't have to get a license.
 Didn't stop them sending the lovely threatening red reminders every year, but another confimation letter sorted that out...until the next year.

I'm getting close to ditching it, TV seems to be against me.
  Channel 5 (analogue) is impossible to get a good picture, although when there's footie on it miraculously improves.
  So I bought a Freeview box, but the signal is so crap that it can only find 2 channels, BBC Parliament and one of the kids channels. Only problem is that I can't tell the difference between Tellytubbies and PrimeMinister's Questions. :-P
