i'm from Croatia :( :flame:
Croatia? So I guess tv's are equipped with SCART? Get yourself an old television and a Amiga SCART cable, a Commodore 64 Monitor Cable CVBAS, a generic composite-SCART converter and a scart splitter.

In case of A500/A600 there is no internal possibility to plug such a device so the choice is much obliged.
Yes there is

I've tested several LCD-TVs and all of them has worked at lest with this :

With LCD-TV you will get nice flicker free hires picture as bonus.

Usually only one of scart connectors are fully wired, so SCART spiltter is good choise. With Amiga 600/1200 you can also use this, but picture quality is not good., though little bit better than composite.

LCD-TV composite is quite OK with Commodore 64, look surpicenly good. So connect your amigas through SCART with scart splitter and Commodore 64 to composite.

3/4 picture LCD-TV with analogic tv-tuner are really cheap, that would be best choise.

With LCD tvs you get often lousy scandoubling effects like the "comb" effect. This is not just a little bit noticeable. The XRGB and the Indivision scandoublers are there for a very good reason.

Ouch, you are right, I forgot about the ECS version.
Thanks for pointing me that.


No problemo, the more options like these mentioned on fora, the easier people will get to the ideal solution for them. :)
