Amiga Screen
« on: April 02, 2003, 01:40:35 AM »
Okay so I am like so close to buying an Amiga. Just have to send the guy his money, and he'll ground ship me an A2000. Now it'll come with keyboard and mouse, but.... no monitor.

Can the Maiga use: LCD? OLD Packard Bell monitor I have ( think 386 old)? should I ask my friend to borrow his commodore64 screen? (And it makes such a ncie TV) I've heard of flicker fixers, when do you need one? Would it be best to just buy an old Amiga monitor? (more money... sniff...  :-(  )

And  Ad said it'd come with a cable for monitor. I have plenty of wire hookups, and all sorts of connection type switchers, would it work on a TV (in the short run)

For Sale : Amiga 2000, 2MEG, 40 MEG. No monitor but has video cable, keyboard, and mouse. Not sure what Kick or WB is on it. Lots of misc. software. Working condition.

Thats what Ive got from AmiBench, so perhaps this question is premature, I could of course always bug the guy selling it but meh.

25$ and 20$ shipping and handling

But would a commodore 64 monitor work on it then? It has the RGB ins I belive...

Thanks all. I don't think the machine'll have a graphics card already, but I'll probably buy one. Do the old VooDoo cards have VGA out? It depends on if I can find a VGA out or Monitor cheaper. I have one old graphics card... but its got a big huge socket split in 4 parts, I don't think it'd work. The C64 monitor has two sets of two connection ins, so it'd go mono :( . Are any pins o the motherboard that I could stick a wire connector (no card just plug) on?

/me slows down and decides a proper monitor will be best. After having browsed around at all the stuff out there.

The VGA monitor I have spare is, in fact, set to 60Hz, 43 interlaced for 1024 X 768. I'm still open to some type of converter/card, whetever ends up being cheaper (monitor or add-on) as long as it works, its okey doke, in fact a second hand microway flicker fixer may be just what I need.(or similiar ofc) Standard PC slot is on Amiga2000, correct... Old pc card would work, it would need bridge board though, probably more than a native card...
