XRGB-mini FRAMEMEISTER: Possible Flicker Fixer Scandoubler?

[nicholas]

Why not just use an LCD TV with an RGB to SCART cable?

It's cheap and it does the job nicely.

[nicholas]

I would...if I lived in Euroland.

I have actually thought about importing a UK LCD TV just for this reason.

Isn't everything made in China these days and even the cheapest Chinese LCD TV's one can find in the UK come with 50/60Hz support and SCART/UHF Coax/HDMI inputs.

Surely they don't make two separate models for each market anymore?

[nicholas]

Us folks in the States get screwed.

No Scart and many of our sets either won't sync to 50Hz or if they do, they internal up sample to 60Hz making for jerky scrolling in Euro game and demos.

Just found this 19" widescreen HDTV on fleabay:

Video Signal  TV, DTV, SCART, CVBS, S-VIDEO, YPBPR, VGA, HDMI, USB

There are millions more like it for similar prices.

It might be even cheaper for you to import from one of the South American countries that use PAL like Brazil or Argentina etc.

[nicholas]

It would be better to have things work properly on a monitor I actually own or want to own.  I already have a hard enough time finding monitors with acceptable latency without having to worry about PAL support..

You are missing the point entirely.

LCD TV's support both PAL and NTSC at 50Hz and 60Hz. Models sold in the EMEA region also have a SCART connector that makes hooking up an Amiga easy and flicker-free. Models sold outside EMEA do not.

[nicholas]

So that puppy in your Ebay link can handle any Amiga screen mode you throw at it pretty much?

Pretty much yeah.

I bought a crappy "Goodmans" 15" LCD TV in 2005 that has VGA/SCART/Composite/UHF/S-Video inputs and it takes every AGA screenmode my old A1200 ever spat at it, so the newer ones should be just as good if not better.

[nicholas]

RGB->VGA

I ran my stock A1200 for over a year back in 92 with an RGB->VGA cable in DblPal mode before I bought a 1960 Multisync monitor.

[nicholas]

Who says that's 'the point'?

Me, seeing as I made it.

[nicholas]

You quoted something I said and then made a completely tangential response.

I quoted your reply to my initial point.

I don't really care what your point is.

The fact you keep going to the trouble of replying to me proves otherwise. Next!

[nicholas]

Because it doesn't does the job nicely. Jerky scrolling, 'softened' picture and comb-effects is what you get.

It's not perfect by any means but it's better than nowt.

[nicholas]

Sure thing, an amiga gathering dust is sacrilege! Personally I have a 1084s for my miggies but I am considering an x-rgb... not sure though, I want to get the max out of my Amigas, so is that when I hook it up to my 20" sony crt or is the raw original the best way to experience Amiga 500/1200 games?

I've got a 1084 still around that I bought a couple of years ago, but for me to get the authentic late 80's feeling back I'd have to go to and find a crappy old CRT TV-set that blurs the pixels for that retro 82^16xFSAA effect like I had when I was a kid.

Has gens sold out of Indivsions btw?
