A2000 Display Changing No-Nos
« on: July 09, 2007, 09:07:15 PM »
I have an A2000 that I am going to be running into a composite input (LCD). Is there any display mode that I should NOT change it to? What I mean is I will most likely be messing about with it quite a bit and is there any display adjustments that once made might make it inaccessible to view on a composite out? I will most like not be getting a true monitor anytime soon... I used to have A500 & A1200 this is my first big box Amiga after 15 years.

I should add that I got this opn ebay: an A2300 genlock board for the Amiga 2000 made by commodore. This board was recently pulled from my Amiga 2500. It provides non broadcast quality video genlocking. It also adds a color composite video out to the A2000 which can be used with a composite monitor.

You are aware that the composite output of the A2000 is monochrome, aren't you?

Good idea.  I just didn't want him connecting his monitor to the A2000 with an RCA cable and then beating his monitor to death because it wouldn't give a colour picture.   :-D
