Dell ST2420L $219 (works without SD)
« on: March 30, 2012, 04:11:51 PM »
I believe i read this one(like my 2320) works without scan-doubler.

I have a Indivision AGA on pre-order with Amigakit, so but i thought others might be interested...

I was thinking about this solution, but then not sure about wide screen in general...

Haven't seen in person but I don't think it fills the screen properly.. ie. big black border..

I've got a indivision mk2 on order too, I've got 2x 4:3 lcd's here waiting :)

The 2320 is only good with non-interlaced modes so...

Mine works well enough in interlace mode.... Not that I'd use it for WB. For that I use multisync.

Mine will display, but it looks like ass.

I won't even get into the DCTV.

I dont really use the interlace modes ever. I run workbench in one of the productivity modes (if I remember right) and games are almost universally in straight up PAL

Well DCTV display always looks crazy thru RGB port you have to view it on composite output..

As far as the interlaced display can you please be more detailed about how / why it looks so bad to you?

also, can you try this monitor with your cable box please?

Why not recommend a GBS8200 from ebay..  Just need to make a cable for it and I've heard of decent results with it..  Its only $30USD and can convert other video modes if you happen to like old pccceeeee's ie CGA/EGA..

I've only read about mixed results with those boards.

I don't know of its anything like this one which was what i used before the 2320, but if so then i'd definitely pass.

Nope, that particular converter has had bad reviews from other forums..   Your better off with the one available from Amiga Maniac. http://www.amigamaniac.com/RGB_to_PAL_NTSC_adapter.html

Below is a link to basically a GS8200 in a custom box selling for a crazy stupid high price haha with extremely rare reference ROFL, but it has some pictures to show the image quality.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amiga-Flickerfixer-Scandoubler-A500-A600-A1200-A1000-A2000-A3000-A4000-/200724109892?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item2ebc16da44

Also the GS8200 has a good thread over at http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=20468
