os 3.9 resolution on 1084S .. Which is best ?
« on: October 13, 2005, 01:42:36 PM »
I use the default resolution with 256 colours but it is interlaced and that jumping is horrible .

Is there one just as good but not interlaced ?

oh by the way the amiga is a 1200 so i don`t think gfx can be upgraded unless there is something that attaches to the blizzard or something

You can use 640x400 NTSC resolution, is less flickering than PAL 640x512. Also you can use MagicTV from aminet.
With 16 colors only and MagicTv runinng, you will avoid flickerig screen. (not 100%)
I prefer on my 1084, 672x256 resolution.(I need my eye) :-)

You can only choose resolutions with vertical frequncy of 15khz - it will not display such things as dblpal (30khz) of euro72, and in trying you could damage (or even blow up) your monitor.  The non-interlaced ones have fewer horizontal lines, but don't flash like the interlaced ones do.  I'd use that for most things, but switch to interlaced when you need a high res screen (eg photo editing).

Alternatively get an amiga-vga adapter (few quid on ebay) and use a dblpal screenmode on a PC monitor capable of displaying 30khz.

For monitor info try here www.monitorworld.com/

You can mess about with utilities form aminet such as MONspecsMUI, which allow you to adjust sync rates, frequencies and blanking values, but be very careful as this can destroy your monitor.  READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE, and if in doubt, DON'T MESS WITH IT.

If you haven't got your amiga on the net you may want to format a couple of floppies on your PC (to 720k capacity), set up CrossDOS (by dragging PC0 from your storage/dosdrivers to devs/dosdrivers drawers) and manually transfer files on floppy between amiga & pc.

Good luck
