Question about Indivision or Toastscan!
« on: January 13, 2006, 10:56:39 PM »
Hi Guys,
I'm almost in the procces of buying the Indivision SD/FF from Vesalia or Toastscan from Softhut.
I have an 17" TFT Dell E173FP Monitor which according to a PDF Manual from Dell has 31-80Khz Horizontal Scan Range and 56-76Hz Vertical Scan Range. I emailed Vesalia a week ago about the specs that Indivision requires to run on a TFT Monitor and they said that it will run ok on ~31Khz @ 50Hz.
Will these specs are ok for my monitor or my 56hz will not do the trick? Anyone tried any one of these SD/FF's on a TFT  Monitor?
I would also like to know if there are differences between Indivision and Toastscan.

P.S. I saw in the Images section a guy that was using an A1000 with the Toastscan on an IBM TFT Monitor.
Am I Jealous???? Nooooooooope! :)

Hi!

As you may have seen, the Indivision scandoubler/flicker fixer is available from AmigaKit.com too.

I've tested the scandoubler/flicker fixer on the Philips 190B4 TFT monitor that is here and it works.

Any further specific tests you need, get in contact and they can be tried out.

From experience with scan-doublers/flicker-fixers and 31khz horizontal scan capable monitors, usually PAL may not work, while NTSC always works, as PAL scan-doubled is closer to 30khz and NTSC scan-doubled is slightly over 31khz.

It all depends on how touchy/sensitive your monitor is to the lowest horizontal frequency supported.

It's usually best to pick a monitor that guarantees 30khz lowest horizontal frequency in order to make sure that PAL will work.
