If you're looking for a cheaper way of getting your Amiga to display on a modern display, you should look into the XRGB2 upscan converter.  I'm not certain that it'll work with all of the Amiga's video modes, but it handles several different 15kHz RGB signals produced by arcade games and game systems.
The XRGB product line is top notch, so it's worth checking out.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I *KNEW* someone would go there.


Actually, I was taunting him, the other day. I found an ad on Craigslist wanting to trade an A2000 for an XBox. I nearly fell over laughing, when it was him. I made the comment that the 2000 wasn't mil-spec and he just exploded.

Oh, it was *SO* worth it.  :-D

I am an optometrist.  If your glasses are up-to-date and if you do not have any other non-optical ie pathological or genetic condition then you will see it as well as anyone else.  I have corrected people to see 6/3 or as you would call it 20/10 with glasses on whereas they were 6/60 ie 20/200 without

Or just get either a monitor with composite in (like my Iiyama AS4636D - but the quality's not great on composite) or else an HDTV which takes both and costs a few hundred...


The problem with buying composite monitors is that they don't always support PAL scan rates on an NTSC composite input (Chromanence subcarrier has a different signal from a PAL video output).  If I want to play Total Chaos on my A1200 NTSC, I'll either have to buy a PAL capable monitor or a scan doubler.

Aww... Sorry, Moto. I deleted them. The nostalgia wore off very quick.  :-(

I promise if there's a next time (and I'm sure there will be), I'll post it, just for JoO!  :lol:

The only way we could get a monitor like that is to buy a 1000. Sure we'll be able to get a discount than. And the price is probably based on demand and availability?
