1084S Inputs, which is best?
« on: February 04, 2013, 06:10:30 PM »
So I finally decided to give my A1200 a proper display instead of the small bush flatscreen tv connected via scart I am using at the moment. To be fair the tv doesn't do a bad job compared to a few others I tried. But I want that nice CRT "anti aliasing" affect!

My understanding is there are 3 ways to connect the Amiga to the monitor?

Via The amiga video output to scart cable I already have.

Amiga video output to a 9pin monitor input? (What cable do I need for this?)

and possibly using one of the Red, White and Yellow cables? (Again what cable do I need is it just a normal Red, white yellow (composite?) cable)

My question is, which of these is going to give me the best quality? Also is the difference on a proper amiga monitor noticeable over using your flatscreen tv via scart (I won't get the monitor until next weekend)?

Use the SCART if it works.  The composite inputs generate more blurry images and on my A1200, were susceptible to interference from the power usage of the hard drive.

The 9-pin adapter can be used also, but don't bother with digital mode.  If it's in digital mode it will limit your machine to 16 colors.  If it's in analog mode it will look identical to the SCART signal.

Cool! No need to bother with buying any extra wires then!
