A letter to Santa:
« on: December 18, 2007, 03:56:06 PM »
Dear Santa:
For Christmas, I wish either a 15" or 17" LCD monitor with built in
"FF-SD", by using "reverse engeneering" technique. This way the LCD monitor
can be used with ALL Amigas and also on them "other" computers. Since Gateway has some proprietary rights
to the Amiga and since one of their CEO's is leaving and since Acer bought out
Gateway and have access for mass production of this LCD monitor."
Yes, Santa, I was a good boy...."
I can dream, can't I ?...Ho-ho..ho-ho!
Thanks A-Org!

Plenty of monitors can display proper video and VGA & have multiple inputs etc....

Try looking at NEC multisync's for a start.

.....and yes, you'll bleed through your wallet for some of them.

Well they have S-Video and composite, and high-end ones have component RGB. Any of these are compatible with the Amiga.

Yeah, unfortunately we don't use RGB component, it's YPbPr so you still need some kind of converter. I tried the JROK RGB -> component converter, and it basically sucked (IQ/interference issues). There's a guy here in the States that's supposed to make a decent one though (plug and play with the amiga), I think there's a thread on amigaworld with his contact info. I'll probably pick one up sometime next year... as soon as I find an LCD TV that handles PAL properly, de-interlaces, is a correct aspect ratio AND has an 8 bit/pixel panel, instead of the usual TN garbage. (Another PITA.)

That does indeed suck! I've got a PAL LCD screen here which I'm not using. It handles PAL Amiga screenmodes perfectly. Not sure about the bits per pixel but I can find out if you're interested?
