DCE ScanMagic & LCD's

[dougal]

I have managed to get CRT's to work perfectly using the DCE ScanMagic , but the 2 LCD's i tried did not work .

Is there any way of getting LCD's to work with it ?

Yes, find a TFT monitor which goes down to 50hz

haha i know that .. you told me that .

I thought maybe a hack , or a setting related to the scanmagic

[Everblue]

I dont think thats possible. A scan doubler doubles Hz.... so it goes from 24.x to 49.9 or something like that... When these things were originally out CRT VGA monitors used to accept low hz, but now not any more unfortunately.

CRT is no problem ... i have a 17" and it gives a lovely display using the scanmagic . But i want LCD

[Everblue]

Nevermind.

Actually it changes from 15 kHz to 30 kHz.

[Everblue]

Yup... you are right. Still a monitor needs to accept a sync of 50hz or less.

A Samsung SyncMaster 941 MW works with the DCE Scanmagic. I have the external version.

My BenQ starts from 27 kHz, 44 Hz. Some BenQs do even 15 kHz.

Switch your Amiga to NTSC mode... then it'll work with LCD's.

Only the Indivision flicker fixer range handle LCDs / TFT flatscreens correctly with the Amiga.

[Everblue]

If you force Indivision to output at 60hz... and you play a PAL game, what happens to scrolling?

[amigakit]

It does not alter the game rate of play as it is independent.

You have to actually see the screen to switch it to NTSC mode
