small lcd monitor for amiga600
« on: December 14, 2009, 07:45:04 PM »
I am on the lookout for a small screen for an amiga600.
Is there a special thing to look for?
Like resolution,connection,screensize.
Was thinking about a 10 inch screen..

You know about the Indivision ECS, right? This is going to be a costly venture in case you're not aware. Unless of course, you just get a cheap/small LCD TV with video input. Or if you live in the U.K./Europe.... seems the SCART people have a much easier time with these sort of things.

I have a Lillyput brand 7 inch LCD for my "Carputer" that has one VGA input and two composite inputs that could probably work for an A600.  You should be able to find many similar small LCD monitors that are intended for automotive use as entertainment system displays.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Something like this would probably suit the purpose.

Bought one myself and having the VGA input on a small portable display is quite handy, though it won't display 15KHz modes through that input :( . It also has composite in which of course does work with TV modes (though not as crisp) which would be fine for an A600.
Sam460ex: PPC460ex/1GHz, 2GB RAM, 30GB SSD via on-board SATA-2, DVD-RW via USB, Radeon 5450 1GB PCIe, Catweasel Mk4 PCI, A4000 KB and Competition Pro CD32 Pad.
A4000D: 030/25MHz, 16MB RAM, Indivision Mk1, 8GB CF as HDD and IDE CD-ROM.

Hi amiga4001,

I bought a Portable DVD Player for 99 Pounds, it has a 7 inch screen.

I use the "Composite" in from my A1200 and A600 so you get the best of both worlds.

I can play DVDs, Music CDs and also B17 using that little screen :)

Regards, Michael
