Yeah, the issue of which LCD is best for the Amiga seems to crop up quite a lot. There still doesn't seem to be a definitive list.

Some people swear by SCART - I managed to find a SCART-equipped LCD here in Australia (very tricky in itself), but wasn't happy with the picture.

The easy option is to find one with S-VIDEO input. Still not the best solution, but better than struggling to find one with SCART (or compatible VGA input).

The best solution is probably to get an Indivison board and an LCD that handles 50Hz (vert) frequencies.

Mike.

Got a 32" Samsung LED TV and it doesn't work with the 'out-of-box' IndivisionAGA settings. I had to tweak the Indivision config to get it to display an image for PAL screen modes even though my DELL 2405FPW handled it straight away.

If you're just after a flat panel to display 15KHz without needing a scandoubler the BenQ G2420HD (24" 1920x1080 panel) works fine through VGA and displays my bog stock 500 with no issues at all (stretched to fit)

@Dangermouse,

Yep, my Samsung LCD/DLP failed to work out of the box either. My cheapo Dell monitor / TV was only slightly better. They both eventually worked with a LOT of fiddling.

Everyone always overlooks the easiest answer.

Take your Amiga to the store and start hooking it up to the LCD TVs they have on display to try them out.

I bet the sales guys won't care.
