Bought this and then connected with regular VGA cable.

No good on the monitor. Seller waited until after I bidded and changed the auction listings details then asked me if it was ok that it didn't have a remote or a stand.

No good I kinda need to have it supported in some way and change the channel.

You would think these twits would admit that from the start, wouldn't you?

Does that rgb/vga converter work with productivity modes (800x600) and can it do 1024x768 workbench screen somehow?
 
If so I'm buying one. This rgb/svideo then svideo to vga converter dosn't do many screen modes, or the monitor dosn't whatever... I'll settle for 800x600 but I'd really like 1024x768 yes I know indievision, but they are always sold out.

Why not go for an Indivision?  Surely it'd be easier than jumping through all the hoops of tracking down a tube display, monkeying around with external scandoublers, etc.?

I use it mostly for games, which works great. For workbench the following modes work well:
PAL: High Res 640x256
PAL: High Res Laced 640x512

The key is that for the screen mode to use frequency of 15.60 kHz - that's the only frequency the VGA converter accepts. All the double frequencies do not display correctly - only portion of the screen shows, the other half of the screen is outside of the viewing area. For workbench though you don't need any converter, simply select one of the NTSC or Productivity modes and connect directly to US monitor. When playing games though, you would need to change the VGA connection to use the VGA converter. Since I mostly play games, I leave my Workbench set to 640x256 - it's sufficient for copying files and launching WHD games.

The other option is, which I also have, is to use SCART to HDMI converter. I use this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220627406853&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
with my Plasma TV that has PAL and NTSC HDMI input. You can also use it with US monitors that accept PAL HDMI input. I believe Dell monitors may support it.

I have been trying to buy an indievision, waited months and months for them to be back in stock... They were back in stock for a short time and sold out quickly. I have to check with amigakit again about when they will be available again. Its very frustrating.
 
In the meantime, I'm going to check around and see if I can't find an lcd tv with svideo input to use with amigamaniac's converter, which I have already.

TWITS? I preffer the term douche...
at any rate that was the scam let someone bid on it then change the scope of what's inlcuded after they've bought the thing then send an email that tries to tell me this TV monitor never came with a stand or remote. Typical sheister.

I ordered a Scart to Component adapter. I need to connect to a regular TV. As far as indivivsion I sold mine with a clear disclosure of the problems I was having. MAybe when the next batch is out I'll order one.
