Good Cheap TV for Amiga Display
« on: January 15, 2012, 02:42:36 PM »
I just bought a flatscreen TV from Argos for my Amiga as I got bored waiting for a flicker fixer and the display quality is great so thought I would pass on the make and model: Its a Hitachi L19VG07. £109.99 at the moment.

well the specs call up this
Connectivity:

    1 HDMI socket.
    1 SCART socket.
    PC input socket.
    Component video socket.
    Composite.
    Headphone socket.
    AV socket (side).
    1 USB port.

Im assuming your connected via the scart socket ? does it display PAL interlaced without flicker ? I have a Technika 32" LCD that displays interlaced rock steady, whereas I also have a Goodmans 19" that flickers like crazy and the standard PAL screen is a bit muddy looking to be honest :/

There is a thread about this in eab. They have tested many LCD-TV without flickering, so if LCD-TV is flickering it is just bad luck.

I've test 3 dirrefent, none of them has any problems.
ACube Sam 440ep Flex 800mhz, 1gb ram and 240gb hd and OS4.1FE
A1200 Micronic tower, OS3.9, Apollo 060 66mhz, xPert Merlin, Delfina Lite and Micronic Scandy, 500Gb hd, 66mb ram, DVD-burner and WLAN.
A1200 desktop, OS3.9, Blizzard 060 66mhz, 66mb ram, Ide Fix Express with 160Gb HD and WLAN
A500 OS2.1, GVP+HD8 with 4mb ram, 1mb chip ram and 4gb HD
Commodore CDTV KS3.1, 1mb chip, 4mb fast ram and IDE HD

I bought a similar setup recently, I got this:

It works great for Amiga (RTG & RGB) and also my uA1

My uA1 (VGA 1366x768 )


CyberVision 64/3D RTG (Via VGA/Switch box) 1024x768 (even works at 1366x768 )


High Res Laced (640x512 Interlaced via RGB Scart) *No Flicker


RGB Scart, WHDLoad Game (320x200 native)
