Monitor required.

 Noticed this on Ebay. The specs look correct. Can someone confirm asap so that i can get a bid on it.
Thanks.

What specs?  It says nothing useful.
Does it work with PAL?  Does it work with NTSC?  Does it work with a 31.5Khz signal?  Does it work with a 15.75khz signal?  ?  What resolutions does it accept?  Lots of so-called "modern" monitors ban many of the Amiga's video modes from working.

If the specs are not listed it is safe to assume "junk".

The monitor in that listing can safely be assumed to not work with your Amiga unless you have a flickerfixer.  If you have a flickerfixer then you get a 25% chance of it working based on the info in Ebay listing.  If you read the actual instruction manual then the odds would change.


In case you got confused, that ViewSonic is 100% different from my ViewSonic that I am using.  Mine is a CRT monitor (big thick screen).  Also my ViewSonic only works on my FlickerFixer port so far as I know.  I never tested it to see if it was 15.75Khz compatible because 99.99% of monitors made since late 90s are not 15.75Khz compatible.

stay with what i have

Then buy the Samsung 940MW. it has SCART input and will handle NTSC and PAL plus more advanced signals. An Amiga 23-pin RGB to SCART  cable runs $20 from Amigakit.com.

DANBEAVER, i owe you I think now that my search is over.
I may appear to be as dumb as a tree, but believe me, it`s no act. I really don`t know anything about the technical side of the Amiga, and all it`s hardware issues, and that is why i rely entirely on sites like this, and people like you. I know others would say that`s not wise, but i know for definIte that if i am going to buy an item like the Samsung 940MW and people on a site like this  think it`s a waste, they wouldn`t hesitate to say so.

My thanks to everyone who replied to this thread, and had the patience to put up with my questions and probably repeating their answers over and over again.
Probably dumb is not the right description for me, but deninitely ignorant, and i should know more about the machine.
Thank you everyone.

so this is what you need

Just want to add that if you use the composite video out on your PAl a1200 it will only display BLACK and WHITE on NTSC displays!

Commodore monitors for the most part display PAL and NTSC.

You may also want to look into NEC brand "3d" series from the 90s. They  work with amigas.

Yoy are right about them being plentiful in England. I browsed the Internet and Ebay for a couple of hours, and some of the 741`s are even free if you go and pick them up yourself. I have seen two or three on Ebay that are in the States, and the shipping costs isn`t that too bad. (what i would normally expect), so i may get one of the 741`s that are advertised. Thank you.

Well, i have an idea for you. If you need something like that, don`t worry, where there is a way, there is a will. Firstly, save your money, and don`t eat !!!. Drink tap water and no fancy stuff, and let those bills worry about themselves. What`s the worse that can happen? At lease you will be able to buy what you need off Ebay and afford the shipping costs!!! Life is so simple when you think long and hard :laughing:

lol , if i buying something what have value it's no problem to pay shipping , but if i need this monitor who cost 13GBP you don't think that 46GBP is problem for monitor like that , i pay that shipping because i need this monitor , but it's problem for me to pay every stuff what i buy 2 or 3 times more for shipping that that stuff have value ...

and in US you can buy monitor you wish you have lot's of on ebay but i can't shipping for 1084s or 1702 cost too much ... so you have big choice and i don't have , that's the point of my post's
