FlickerMagic = Scan Doubler Also, Or Not?
« on: June 23, 2004, 02:42:08 AM »
Hi,

I'm wanting to connect my Amiga to my 21" Dell monitor (P1110) and I would like to do it the best way possible, with the best quality I mean.

Will this FlickerMagic do the trick:

http://www.powerc.com/cgi-bin/psearch.cgi?code=650-0008&rn=240&aid=&uid=ss1UUZaBy/uMogw&sid=&cid=4&act=gpage

I've been reading about ScanMagics and I heard they are meant to be better or are they the same product with a different name?  :-?

Basically I want a way to output to my Dell monitor with the best quality and it will work with everything like when you connect the Amiga to a TV... games, workbench demos etc etc.

Thanks,

Nick

Yes.  Scan Magic and Flicker Magic are the same thing.  And, they are both scan doublers.  I'd suggest not buying from Power Computing though.  They are thieves.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Cool that's the info I needed  :-D

Why do you say they are thieves though? I've ordered a ton of Amiga stuff in the last week from them and I've had no problems at all  :-?

I'm from the UK though so that might be why.

They charged my credit card for items they never sent. They refuse to issue me a refund, and do not answer emails or return calls.

Sounds Pretty bad, is there anywhere else I could obtain the same product without being ripped off? :-P
