Cool Re: Please Help need monitro for A500, A600 and C64

It sounds like you need an LCD TV with "old" inputs ~~ composite, S-Video, and VGA. I had one I bought in 2004, about a 14" I used for everything at the time. It was a brand name, like Sylvania, but they copied everybody else.

The question remains,"Have you gone over to the 'Dark Side' and checked eBay?"

I do not what is the big deal with the Commodore 1084 monitor? It is the best monitor purchase I have ever made and I own the 1084s version actually and the screen size is not so bad either. The quality of the graphics and the colors it produces is unbelievable man!!

Croatia? So I guess tv's are equipped with SCART? Get yourself an old television and a Amiga SCART cable, a Commodore 64 Monitor Cable CVBAS, a generic composite-SCART converter and a scart splitter.

That's not correct at all, Indivision ECS anyone?

I've tested several LCD-TVs and all of them has worked at lest with this :

http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...roducts_id=226

With LCD-TV you will get nice flicker free hires picture as bonus.

Usually only one of scart connectors are fully wired, so SCART spiltter is good choise. With Amiga 600/1200 you can also use this, but picture quality is not good., though little bit better than composite.

http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...roducts_id=211

LCD-TV composite is quite OK with Commodore 64, look surpicenly good. So connect your amigas through SCART with scart splitter and Commodore 64 to composite.

3/4 picture LCD-TV with analogic tv-tuner are really cheap, that would be best choise.

With LCD tvs you get often lousy scandoubling effects like the "comb" effect. This is not just a little bit noticeable. The XRGB and the Indivision scandoublers are there for a very good reason.

No problemo, the more options like these mentioned on fora, the easier people will get to the ideal solution for them.
