Amiga RGB to VGA converter
 
I'm looking to order this converter from amigakit, but I'm not sure
what frequency I'm supposed to look at. Is it vertical or horisontal?

My home flat screen supports this:

Vertical Frequency: 60-75Hz
Horizontal Frequency: 31-81kHz

Is it better to get monitor converter like this or to get small flat TV dedicated to amiga?

Thanks for all help! :)

That's not a scandoubler, dude, so only OS-legal screenmodes in the higher frequencies will work via the VGA connector.

You're better off getting a scandoubler and then plugging your Amiga into an LCD telly with a VGA input via that.

Alternative would be, and I don't know if this is available, a splitter from the Amiga's RGB out that has both VGA and SCART output - then you could plug both into the LCD and just switch channels when you switch screenmodes.

Thanks for reply.

It's been 10 years since last time I saw scart plug in. (10 years since I moved to USA :))

Can someone explain me what is scan doubler and why do I need it? Someone mentioned flick-fix or something like that on other topic. What's that all about?

Does anyone know how different hardwarewise are NTSC and PAL? Is there a way for me to make PAL out of NTSC amiga? (I'm looking for a TV that will play both PAL and NTSC)

Anubis- I'll swap my PAL PS2 for your NTSC one ! :)

I cant display PAL signals on these japan tellies!

For Amiga screen modes you need vertical 50 Hz (PAL) or 60 Hz (NTSC) and horizontal 15 kHz, with a scandoubler the horizontal frequency is little less than 30 kHz. I would say there is no way to connect an Amiga to your flat screen even with a scandoubler, unless it is very tolerant with signals out of range.

To connect an Amiga to any PC monitor your can use a video scaler like the CM-345S. It's almost twice as expensive as a scandoubler, though.

That CM-345S is for PAL versions only? (found only one with scarts connectors)

@Emu-chicken - can't you find TV that will support your PS2? C'mon - Japan = best electronic place on earth. :agree

My father has AIWA video that can take anykind of input, and display it as different output. He uses it to record PAL tapes into NTSC and vice wersa.

Does anyone know an rgb to digital composite (YCbCr) signal for the new LCD TVs? I remember a uk store that had those but i loosed the link.
Thanks

Rod;)
