I got the AGA Mark 2 video card for my Amiga 1200. I have hit hooked up to a Samsung 26" monitor. I'm not 100% sure the model, but this is very close if not identical here: http://digichar.com/unt/8260-samsung...elevision.html

the resolution is 1360 x 768 pixels and I'm trying to see if I can get the card to get this exact resolution.

Currently i'm using a 1280x400 resolution which does fill the screen nicely and no stretching or squishing, but I figure it would be nice to know if I can make it any crisper.
1360 x 768 is going to be a tricky resolution to run full screen although it may be possible with the config tool. You'll obviously end up with a stretched image if you go full screen because that's a wide-screen monitor (and it will look nasty). Better to go for a centered image with black borders and smooth 50Hz scrolling.

I use a 5:4 LCD monitor which works really well because it's 1280x1024 which is exactly 2 times PAL 640x512 or 4 times PAL 320x256

The fine folks over at Amigakit informed me that this is normal and I'm sure it's true. 9 out of 10 times its minor or even non existent.. but sometimes it can get kinda ugly. not sure exactly what makes it act up more.. seems kinda random..
Probably not 'caused' by heat, just that the extra heat shows the underlying problem. Have a read of this long (but amusing) thread and see if it helps you..
