English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Image differences? DB23->VGA vs Composite

pedrorq · 11 July 2014, 13:12

I've tried connecting my Amiga 1200 to my Dell 2001fp (that supports 15KHz) by both DB23->VGA (using an adapter) and by composite, and I'm a bit baffled at the results.

(Please bear in mind that note the images are scaled to 1600x1200, the Dell's native resolution. Also, it's not very easy to capture the details by photographing a monitor...

)

On DB23-VGA, the image is clear, with a few vertical stripes:

On composite, the image is grainy/blurry

Are these expected results? I was expecting better from the composite. Could it be the cable?
Are those vertical stripes on the DB23 output normal?

TIA!
