Help connecting A500 to CRT
Hi. I've got a standard A500. Does anyone know if it will connect to a Mitsubishi Diamond pro 720? Specs can be found here: http://reviews.cnet.com/crt-monitors...-32546978.html
Will it connect via RGB to VGA? Or will I need some special adapter for the 15 kHz signal? If so, any suggestion on where to find one and more importantly, on the cheap! CheersTony Last edited by trydowave; 11 February 2013 at 11:35. |

You'll need something like the Indivision ECS or other scandoubler to connect it to that monitor.

Nothing cheaper than that? Or any suggestions for a cheap alternative monitor. Don't want to go down the old TV route through modulator as the picture sucks and I don't like it hooked up to a lcd as it dosen't look authentic.
Wouldnt this work? It's a lot cheaper: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...roducts_id=183 Cheers Tony Last edited by trydowave; 11 February 2013 at 13:12. |

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CGA-EGA-RGB-...item519e5afb92 its not great, but its pretty much the best bang for buck option available. |

Get a TV with a SCART socket and use an RGB-SCART cable. It will give you a very nice picture and no judder or screen tearing due to frame rate conversion.

Get a Sony Trininton Wega Line/FD Trinition. Probably the last and best Sony CRT ever, e.g. one of the KV21 line. I have two of them, both give you a brilliant Amiga picture via RGB.

Argh! Then buy it again. Sometimes the people offers you even money if you take their old CRTs.

Quality-wise the different standards rank as follows: RGB > Component > S-Video > Composite > RF. Here is an example of a Scart-RGB cable: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...roducts_id=226 They also have them in other lengths if 1.5 m is too short. |
