1084S, VGA + scandoubler or LCD-TV?

candyman · 14 November 2007, 11:10

I have to connect my A1200 to a PC monitor: which is the best solution? Which gives the better results: a LCD-TV connected by SCART (or by the yellow video cable) or a VGA monitor connected by a scandoubler?

In the first case: which monitor will be closer, as results, to the 1084S?

In the second case: which is the best scandoubler (internal or external)?

I have the 1084S also but I'd like to make some place on the desk without loosing quality. Is it possible?

VGA monitor + scandoubler will give you a better picture..

1) neither is very close, vga is scandoubled (no scanlines) and will flicker a lot thanks to the VGA tube's phosphor being faster than the 1084s, TFT will never look like CRT, the picture is noisier and blurrier.
2) internal

I used to hate the blurred look of TFTs.. Now I use them exclusively and have a huge pile of PAL/220v 1084s waiting to find new homes.
