heh, the Blue Amiga 1200 looks interesting too....

Like metallic blue too..

Bit pricy for a 15inch monitor tho...

even for people in Aus

I bought one of these, not quite that price, works with non-interlaced modes up to 1024x768.

He buys them from a supermarket from the looks of the docket included for AU$120.

Its a HICON LCD TV model HL1501.

Aldi?

Might have to go pick one up.

DealsDirect did have them for $279 clearance, I don't think they're easily available from retailers any more.

Could you just not search for a "Hicon" monitor too?
Thats the brand of the thing in that auction, maybe find another like it or one that works

If you look in 1 of the pictures you can see the instruction manual and part of the first letter of the model number (a H) however the seller has covered that up with the remote.... I wonder why

Also since this monitor is no longer availible anywhere else then why on the users feedback on the 1st page has he sold 4 previously... maybe he baught a load I don't know... I think theres more out there somewhere

Hehe you guys are Funny

Yep I purchased (baught

) couple BUT If you want one you need to get one with the GREEN OSD (not the RED)!!!!!! Now that's going to be a tricky one because they were recalled!! (problem with AV in !)
So the one you want to buy is: HICON (part of CONIA) HL1501 with the GREEN OSD (important!)...
Good Luck!
