LCD monitor with VGA 50Hz?

Calgor · 26 December 2007, 14:37

Looking for an LCD monitor to go with my amiga (as projectors are too noisy, have limited bulb lifespan, and overpriced in Oz), however it needs to be able to do 50Hz on the VGA input. Most LCDs I have seen only have preset resolutions such as 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, etc at 60Hz or similar that they handle, or they do not say what they handle at all.

Specifically, it must have:
- 20-27inch
- VGA input (can accept 50Hz and range of resolutions)
- Svideo, composite inputs
- 4:3 ratio is fine, but better if it is widescreen and can scale to 4:3 ratio

Preferable:
- Digital TV Tuner
- Resolution of 1920x1200

Now surely this cannot be too much to ask that there exists such a monitor?

I think both LCD and CRT versions of Samsung Syncmaster can go 50Hz. Some Eizo LCDs also, I think.

Took a look at Viewsonic 28" which seems very nice for games and is lower in price. I wanted one for accurate color work (on PC) as well, so I splurched on a Dell Ultrasharp 27", should arrive on Friday.

@Photon

The LCD Samsung Syncmasters I looked at had no Svideo or composite, and only specified a range of 56-75Hz. For example the 226BW. I also think it doesn't have option of 4:3 aspect. Was there a specific Syncmaster version you looked at? It may be the European version is slightly different.

The 28inch Viewsonic you mentioned (VX2835wm is the model no) does seem to have the goods and states a refresh rate range of 24-82KHz/50-85Hz which seems quite good. Although it doesn't state whether only the SVideo etc inputs can handle 50Hz.

Since you're in Oz, this may help you:

Probably be hard pressed to find it much cheaper anywhere else.
