Amiga Maniac S-Video Adapter

ami_junkie · 25 February 2010, 10:18

Hi guys, I was just wondering how people have been finding the Amiga Maniac S-Video adapters, unfortunately I have had to let my Indivision AGA go but I still want to use my A1200 on an LCD TV, is the video quality relatively decent from his adapters?
Cheers,
Timo

All S-VHS adapters work fine, you'll get a crispy Workbench and games screen compared to composhite or (worse) RF.

Nothing that beats true RGB, of course. RGB screens can go up to 800x600 in A1200 with a proper multi-sync monitor.

I agree. They work very well! I use my Amiga's with the s-video adapter on my 42 inch plasma TV and the image is crisp and sharp. I am happy with it and I recommend it.
