EDIT: If it's not a TV your LCD i think only an Indivision will cut because it's the only one that's prepared to work with modern LCD/TFT

Sorry should of gave you more info its a LCD TV, its a 37LG50

HDMI input

RS-232c In Port

Component input

RF input

PCMCIA input

Audio/Video input

USB service only port

I'd go for the SCART as a cheap option, a scandoubler/VGA->DVI converter if you've got more cash and some sort of upscaler (XRGB box?) if you've money to burn.

I've an A1200 connected to a 23" LCD TV via SCART and it's fine for games, though I have a graphics card connected to the TV's VGA-in port for Workbench use.

Hi girv,

Would you consider posting a schematic or details of your Amiga to LCD TV SCART cable here for the benefit of other members, please ?

If you were to do so, It would be a 'first'.

Thanks, and have a great Christmas holiday.

Zetr0 never got a result on that thread, which is why I have posted a request in two threads now, where a contributor has stated positively that their cable will connect Amiga to LCD or plasma TV via RGB SCART to give a high quality display, for a schematic or wiring details to be posted.

When this happens, it really will be for the first time on EAB.

I bought my cable on eBay, FWIW. I guess I could dismantle it...

Thanks, girv!

Though if turns out it's all covered in sleeves which prevent you from giving us the full info, that's okay. Nobody would expect you to go to that much trouble. In that case, just let us know what you can see. (There must be a good reason why we're still in the dark about these...)

OK this is what I have:

SCART -> Amiga 23 pin

7 -> 6
11 -> 5
15 -> 4
17 -> 19
8 -> 22
16 -> 22
18 -> 17
20 -> 10

8 -> 22 is via a 1000 ohm resistor
16 -> 22 is via a 150 ohm resistor

Audio is connected to SCART pins 2 and 6.

It was bought from this company on their eBay shop:

Thankyou very much, girv.
