The best Monitor to use with Indivision 1200 AGA MK2cr ?

800x600 at 32, maybe 64 is ok
1280x1024 at 16 is ok

ok so I now have it running beautifully, but with only 2 colors

can I run in a lower resolution with a higher color and just as snappy?

would it help if I found the specs of the monitor and posted them?

I see two problems here.

1. Using very high resolutions you can easily run out of chip memory. For example, for 1280×1024 each screen bitplane takes 160 kB. So 8 color screen eats almost ¼ of the whole chip RAM. It is possible that background image is also buffered in chip RAM (depends on system version and other installed patches).

2. Seems like signal is on the edge of your monitor specification. Make sure you use 60 Hz output mode.

@OP I think you need to do some experimentation and decide what works for you bearing in mind that you will be limited by your Amiga’s speed. If you’re happy with a 640x512 256 colour WB then go for it, if you want higher resolutions then you’ll have to take a hit in either speed or colours. The instructions in the post I linked should be enough for you to tweak the Indivision config to try what ever combination you want.

Here are some new screenshots of Games being played

I am new to this but I think they look Great They are centered and have not noticed any Display problems.

So I ended up with an HP Compaq LA1951G 19inch 5:4 aspect ratio DVI

I am using trixters Config/setting file that he provided

I will include pictures of my screen, 2 colors all the way up to 256 the sweet spot for my system is around 32-64 anything higher and it slows my machine right down.
