Amiga on 42" screen?
Been thinking about this a while. I remember giving it a go once, but the game was totally sluggish. Like online with baaaad connection.
Would there be a way to hook the Amiga up to a 'modernish' tv, and having it working properly? Would be awesome to be able to just have it always available, in the living room...

Re: Amiga on 42" screen?
It may help to set the TV to "Game mode" if that's anywhere in the settings. Modern TVs like to spend ages 'improving' the image before actually displaying it causing a delay. That's to be avoided if poss.

Re: Amiga on 42" screen?
Good call! I'll see if my tv's got that mode.
But, are there no boxes or hubs or something to use, to fix the signal?

Re: Amiga on 42" screen?
Just a scart cable should do. The less junk between the amiga and the TV the better basically.

Re: Amiga on 42" screen?
A more advanced option is the Indivision ECS Scandoubler, you can also use it to connect the amiga to a monitor using a VGA-cable. But it is EUR 100 so quite expensive.

Re: Amiga on 42" screen?
i've been playing on a 19inch widescreen lcd tv lately cause that's about all i have, but it's just not right... there's nothing like a crt for that authentic retro feel

Re: Amiga on 42" screen?
I believe Gianni is using a G-sync monitor to create a perfect emulation.

Yeah, Gianni has the optimum non-crt setup.

Then Gianni needs to fill in with important knowledge.

Re: Amiga on 42" screen?
But that is more on the subject "Minimizing Screen delay on PC to perfect Emulated/ported Kick Off 2" which of course also is interesting. It's also on a completely other level cost-wise.

Re: Amiga on 42" screen?
Oh, yes, emulation... This wasn't a topic about emulators, I wanted to see if there's a possibility to hook my amiga up to my 42" plasma-screen. Might just try Steve's suggestion of 'game mode' if such exists on my cheapo screen.

Re: Amiga on 42" screen?
A few years ago we did this at Si's and couldn't work out what the issue was originally but then realised there was a lag.
It does work better on Plasma TV's but...another way around this is a simple lead from Amiga Kit - costs aboutu £15 I believe.
I did a blog post on it here: https://pressfiretoplay.wordpress.com/2 ... s-the-end/
