Fast delivery! The Sole LCD monitor arrived today. I did a quick test and was
able to connect the VIC-20 (composite) and Amiga 500 (RGB) up to it via scart.
It really gives a nice picture. I'm ordering another unit ;-) Only 11 left, get
em while they're hot!
I can bring this to the TPUG meeting this week if anyone is interested.

It's an 18.5" widescreen tv from for USD$50 and comes with a SCART input. For
those looking for an amiga monitor this should work nicely via scart. it also
has all the normal video inputs, like composite, component, hdmi and vga. The
only thing it needs is a stand. Oh, don't bother with the "best offer option"
as it will auto-decline anything below $48. With shipping and money conversion
it'll be about $120 CAD (plus import fees maybe).
I'll give a report on how it works when mine arrives ;-)

Hi, I ended up finding a A520 on EBay for $15 so I thought that was not bad
until he charged me $33 shipping. So yes I would still be interested in the
write up. Hopefully it will stop me from wasting anymore money.

Yes, I have tested my ntsc Amiga 1200 with a scart cable and it worked fine.
SCART wasn't really known here but the technology is pretty standard. The SCART
cable was just one giant all-in-one connector for composite, s-video, and RGB
analog, along with stereo audio. The Amiga and the old consoles use RGB analog
at 15kHz. Really, you don't need the SCART cable... you could just solder an
Amiga DB-23 cable directly to the SCART-to-HDMI adapter. Steve

Hi Steve, can you give me a link to which SCART to HDMI adapter on eBay would
be the correct one to buy. Also would a scart cable work on a NTSC Amiga?

For about $40 you can get a SCART to HDMI adapter on ebay that works on the
Amiga, assuming you have a nice big HDMI-capable tv. That's gonna get you the

I have one on order to try. You will need an amiga to SCART cable (about $20)
or you could wire up your own cable if you have a db-23 connector. This adapter
also works on quite a number of old consoles like Dreamcast, Genesis,
playstation etc, and should even work for C128 (which I plan to test as well)
and MAYBE even the PET ;-) Steve From: "Miraglia, Walter"

Kipper2k has an rgb2svideo on his site and he is in Canada. 35 bucks.
http://www.kipper2k.com/svideo.html You can also build one if you are handy
with a soldering iron. :0)

Hi Frank, EBay is hit & miss. Either I miss a good deal or they want
crazy money. There must be someone in this group that has an extra they could
part with.
