I already setup and hooked up my ultimate64 to my acer monitor via hdmi and
also used the svideo out from the video connector to an old hp monitor and
everything works fine .
Check your monitors and tv before buying new ones

Test your tv before buying another one. Since I moved to Canada I NEVER came
across an HD screen that couldn’t handle 50hz.

Thanks Robin. The Monitor that I was going to use is a Samsung TV so probably
will need another monitor. Saw a LG TV monitor at a flea market for $120 used.
Seller said it does PAL.

For whatever reason, computer monitors
with HDMI input more often handle 50 hz fine, and HDMI TVs are a
lot more picky. Almost seems like a deliberate limitation made by
the TV manufacturers.
All you can do is test it with the various monitors/TVs you
already own, and if none work, do research before buying another.

Ok Robin, that means I will need to buy a monitor
that does PAL in North America.

Many modern HD TVs sold in North America don't accept a 50
hz ("PAL") HDMI signal. Unfortunately, it still matters.

It only matters with composite/svideo.
Even pure rgb is stripped out of any region issues.

Hi, I have some Samsung TV/Monitors
and according to the Samsung website it says that
their TV's made for the North American market dont
work with PAL. Does that sound right to you?

Most televisions that take HDMI input handle PAL
properly.
