Need help on display Atari St 1040

[sodarun]

Anyone would know what is the best adapter for my Atari ST

I will explain better in the following video

[ParanoidLittleMan]

It seems like adapter is not set to proper color encoding - NTSC instead PAL. Or it just can not auto detect it properly. This was discussed here many times which adapters are OK for ST.

Maybe is better to get monitor what can display Atari directly.

I just went through this same thing;

 

A) http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/monadapt.htmexplains a lot of it, and they make a cable that works great with some monitors.

B) I bought a Dell 2001FP (someone on the wiki found that newer ones (newer than Sept 2005, if I recall) won't work, so you want an older one. Or There is a huge thread about the NEC MultiSync LCD 1970VX working great as well. (I'll probably end up picking one up soonish to see which is better). http://atariage.com/forums/topic/230561-lcd-monitor-that-supports-st-low-res-nec-multisync-lcd-1970vx/

 

Your ST looks worse than my 1040ST, which just has what appears to be vertical lines missing. Good luck, hopefully it's just a cable/monitor issue.

That image I see in your video is exactly how I see any PAL device connected to my NTSC-only TV

 

This is what I use to display PAL on my NTSC TV:

It works absolutely great, and it's dirt cheap. I use this little device for all my Atari/Commodore/Sega...etc systems to hook them up to my NTSC TV, and it works great with PAL signals. It's sharp and clear.
