patarik Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 I mean LCD monitor with RGB input or S-video input as Samsung 215TW. Does somebody have any real experience with this kind of monitors and PAL atari 8-bit? Because atari 8-bit generate strange TV signal and I don't wonna buy a monitor and then find out that it doesn't work with atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tested 215TW with my 600XL and the picture was terrible. I don't know how to describe it exactly, I'd say the READY Basic prompt was horizontally doubled. Didn't have time to test it thoroughly and I can't even claim the composite cable wasn't somehow broken. I'll hopefully have another chance to test it with an S-Video cable later.... when I make it.

mimo Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 If you don't use LCD monitors, what do you use as display unit? TVs? Yep, good old 32" Sony CRT- and I can play all my NTSC and PAL stuff on it, and the Light Dun works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felicemaggie Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 The latest range of TFT LCD televisions will work fine with the Atari 8-bit, even giving you the best picture possible, which now is better than what we used to get even with the specialist Atari monitors.
