TFT screens and Atari

[analmux]

Hello,

 

I wonder if it is possible to connect a TFT screen to the video output of the Atari 8bit.

 

Does anyone know how to do it, or does anyone already use this successfully?

 

What I'd also like to know is if it is possible to connect both PAL and NTSC ataris to such a screen

Such screens would need an RGB type output to drive them at the least.

 

Next nearest option is a monitor or LCD TV which takes S-Video.

 

PAL/NTSC shouldn't be an issue. Any respectable TV (especially LCD) these days should do both.

 

 

But there's Ben Heck's Atari portable which uses an LCD. Might be info on his page about how he did it.

Do you have a link? I'm trying to figure out how to hook my 800 to an LCD without 3 different adapters.

Seems he used a screen with built in tuner.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

So, today I bought an LCD television and with the normal video output of the Atari it works fine .

 

I just needed to know because in a few days I can get a PAL and an NTSC atari 130xe.

 

...oh and by the way...

 

analmux will be really R.I.P. as soon as I've cleaned up my control center.

 

from then my name will be BRK: "the coder formerly known as *******"
