A2600 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Whats a better deal? buying ST to SVGA adapter for $25.00 from E-Bay (not includes s/h in price) or buy a color ST monitor from Digital Dinos for $15.00 (not includes s/h in price) Buy an ADAPTER that puts you in a bigger monitor or go with AUTHENTIC ATARI Monitor to go with your ST System??

belboz Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Unless I am forgetting something your only going to be able to use Monochrome mode with that VGA adaptor, unless you have a monitor that can handle the sync ranges needed by the ST color resolutions. As far as I can remember any recent SVGA monitor will NOT be able to handle the color resolutions. So if you want color resolutions getting an atari monitor or monitor that can handle the sync rates is the only option. I still have my CTX multiscan monitor, it can do all three Atari ST resolutions. I use it when I want to play with my Mega STE. I have a switch box that lets you select color or monochrome modes for it to run under. I have my TT with Crazy Dots II card hooked up full time to my normal SVGA monitor though a KVM with my Windows and Linux boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krupkaj Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Whats a better deal? buying ST to SVGA adapter for $25.00 from E-Bay (not includes s/h in price) or buy a color ST monitor from Digital Dinos for $15.00 (not includes s/h in price) on SVGA monitor you can have only monochrome resolution, unless the monitor is multisync (for example old NEC 3D) Buy an ADAPTER that puts you in a bigger monitor or go with AUTHENTIC ATARI Monitor to go with your ST System?? It depend, monochrome monitor SM124 was great! And without graphics card you need not very big monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 You can't go wrong with that, and Thomas McLaren (of DigitalDinos) is a great guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
