  • Recently I wanted to buy something for my A1200 and ended up with this and it came today. The hardware seems to be top quality, and even the 'snap on' connection to the chips was surprisingly firm and will bropably work flawlessly. Only problem was that it wouldn't fit with my RTC module so I need to get a riser for it.

    And now for the question. Do I really need to look at the Individual Computers 'pop up' with all the display mode specs every time I change screen mode or can it be disabled?


    Currently I have absolutely no idea how to set this up but if I need to look at it every time the screen mode changes (for example switching between workbench and some other program which has opened it's own screen with different resolution) I will not even bother because it sure gets my blood boiling. And for an ending, I have to say that the product wasn't quite what I expected. For this price I was hoping to just plug the HDMI and the device would do it's magic converting 'what ever screen mode' to the modern display, but seems there is quite a lot to fiddle about. But I'm sure it will be worth it and I'll do it some day - but only if I just can disable the pop up.

    in the test/adjust section set the OSDSec to zero and press okay 😲

    Sounds like a really huge RTC module. You might want to look at our RTC modules - they are a nice fit with just about any expansion. Most of the currently-available RTC modules from other vendors are a direct knock-off of iComp's form factor.


    As for your "fiddling with it"-criticism: The config tool already does a lot of things automatically, but since there are so many screen modes and so many special cases to take care of, you still have full manual control if you want it. You'll see that the scaler performs really well if you choose a high output resolution. Your screen shot looks like you still have the "safe" resolution that's factory-default for compatibility with the majority of monitors. The circle in the background is not really a circle, and you clearly see scaling artefacts. You'll get rid of that by choosing a higher output resolution.


    To make confusion even greater, the output resolution on the digital output is set with the "VGA mode" menu :-)

    Jens, that picture was just an example where the thread starter can find the settings for the OSD display
