  • Hi, i have had my A500 with indivision ecsv2 connected to a very old tv via the vga port working with no problems

    I have just bought a new tv with a vga port but the display keeps flicking on & off, it will show my amiga screen, then go off saying no signal.

    I can connect the amiga by scart & it displays fine, but the vga input keeps flashing on & off.

    I have tried various modes in the indivision setup tool to no avail

    My setup is :

    A500

    Indivision escv2

    Ace2 agnus

    Aca500plus

    Any sugestions how to get the picture to stay on via vga most appreciated

    Please explain exactly what you've tried and what the effect was. To me this sounds like a sync problem where either sync polarity is not what the TV expects, or you've even switched on the V-Sync feature, which most TVs don't support.

  • thanks for the reply, my setup was working fine through my old tv's vga input, so at first I didn't change anything when connecting to the new tv but got the on off situation. It works fine through scart, so have been trying the different pre modes from the setup software, not sure if vsync was on but will check later when home from work. Cheers for the suggestion 👍

  • right, finaly getting there lol , after a bit of tweaking & trying different things this is where i'm at, do these settings look ok to you Jens ? Any suggestions to improve things ? Cheers for your suggestion earlier, I had all but given up yesterday 👍

  • do these settings look ok to you Jens ?

    To be honest, I'd have to sit in front of the TV to judge if it's OK, but if you're saying "resolved", I take it you're satisfied with what you see, which is the most important thing. There is no such thing as "correct" if we're talking about your personal impression.


    When I first saw your 640x480 picture, I thought "oh dear, that TV only supports the most basic screen that a PC outputs in BIOS mode". Good to see that this is not the case :-)
