#SMOKED 1960
re "I have exactly the same problems with my A1200 and 1960 monitor. It
is however definitely a problem with the A1200 not the monitor because I
also have an old 1950 monitor and it behaves in the same way when
connected to the A1200. By the way if you ever get a chance to exchange
your 1960 for a 1950 do so. The 1950 is much sharper.
If you find a solution to your problem I would love to hear it. I
suspect we need mother board swaps or atleast some chips swapped. *:^( I
also have a GPV accelerator (40mhz) on the A1200. I haven't tried
removing it to see if it is some of the problem. I notice the flicker is
its worst when the computer is accessing a disk or the CPU is busy."
It's quite alarming to read the above! So do you think it's a design
failure which all 1200/1960 are suffering or a problem only with certain
individual machines? If the former, then a change of monitor is the
solution? But if the latter a change of chips (maybe cheaper)? You would
not happen to know would you – or anyone else? The monitor worked
perfevtly with my flicker-fixed A500+.
I have an M1230XA 50/50 fitted to my machine as well and I am quite
pleased with it's performance. I don't think it contributes to any monitor
problems. Mind you, I had the opportunity to fit a 17" SVGA monitor to the
Commodore Amiga – or should that be Samsung Amiga 🙂 but there was no
good picture there either.
