Howdy doodee,, (Hellboy Quote)

I'm looking to hook my A1200 back up..It is in its box and I have room for it under my TV on my new TV unit, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good to great way of running my stock A1200 through an *LG 47" LW 450U* now, I was thinking that it would be too big for the resolution or something, but I really dont want to buy a CRT due to space saving reasons, if I have to then i will..but like I say I really dont want to..my TV does have a PCMCIA slot whatever that is..any help on this matter would be wonderful Very Happy

I want to REVIVE MY AMIGA!!, sorry for that outburst Razz

oh and once this is sorted I want to up its memory and HD space and speed of the actual game loading times etc..I've already started my collection of Original games again, first one turned up today, "Sensible World of Soccer" YAY!!

A standard AV cable will work or an Amiga RGB cable. Something like this:

If you only have scart sockets available then add one of these:

pretty sure you get much better/sharper image quality with a actual RGB scart instead of the RCA plug thingy
something like this cable from amigakit

not 100% sure if your tv supports it.. but seems to have a "full scart" slot
maybe someone else here knows a bit more about the ins and outs of this
