Re: [vcf-midatlantic] PAL C-64 on 1084-S?
I have a few low cost LCDs that accept PAL signal, as I discovered by hooking up a new to me Amiga to the composite in. On Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 1:14 PM Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
If you have access to one, You could run the video output signal of C64 though a multi-system or multi-standard VCR. Samsung had a really nice one back then. It may allow you to select NTSC out and PAL input. I don't have one to try, but I remember using them back in the late 90s - 2k. Also online there has to be converters that can do this.

Not if it is a US version.
So what can I do to display a PAL C64?

Can anyone confirm that I can use a Commodore 1084S monitor to display a Pal C64? I finally got around to converting my C64 to PAL, but my LED monitor doesn't seem to work with PAL.

Jeff: I also have a cheap LCD with composite input. Don't know if it works with PAL, but I can bring it to the museum tomorrow if you want to stop by and test it. (I need to bring it home with me for other uses until the weekend.)
why can't you just use a step down transformer for both the computer AND the display? Plug them both into a stepdown transformer. Anyone do that or am I missing an electrical property that prevents this easy fix? b On Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 1:58 PM Dean Notarnicola via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

The TVs of parts of Europe not only use 50Hz but they also have a different scan rate and pattern. So even if the power supply can handle the frequency difference and the voltage difference the way the computer sends the information to the monitor or TV is different. I know Jeff tried a composite to VGA/HDMI converter but it didn't seem to support PAL to VGA. We suggested to try a Video Capture card but we didn't have a machine for this. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
