Hi everyone,
Finally I’ve gotten hold of a TV for my Amiga. It’s an old one, but it works like a charm. The brand is Goldstar and it is 14 inch big. It has both an RF- and a composite port. My Amiga 1200 is now hooked up to this TV and I’m satisfied with the quality of the picture. It is of course not as good as it would be on a Commodore 1084, but more than nice enough. 🙂
As an added bonus, we’ve purchased a new table as well. This table now occupies a corner of our bedroom. This is now the official “Amiga-zone” in our flat. 😉 It’s great to have an Amiga permanently hooked up and ready to go. No PC nearby either to steal its “thunder”.
Here’s a few pictures of the setup:
Using a CRT gives me a special retro-feeling, so I’m very happy about this TV. 🙂 The Hunt for the CRT is now officially over and it all ended well.

Simply beautiful :]
I got Amiga 1200 too, in tower, but without any expensive expansion :>
Great, that there are other ppl who know how to treat old friend :]
Last time I was watching a Genesis Away demo. I knew it before, but forgot the name, and after few years later I found it, and I just love it again 😀

It’s great to see that you’ve still got an Amiga 1200. What kind of tower do you have? Micronik? Power Computing?
Ahh, that seems like a fine demo from Genesis. I think I’ve seen it way back then, but will have to watch it again now. 😉 Have you been active on the Scene btw?

I have never been on any single demo party, probably I lost much fun because of that. I only watched demos on my computer :> There was no person near me with similar hobby :]
You can also see uClinux on my Amiga 1200 running :]
It stops somewhere in init.

Hi there Camelek!
Nice that you have the Micronik tower. Looks nice. 🙂 Are you planning to add some extensions?
Thanks for posting that video-link. Will check it out!

Great stuff! I wonder on what you had to compromise to get that in the bedroom? 🙂 Whatever it is it is worth it. My wife is really pressuring me to get the computer room done so the A1SE can go from her room. She really needs the space for her new ventures.

Hi Coder!
Thanks. 🙂 How’s it going with your computer room btw? Have you made any progress? When it’s finished, I’m sure it will be fantastic. Lot’s of space for computers and equipment. 🙂

Nice work on getting that CRT up and running 🙂 Some people think I’m a bit strange with obsessing about running old Commodore computers and console on CRTs, but there’s just something about it that makes it a better experience 🙂

Hi there! Thanks for commenting, but I use another TV these days. That was a Goldstar TV. I’ll see if I have noted down the model-number somewhere. Cheers!
