Well all PAL amigas, which have colour composite output (read amiga 1200 ;)
can convert the NTSC screen to 60Hz PAL and all Commodore monitors can show
this and so does almost every TV too. If you use RGB output, then some tv's
can't display the picture, because they does NOT have RGB input.
For NTSC amigas I think they have something similar, but I don't know if
NTSC tv's can show NTSC 50Hz displays. So anybody have possibility to plug
NTSC 1200 for NTSC tv and put the Amy in PAL?
