appreciated Aussie Michael. ;)

 

...and DocLeisure I concur, it really makes a lot of sense combining a classic CRT B&O TV with a Commodore Amiga. Also you seem to have a cruel wife.

 

Superior sound and picture meets a superior retro computer = a higher level of retro game-playing!!

 

The Legendary Commodore Amiga:

1. The legendary Amiga computer had superior graphics and sound and it still being praised around the world.

2. Easy to hook up with the 520 TV modulator and scart cable.

 

B&O TV and sound:

1. The B&O company is legendary within sound and TV equipment and has been for decades.

2. The MX/MS TV series is capable of great picture tweaking (service mode) and not to forget the fantastic and high volume sound. These TV's just beg to be parred with other legendary devices that can match it and bring out the best retro gaming experience.

3. Just plug'n'play with the scart cable to the B&O TV, it automatically adjust to the image and just pump up the volume on the remote.

 

...and it is like the retro games becoming alive again. ;)

 

Before I post (images) on the next parring match between Commodore Amiga running the legendary shooter Hybris and a B&O MS6000 TV set, I took these images from my MX4000 (in action at the top of the thread) from the inside, that is :)

WARNING High-voltage: Do not open your TV set, unless you really know what you are doing!!

 

Timeless and priceless design

Lots of plugs :)

Notice the almost "railtrack" train like "sliders" the mainboard rests on. Such a gem to work with, I would presume :)

 

A closer look at the "railtrack" train sliders. Talking about very effective building and when reparing the TV. Awesome!!

 

We just slide it back in there like a train on tracks ;)

 

 

 

Perfect soldering!

 

Reminds me of a piano ;)

Ever wonder why B&O is famed for their sound! Look at these speakers. Very well hidden and protected ;)

 

Reached easy 100 dB sound level on gaming and no errratic speaker-noise. Turning it higher and I will reach the dB level from a closeby airplane. :)

 

The worlds best CRT and sound TV for playing retro games!

This is brilliant, brings back a lot of memories for me as a kid 

Amiga 500, 600 and 1200. 

Lotus turbo challenge, altered beast, another world! Now that was a game. 

Do do you remember the demo disks that shows the capability of the sound card?? I remember one have bomb the bass on it!! Fantastic

I need one ... any one got spares or suggestions ?

Our Amiga's monitor gave up its pacman ghosts some years ago 🙁

The A520 TV modulator allows your Amiga 500 to be viewed on a television. The 520 tv modulator allows two video signal output, RF or composite.

The Amiga 500 has a build in monochrome video output through a RCA connector, but that is not really suitable for other than "signal testing".

Such tv modulator can be found here: 

Thanks Torben - I much appreciate the links

you are welcome :)

Actually there is also rgb to s-vhs, since the MX series comes with a s-vhs input, but adapters seems a bit experimental :)

I would stick to 520 composite to scart or a rgb to scart for best images ;)

Nice to see so many Amiga fans here. One more here 🤒

B&O CRTs do good job on the composite video, but I'd still recommend going RGB thrue SCART. Much better.

I still have a Beovision 3-32 as my main TV and I have used it with several old computers and games. My main gaming gear, a Super Nintendo is permanently connected to it. Also in storage I have a Beovision 1 which would be a very good retro-computer/game display (4:3, relatively small and good sound). At one point I also had a Beovision MX3000, which was resuced from dumpster. I gave it away in exchange when I bought my BV3.

That can be disappointing with the later MX/LX TVs (which have a real B&O chassis and more than one SCART). I have never got a sharp RGB image with them. I suspect the passive diode switches that are used for internal signal routing just do not have the required bandwidth for a sharp image. Also, you cannot adjust the colour saturation in RGB mode (typical to most analogue TV sets) and it can look quite bleak after you are used to watching a signal from the composite input.

Y/C is pretty good, though, and I'd always choose that over composite if the source allows.

beautiful reminiscence ;))

Here goes the legendary 60 fps Commodore Amiga shooter Hybris on my brilliant B&O MS6000 :D

I use a A520 Commodore Amiga TV modulator for this session.

The feeling when I look at this TV.. woohaa it brings back memories, from the golden era of gaming... The Commodore Amiga was superior :D

It is not just the "feeling", the image/photograph of the screen cannot be clearly photographed/copied in the overall sense in which I/we see it, and the image from the MS6000 is being viewed.... The teletube image is almost jumping out of the screen - thus making it alive ;)
