Lol that was it! Great trip down memory lane

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

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.

Just finished testing RGB to scart on ms6000 and mx3500 and the result is awesome  It looks sharp as a razers edge compared to regular A520 composite to scart ;)
Really a great sharp picture on RGB to scart and very very nice to all sorts of retro-gaming. I'll post rgb to scart images later on today and you be the judge

Here are the images from the same game and MS6000 TV and this time I am using a RGB to SCART cable from the Amiga.

You decide which is best, Composite to Scart or RGB to Scart ? 😐

:)

As far as I remember MSxxxx is the simplified budget model with only one SCART connector, so I presume it doesn't have the switching circuitry that ruins the image quality.

Hi mika,
You are right on the MS model and only 1 scart connector. Although I did start out testing on the MX3500 model and the picture quality using RGB to Scart on MX3500 (2 Scart connectors) and MS6000 is exactly the same ;)
The obvious next step since you mention this issue would be ofcourse to test all the models with RGB to Scart AND take pictures of it ;)

So far I have 2 models which pass the RGB to Scart setup with flying colors:
MS6000 (see pictures) PASS
MX3500 (pictures coming up) PASS

To be tested:
MX7000
MX6000
MX4000

😁

As promised on our venture down the Amiga to Beovision CRT picture memory lane with Composite or RGB Scart. We have come to the beautiful Beovision Model MX3500. That model also passes the RGB to scart with flying colors like the MS6000 model. 😁

Amiga with RGB to Scart:

MS6000 - PASS (See images)
MX3500 - PASS (See images)

Got myself a gorgeous MX8000 with beo4 yesterday and since it fits our testing it is added to our testing rounds with RGB to Scart:

Coming Soon: (random order)
MX8000
MX7000
MX6000
MX4000

MX4000 (my favorite) also passes RGB to Scart with top score - no need for a cliffhanger (images coming up soon) 😐

Manage to get an Amiga 1000 during the holidays and what better than to show it connected to my retro crt flagship B&O mx8000 through rgb to scart :D

Hi Torben,

if you are interested in a MX4002 for yourself or some of your 'Amiga-fellows', you may collect mine for free.

Send me a pm, if of any interest.

Would be nice, if somebody could use it - better than having to recycle it.
