ABBUC e.V. Forum

Hi,

I have been recently returning to my A8 days with a 800XL, 1010 & 1050 setup. I'm now in the cleaning phase of what I have bought and am looking at best options to connect the 800XL to a screen. I have also purchased a Spectre AV for an S-Video alongside composite if needed. Will be connecting the Luma wire as well.

As my monitors at hand are only digital and have digital inputs (HDMI, DVI etc) I am wondering whether to:
1. Look for an S-Video monitor
2. Purchase an S-Video -> HDMI interface. I have a cheap one that is slow and there are visual artifacts
3. Purchase a Sophia 2 or similar to go DVI directly
4. .... more

Looking forward to hear from the forum, thanks!

I can highly recommend the Retrotink 2x Pro: https://www.retrotink.com/product-page/retrotink-2x-pro It is not cheap, but the results are very good with almost no lag.

Thanks for the pointer to Retrotink, it does look like it will do the job very well.

I wonder if it would be best to have this box to convert from an S-Video signal to HDMI or go for a GTIA based Sophia2 directly to digital if the price is similar.
