Would say its best to support Amiga resolutions of 5:4 aspect ratio, or 1280x1024 for workbench, and 320x256 or 640x512 for games. Doing pixel art is easier when pixels are approximately square. I don't like these 1920x1080 resolutions at least or 1280x720. Good maybe for watching HD/FULL HD videos on fullscreen but not for desktop in general.

Nobody is forcing you to use it. They're providing SOMETHING which is better than nothing for folks who won't care.

Cases are a pretty personal preference thing. You can always put it in something else if you don't like what they give you...

  But pixels ARE square on 1920x1080 and 1280x720 on today TVs.

Yes, but I'm using old CRTs as displays for Amiga, which need correct aspect ratio to have square pixels. Newer displays cause too much probs with not being capable of displaying 50 Hz correctly or the response time is poor. Both means trouble for scrolling smoothness.

This was just an old problem that I mentioned - most modern LCDs can only handle 60 Hz, so they will need to interpolate somehow a 50 Hz signal. Most games/demos are made with a 50 Hz update rate on the Amiga. This is indeed not so much related to V4-SA, I just mention that some users prefer to use old CRTs. These need a VGA connector.

Maybe your bad experience is based on using bad input signals.

European TVs, yes. What about North American TVs? Have North American TV's been tested with V2 and V4SA? Please don't forget about us on the other side of the pond.

I've used my PAL A1200 (no Vampire) on one NA HDTV and it worked at 50Hz. Soon, i'll test a monitor. That's not a thorough testing regime.

Every Monitor or TV worldwide which has the H-D-M-I Logo
has to be able to correctly show PAL @50 and NTSC@60 Hz
This is per definition of the standard.

This means the every TV will show the original Amiga Display Formats correctly - if you give it proper input signals.

If any AMIGA has display issues then its the fault of the input signal - e.g. the Scandoubler or flickerfixer card you use.

Actually there is a well-known number of DIGITAL-VIDEO tvs in North America that have problems displaying 50hz PAL .. this cropped up with the Ultimate 64 (also FPGA Cyclone5) was released, initially the firmware only did PAL video modes and a number of people reported problems with display .. Seems a number of vendors did not enable or bother to add PAL/50 support to their models sold in the USA/NA.

We can not find out from here.
But one thing is clear, in AMIGA market are some GFX output devices - like indivision.
And some of those not correctly put out PAL@50 signals - this means these devices cause the problem mentioned - not the TV.
 
 

Having all the old DEMOS on the WB easy to load and run will be liked by many users.

you just need to integrate the original roms in it (f.e. from amigaforever)

or you use the aros roms in it

then many programs work but not all

I tested it with wanderer and no additions

:-(

That is the main problem with aros, what works with one branch negative affect another branch

Its good that AROS is developed.
And mistakes are human and will happen.

I see this progress as benefit and I'm sure more people testing this and more helping hands can help here too.
