  • C128(d) Video modes

    From Stephen Walsh@usenet@vk3heg.net to All on Mon Aug 24 23:00:01 2026

    Hello everybody!

    With all the recent talk about what the C128(d) can do for video modes.
    I need some pointers to find a decent and recent display option.

    I have a C128D (Plastic case). What is a good device to enable video output to a modern display?
    (HDMI/VGA/DisplayPort).

    All the ones I've found say they support the C128, but no mention of the 'D' version.

    The 128 and 128D have identical video outputs. The 128D has more video memory, but that can be added to the flat 128 too, so anything that works for one will work for the other.

    Assuming it will plug in. If it has some sort of weird buly connector that might be a problem, but I've not seen anything that'd be an issue.
