Ok, trying to sort out your issues and whether a composite/S-Video to HDMI converter would make any difference: Commodore 1084 VIC-20 displays correctly with BASIC and cartridges (composite video, I presume) C64 displays correctly with BASIC and cartridges (composite or S-video, not entirely obvious) Flat screen LCD TV VIC-20 does not display at all neither with BASIC (*) nor cartridges C64 still displays correctly with BASIC and cartridges (*) Previously you wrote "Using a VIC-20 was fine" which lead me to the conclusion there was a difference between BASIC and using cartridges, but in your latest post you state neither works. Is that the same cable on both? While the C64 kinda-sorta has S-video out of the box on nearly all machines except the very first ones, it also can output the same type of composite video the VIC-20 natively does. (And yes, you can make internal modifications to the VIC to get S-video too, but that likely is not the case here). Would the video on the C64 have a more steady frame rate which helps the LCD TV to sync? I think the signal strength should be the same on both, about 0.7 Vpp IIRC. Are those the only two displays you have access to, no additional modern TVs? Perhaps a converter to HDMI would make a difference, if it is more forgiving on input signals. Good luck!
