I dunno if it's relevant or not, but my go-to LCD
for retro stuff is the
Dell 2007FP-
There was a panel lottery, some are TN, some IPS. Both are solid.
They are 4:3, 1600x1200 native.
They have DVI, VGA, Composite and S-Video inputs, and very stellar scalers.
They sync to SoG, and have no trouble with oddball resolutions like
1152x8-whatever.
My SGI stuff can drive it at native resolution. As an added bonus, you can
disable scaling if you want black bars and native resolution.
These are readily available for ~$35, and I have at least 6.
Hi Ian (and list),
Quick question, have you ever used a plain ol' composite input on yours?
Turns out my problem isn't just my problem, people have been having the same
issue since the screens were new - composite input just doesn't work unless
it's a very specific set of circumstances. That or there's a particular
setup required that isn't documented anywhere...
So far I've tried:
Spectrum (composite)
ZX81 (composite)
Raspberry Pi B
Apple ][GS
Amiga 1200
Amiga CD32 (this one *nearly* works, I get the splash screen)
Playstation 1 (ditto)
EACA VideoGenie
Have you got any of those kicking around you could plug in and test for me?
Cheers,
