So far the adapter works as advertised with anything I managed to connect it to (various HP/DEC/Sun/SGI/RS6000, including mono and SoG) to a cheap Dell monitor that definitely doesn't understand sync on green. The adapter fully regenerates all signals including separate H/V sync. From there I would assume any cheap VGA => HDMI adapter should work (but I never had the urge, because HDMI monitors also tend to be wide format which doesn't work very well for classic computing) I also have other Extron converters, but the RGB112xi is best for 1990s workstations. The only thing I wish it had was a way to choose the color when the input signal is monochrome. > On Sun, May 24, 2020 at 9:53 AM Alan Perry via cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> wrote: > > When I first started trying to use VGA LCD panels with my Suns (mostly > lunchbox systems, all 4c and 4m desktops), I heard there could be a > problem like that and stuck with a particular model Samsung that worked. > Then I tried another one and it worked.
