LCD Tv in cabinet questions
(1/4) > >>
DataWest:
After messing with my old CRT tv for weeks, I decided that I was not satisfied with the S-Video quality and Im now done. Dont want to mess with weight or the needed depth to the cabinet.

I also have a spare 32'' Polaroid LCD HDTV. I had some questions.

1. What is the best input choice? HDMI or VGA?

2. What is the best scan line program so I can get the old school feel on my TV?

Howard_Casto:
HDMI is pure digital... VGA is analog... so hdmi...

There aren't any scanline programs... mame has filter options as do a few of the other emulators... that's as good as it gets.
BobA:
There are some generators that allow you to put in scanlines with hardware.

Hardware Scanlines
Howard_Casto:
That's pretty cool BUT.... scanlines don't make the game look more realistic... dot pitch filters do.... mame is the only emulator that supports them.  ;)
DataWest:
Well I got it hooked up with the HDMI and it looks fantastic. I figure I need to build a cab that will allow for the TV's rotation so I get the best possible res on shmups and horizontal games.

Thanks everyone.
