Golden Tee Fore CGA to VGA converter.

(1/4) > >>

mclovin:
Has anyone tried hooking up a newer HDTV to the golden tee fore board? I know you can hook a PC monitor directly to the video cards VGA output but it won't work on a TV. I'm going to try a cheap GBS 8200 type converter as I have read a couple of mixed options on if this will work or not. I'm hoping someone has had success that they would like to share. Thanks  :afro:

ok in pm i said i never did it
but i do have to point out to u
the sync vrt is different in freq then normal
if u have done lcd ? then u know some of them u must acess there advanced menu to re-sync it
or u will get out of range
on hdtv this will cause it to go to stand-by=portect
that in its self is the reason i never tried it.

let me add a few things here
do u know linuix ?
if so grap a 16 bit video card (that will fit the slot)
make sure it has hdmi out on it
and add the drivers
in linuix they are easy to find
just make sure u use the linuix drivers and not the dos/windows-blows 1's

Thanks Ed, I Am not familiar with Linux or how to update drivers. I bought a used GBS-8200 cga to vga converter  board. I finally got it running stable but the video quality is not good on a LED TV. I have googled everything about this board and have messed with the setttings and have had no luck, looks like a lot of noise passing through or something. Not sure if it is the used board or just the unit itself . I may have to give in and just get a PC monitor. I'm running out of patience on this one.

ed12:
well i never came out and said it totaly because i knew u were getting one of them converters
but they do not work right with led (off sync stuff)
they were built without led desgin in mind
now on plasama the gt live look fab (same series as yours)
