I'm sorry Xiaou2 I fail to see the cheap shot.  Randy's comments were

The pic you show has No blue element showing aslo.  Where is that located?

Hmmm...from left to right there is a red area, a green area and a black area.......

Nevertheless, you clearly feel they are...rather than the note of frustration that I read in the post.  Whatever

OK, first this is perhaps the worst analogy I've ever read or heard.  Of course I wouldn't laugh at the end result of an iceball thrown at someone.  But Randy's comments weren't an iceball...you're blowing this a little out of proportion don't you think.  Secondly, Randy is not a tool and has not been rude to you.  My comments refer to his exasperation. 


--- Quote ---And not everything is about YOU either.   You have little clue as to the personal attack Ive
gotten for having an opinion.   I always have tried to keep my cool...  after a while,
enough is enough.   

 As for sensativity..   thats quite a long post for such a simple and Jokingly comment.  Hmm... who
else is sensative?    Yeah, the joke wasnt in good taste..   and with a bit of anamousity in
there..  but..  it was too outrageous to be tooken serious,  so I let it stay.   Surely, you are
much more sensative than you let on..    And youve not had to endure constant abashings
either to test that as I have.  I think Ive done quite well under the circumstances.

 Being that you brought up sensativitiy,  means that You KNEW what you were doing
by adding fuel to the fire.   It means that you know that the joke was in bad taste,
nstead of a sincere reply.    You see..  you dont get sincerity when you disagree
with egomaniacs...   Instead..  you get persoanl attacks.

 :blah: :blah: :blah: Anyway, Xiaou2 I have clearly touched the tip of a very sensitive nerve for you.  For that I am truly sorry.  I will be sure to put on my kid gloves next time I post anything that could be even tangentially associated with you.  FYI, the intent of my second post was to both respond to you and offer constructive advice as I have seen you shift on this board from one with an opinion based on knowledge and experience (you were, as far as I can tell, the first to use rotating controls...to which all who followed...myself included appreciate) to one who paints hisself into a corner and won't back down despite all evidence indicating he's wrong.  This is why constantly being a countervaling opinion works against you.  People start to discredit what you say...even when you are right.  You've lost respect over the years (yes, I have read most of your posts...I've read a large percentage of all the posts on this board over the years...your's included). 

Anyway, I don't have time to respond to everything you said, and sorry I so obviously offended you.  But seriously, don't be so easily offended (ie sensitive..talk about long posts....geeze) and really think about what I said ...I was trying to be constructive...even if you didn't take it as such.

I can't believe how this thread has degraded into so much banter. Man.

Grab any arcade monitor, and tweak the FOCUS knob so that the graphics are SHARP and you will see lines. Whether the lines are an illusion and are really all wavy, jagged or whatever, is irrelevant. A properly adjusted monitor of this type should be slightly unfocused to blur the pixels together a little and minimize this "line" effect. (also helps to blend one color pixel to the next in low-res graphics).

I'm a former pixel artist and it's true, we took advantage of the "non square" pixels and slight blurring/blending when drawing our graphics with such limited resolution and colors.

For anyone interested Sony Trinitron CRTs are Aperture Grill. That's why every Trintitron has 2 faint, but visible horizontal lines on the screen (one a few inches from the top, the other a few inches from the bottom). Arcade monitors were/are (mostly) Shadow Mask.


So the bottom line here is that the new AVGA card displays the games on a PC monitor in EXACTLY the same way (from technical standpoint) that it will on your arcade monitor. This means you can configure and tweak your setup with a PC monitor and know you will get the SAME resolutions when you switch over to your arcade monitor.   VISUALLY, of course it will LOOK different, because the display devices are different.

Better pick a better example, Hogan's Heros has been transfered from the original films to Hi-Def and is shown weekly on HDNet.  It's stunning to see an old show in such clarity.  The funny thing is you can see that the snow is fine white powder in closeups and white bedsheets in the distance.

Not to derail the thread or anything. :)

Barney Miller, then.

BTW, Xiaou-  that last post was way too long.  I had to click my scroll wheel more than once to skip it!
