ChadTower:
Is this the first drop in 19" 4:3 LCD that accepts direct 15k connection or did I just miss others somehow?
EDIT: guess I wasn't paying attention.
So Ken, other than the mounting plate, is your LCD fundamentally different from that one? Price looks comparable too.
Rickn:
No Adapter.
Be careful as quite often these adapters that are available will not accept small variances in the horizontal scan rate. It took us 2 years to get where we are and so far it takes everything we throw at it as far as games.
This is accomplished through proper programming of the A/D board.
ChadTower:
I'd love to see one of these LCDs just to evaluate black level. Without proper black level the pin2k effect will really suffer.

In response to the last 2 posts,,,
- The reason we are a little late out of the gate on LCD's that do the native resolution is simple... we ant it right before we put our name on it.
Brief explanation
An LCD consists of 3 to 4 major components
- Power supply, usually 12 volts
- inverter, basicaly a switch mode supply that outputs about 1300 volts to supply the back lights of the LCD.
- the LCD panel, this is the glass wih backlights and some other electronics. The panel as an LCD is a digital device and is specific to the resolution such as 800X600m 1024X768 etc.
Last component is the A/D board (analogue to digital converter) this takes the analogue signal from an arcade type board and converts it to digital that the LCD panel can accept.
In a nutshell, if the frequency is not mathematicaly converter you get a blacj sceen or "unsupported resolution?
I tested converters and other competition and none accepted so many variations in signal. I actualy have 100 pcs of a 19" that claimed to but now only sell it as a VGA LCD,
As far as black level goes, everyone that has een it is impressed.
ChadTower:
I keep wondering why this is seen as such a challenge. Is it that hard to fabricate one out of 1/4" plywood or are most pin collectors really that bad at designing anything themselves?
