--- Quote from: genesim on May 29, 2009, 11:10:25 am ---Getting back, the new Sony 120hz LCD's with super white are pretty dang bright. So much so, that at times I get a brightness that feels like I am looking into the sun. Never tried vector graphics, but I suspect it might have positive results. I know this much, I had to turn down my HDTV's brightness. --- End quote --- You probably still have it in "store mode". For some reason they have store demo modes where the contrast is super exagerrated. But your point still stands. They ARE capable of very bright imagery. --- Quote from: CheffoJeffo on May 29, 2009, 11:20:49 am ---I agree with RandyT that some of the newer stuff coming may be much nicer that we have seen before. --- End quote --- Not coming... but available NOW. Check out Geometry Wars 2 on an XBOX connected to a good 1080i or 1080p LCD TV. It's as pretty and convincing as a real vector arcade game. |

So marrying the super bright, hi-res output of an LCD panel, with a contrast level not possible before, and you are liable to get a heck of a simulation. Normal LCD panels don't have the black levels to pull it off at high brightness. RandyT |

I wish Ummon would explain what we're looking at here. If the screen is interlacing to get sharper vectors, it's not apparent and will probably be hard to capture with a camera unless you set it to the same refresh as the screen (1/60 sec for example). |

Ahem. Most people claim that vector games seen at 15khz, or say on a TV, blow. Well they do (on the latter, and regular mame can't even fit them to the screen at 15khz)....unless you have the proper emulator to display them with. Advancemame, of course. This isn't 'hey, look how good this is compared to a PC monitor or LCD', let alone a vector monitor. It's 'look how good it can be if you're constrained to CGA resolutions'. --- Quote from: telengard on May 27, 2009, 09:12:58 pm ---Do tell, do tell... :) Black Widow is one of my favorites! Even without the tweaks I like vectors on my arcade monitor better than on the PC monitor for some reason. The games with background art don't look so great though (Asteroids Deluxe, etc). ~telengard --- End quote --- Mmm, I hadn't thought of that. It's not something I concern myself with much, as mostly I run vectors at 640x480 and am fine with that aspect at that resolution. Admittedly, at a lower res it ain't great, but it's the best you can get with a CGA monitor. |

I dont know what any of this tech talk is. Me well I just like to get drunk & play games. My concerns are more about authentic controls, cool artwork & a properly running rom. So Ummon I agree that looks good, no need for a vector. |
