You too can do KILLER vectors at 15khz!!

For the record, I agree with Saint; if many people have a problem with one person, guess what? It's that one that's the problem. Take a look in the mirror. You may not like what you see.

Hey, I voted for Tommy / Hemi in that poll... >:D
Ginsu Victim:
Then you voted OTHER, since they weren't listed. There was a time when Hemi would've got my vote, that's for sure, but we can't have polls like that.

Gene WHO?

Oh happy day! :applaud:
Now, perhaps a topic relevant post is in order.
Vectors on a 15khz monitor....hmmm.
Well, Ummon has pushed his monitor to the limit by using the extended resolution of 16.5. He says this makes his vectors look better. Why is this?
Well, for the uninformed, Vector monitors don't draw graphics like a regular monitor, which is side to side in lines of pixels. That is called a raster monitor by the way. They instead draw them straight from point to point. At least that is my understanding.
What does this mean? It means that Vector graphics will appear very smooth and very bright. There should be no visible "scanlines". When Vector games are played through an emulator on a raster monitor they will be visible, and the image will be dim, and pixelated compared to a vector monitor. What is the solution to this? To try to remove as much interlacing and scanlines as possible. Higher resolutions are the solution.
This is what Ummon has done here. He has pushed his monitor the highest resolution possible for the best Vector emulating effects.
Well, that was my quick summary. I'm sure someone else can do better, but I do think it should be added to the beginning of the thread for those who are not in the know and would like to know what is going on here. Perhaps a new thread Ummon, and retire this corrupted one?
