Hello folks,
quick and simple question. I have windows 10 connected to an old but good TV CRT television. The GPU (video card) use the s-video OUT connected to the s-video IN tv. All good since 5 years. I'm very please with it.
Now, my question is...in some cases, specially for new gun game, I need more power from the PC and GPU (I have another pc with i5, gtx 960). but has you can imagine, new GPU dont have s-video out.
Last time i try to convert HDMI to s-video was not very good.
What is my option ?
Time to change to a LCD :( ?
Use that i5 with old s-video card GPU ? (Since it is essentially the CPU that work with MAME) ?
Use a very good converter from HDMI to s-video ?
Buy a reel arcade monitor ?

Yeah, it's not meant to cover everything, it's meant to get you asking the right questions and realising what sort of things you want to know :)

To circle back. I abandon the CRT, I jump into Full HD 42". Another world, new things appears like the ability to read game description in menu in Big Box :)
Allow newer arcade title for gun and drive wheel on my cabinet.
Overall I lost the spririt of CRT but overall I don't regret. No more video issue also !
