Title: What connection to use with LCD?
Post by: juksu on June 08, 2010, 05:25:04 am

Many say that LCD is too sharp for MAME games. I have wondered that if you use analog connections like composite, component or svideo, would the picture be better for mame games? The worser analog connection, more softer picture. Composite maby has too much noise and too soft, but maby svideo would be ok?

DVI, HDMI or DP.
Analog is useless. If you wan't to interpolate, the PC does a better job, and personally, I have totally no problem with blocky graphics. In fact, I prefer it above an original CRT (Hit me hard!). The classic graphics look so super-awesome in blocky mode on a wide-gamut LCD. YUM!

How old games do you play? I think those with simple graphics are ok on lcd, but those 90's game dosn't look so good anymore. Games like Cruis'n USA & World and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo looks very pixelated.

I like them all pixelated. SF2 Alpha, 1944, all no problem.
