GroovyMame and Vision Pro LCD

(1/9) > >>

jrose78:
I was hijacking another thread and felt bad so I moved to this new thread:

I ordered the 19" Vision Pro LCD (318) and got it in a couple days ago and the picture in gorgeous, but a couple things I noticed where that it seems to wash out at extreme angles, not horrible, and no color distortion, but its there. I not sure if I can get a better monitor with these angles but just to be sure I ordered the Dell 2007fp (118.00) . I plan on doing a side by side comparison and then pick a winner and sell the other one. I have no doubt that the Vision Pro would look good in an upright but I am not so sure it is the best in a cocktail table. Vision Pro has a 160 viewing angle and the dell 178. The other thing is I guess the Dell is a 4:3 and the Vision is 5:4 (correct me if I am wrong).  This monitor runs mk at 54 or is it 53 without a problem. I checked the monitor menu and mame F11  100%. Any questions or if you guys want pics of the monitor .. Just ask. 

Calamity - do you know the optimal settings for mame.ini for this type of monitor? Also its says 1024x768 is the native res but I can set it to 1280x1024 and it looks better than 1024x768.

Calamity:
Yes I remind having set this up for bent98's machine and it supported up to 1280x1024, so just use a line like this:

monitor_specs0    13000-80000, 50-80, 0.636, 3.813, 1.906, 0.318, 0.064, 1.048, 0, 1, 1024, 1024

I've used the frequency ranges reported by your monitor's EDID, and the porch values are dummy ones (from the VGA default setting) as they won't be used anyway. The 1024 values account for the total lines that will be used.

Remind to set your desktop to 1280x1024 and these options in mame.ini:

-video d3d
-monitor lcd
-powertrip 1

(I'm assuming you've already installed Powerstrip)

Good luck!

jrose78:
Thanks Calamity! That is what I had setup so I guess I did everything right.  One more thing if I could. I get an error everytime I launch mame that i have to ok. It has something to do with permission and reg.  From what I understand this error doesn't matter because it uses powerstrip for the info it can't get or set but is there a way to turn it off. Thanks again. 

lettuce:
So what is so speical about these Vision Pro LCD monitors over a normal monitor?, can they do really low resolutions or refresh rates?

jrose78:
So the refresh can be adjusted on these monitor but the resolution should stay 1280x1024. The downside is that it is 5:4 not 3:4. I think I may have made a mistake on this one paying 318.00 but I will know more when I get the dell in sometime next week.  Then I can do a comparison. 

lettuce - what do you have for a lcd and what are your thoughts on it?

If the dell is better I will try and sell this so if anyone here is interested pm me or something. Remember its a good monitor just not sure about the extreme viewing angles.
