Problem Tv monitor: Choose the way..
« on: July 21, 2006, 02:46:58 am »
Hi everybody! I'm building my cabinet and I've found a tv I decide to use...
My problem is how to interface it with the pc...3 possible choise:
1- Cable to the tv-out on my grafic card
2- VGA/SCART cable + Powerstrip
3- Transform my Radeon 9200SE in AVGA + VGA/SACRT cable...
My Cab has to run a lot of emulators...(Mame, Zinc, Project64, Stepmania, Znes and others)and that's the problem...
With the first solution I can run all the things I want...
With the second..only emulators with the resolution fixed with PS
With the Third..I can use games only at 640x288...
Any suggests?
Anyone choose one of this solution?what emulators do you use?
Thanks in advance

There is a fourth choice available that REALLY gives you a excellent quality if you have a SCART-TV. With this you can run any resolution up to 1024x768 in RGB. The best thing about this converter is that it does not use any external scaler so the scaling for high resolutions is done purely withing the GPU. This gives the best available quality and it also automatically switches to 1:1 pixel mapping if you select a arcade or dvd resolution.

I bought this converter here in my country and I think it should also be available to buy on the net somewhere. I will check it out.  :)
