CGA Monitor?
« on: June 22, 2003, 05:05:26 pm »
What games used a 29 inch cga monitor? I found one for sale (new)and was kind of baffled by it. Maybe I'm a moron (no I am a moron) but isn't VGA the standard now.

PC's use VGA cards and monitors. CGA is a lower resolution used for many arcade games. There are plenty of proven ways to make a PC work with a CGA monitor, though. The best I know of is that ArcadeVGA video card from http://www.ultimarc.com

Did that help?

From what I have heard, some CGA Monitors have digital inputs, not analog.   This can be difficult to interface.

Well I found a new 29inch one cheap from a reputable person, but I just didn't know if that was the way I should go. I haven't heard of many people using one which was why I posted the the topic

Heh... Sorry about messing up your post Snaaake! I clicked the wrong link, meant to reply, and now it isn't letting me fix it.  :o  >:(

(saint sez:  Fixed I think.  Here's what I think Tom's message was meant to be:

While on this board, CGA usually means standard resolution (15kHz horizontal) analog RGB, but CGA can also mean TTL level RGB (ie used on old PX/XT computers).
