- gattilorenz 3y agooh, that's great. Anyone selling kits of this? Or an Aliexpress version less geared towards TV and more towards gaming monitors, with VGA, composite and other useful input for retro computers?
- CTDOCodebases 3y agoNot that I know of. RGB hacking is a thing though so for 15khz (~240 x 60hz) aka 240p it is often just simpler to tap into the OSD display chip (lookup jungle chip mod) input an RGB signal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKhEpyFfAHs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKhEpyFfAHs <- basic RGB mod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANSxASanZes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANSxASanZes <- advanced RGB mod.
- gattilorenz 3y agoBeen there, it works, but if the original crt board has issues (and you’re not good at diagnosing them) it would be great to get a good quality replacement
- CTDOCodebases 3y agoGood point. What I would like to see is a board made for larger 100/120hz TVs. They often get no love from gamers due to the lag/processing of 240p content so they get junked. It would be a good solution to the lack of multimode CRTs. They are so rare/expensive.
