What kinda TV do you play TG16 on?

Arkhan Asylum · 02/11/2011, 02:10 PM

Id like some professional advice:

I have a 55" Sony Bravia LED tv.

Its froigjrogierag HUGE. I have surround sound loudness.

What would be an idea way to hook Turbob up to it without dropping a ton of money?

SLG3000 and a DVDO unit?

Just get an XRGB3?

If you can actually afford/justify the XRGB-3, that's what's going to piss you off the least.

Arkhan Asylum · 02/11/2011, 04:03 PM

How come it will be pissing me off the least?

the thing about the SLG I didn't dig is that its a bare board and shit.

I mostly just want to see Turbob on HUGE SCREEN.

China Warrior will be like as big as me.

Is it possible to make roughly 1/8" square pixels (9/64" x 7/64") look good?

we're gonna find out.

If it sucks, ANYONE WANNA BUY AN XRGB3?

SignOfZeta · 02/11/2011, 05:44 PM

I don't think you'll have much trouble getting rid of any XRGB. They hold their value pretty well.

Arkhan Asylum · 02/11/2011, 08:27 PM

and it does the thing that Scanline Simulator does?

I really just don't want to buy like 49320 things to hook up just to play China warrior on a 55" TV and have it not look like a smeared abortion

The SLG3000 only accepts 31khz (VGA) input. Won't work by itself with a PCE. If you don't care about arcade pcbs, just get an XRGB-2plus. As it's typically the cheapest. The 3 outputs in HD, but it's Japanese HD. So, a lot of USA TVs will not work with it's odd 1125p output. Also in HD mode you can't use the scan lines anyway. The only reason to buy a 3 over a 2/2+ is if you are using a console that outputs in 480p (Gamecube, Xbox, some ps2).

You are still going to have to mod the PCE though, so you might as well just mod the it and use your commodore monitor. 15khz RGB CRT will never be beaten.

I thought it accepted composite and was acceptable enough with the line doubling and scanlining and whanot

I dunno if my Sony can handle japanese HD.

Alot of things can beat a 15khz RGB monitor, when the screen is that fuckin tiny. lol

Playing Valis on a 15" monitor is pretty damn lame.

15"?!? My Apple IIGS RGB (also 15khz) monitor is like 10". Not that I've ever hooked it up to anything but the IIGS.

Scoot a little closer to the screen and you'll be immersed into Yuko's adventure. Trust me.

You know what I wish I had? Remember those old SNES Kiosks at Toys R Us? I remember the scan-lines on them looking so clean that I always wondered what kind of TVs they used.

SNES kiosk? Screw that - give me a TurbobKiosk^TM!

MotherGunner · 02/23/2011, 01:19 PM

Agreed, but I want the hardware from that SNES Kiosk to run my TG! =)

Sparky · 02/24/2011, 05:15 PM

a couple other TV/monitors i use from time to time

...

Commodore 64 monitors which still look so damn good no matter what you hook them up to!!!
and a 9" or 12" (i forget) Sony Trinitron which i wish i had more of... great for colour and fits on my game shelves perfectly!!!

Arkhan Asylum · 02/24/2011, 10:17 PM

The 1702 is junk,

The 1080 is nice though!

Good idea. I use one of two myself, either a 36 inch Sony Wega circa 1999 or a Samsung 32 inch CRT/HDTV that displays up to 720p/1080i. The old Commodore monitors are a really good idea. I have a couple of spares myself...hmmmm....

37' LCD

SNKNostalgia · 04/03/2011, 09:11 PM

27" Sony Trinitron WEGA SD CRT in my bedroom and a 36" Toshiba HD CRT in the living room. The Toshiba is nice for HD gaming, though it could a little better. It is real nice for 480p support on the GC, PS2, Xbox and DVDs. Now that I have a PS3 I would prefer a big LCD in the living room for Blu-ray movies. I was working on getting one, but my parents friends gave me the Toshiba HDTV. Why spend the money

.

For retrogaming you can't go wrong with a nice CRT with a Digital Comb Filter built in. Compared to regular CRTs it makes composite almost look like S-video (it does wonders for the NES), makes S-video look closer to component video and component video looks just great. It also helps to learn the service mode codes on these things as many consoles over the years tend to off-center the picture.

takashirose · 04/03/2011, 09:24 PM

I have 32" Sony Bravia LCD XBR9 that my Turbo Duo is hooked up to. I miss the scan-lines, but I find the picture clear. Good thing the TUrbo Duo never had a light gun, or else I wood get depressed. I would get a nice flatscreen crt to play my light gun games.

machomadness · 05/14/2011, 10:59 AM

I use a JVC Flat Tube TV. I try to use an older TV if I can for older games. Either that, or I'll use my 32" Vizio Razor LED TV.....
