I ordered some RCA female to BNC male adapters to kinda hold me over till I can gather more stuff for my RGB setup. Having my NES hooked up to my LCD tv doesn't feel right and it looks awful.

Do you have a model 1 genesis? If so I have a brand new start cable for it you can have if you cover the shipping.

I have a model 2, but I could use it for my Master System. PM'd

Since I have a PVM now I got a light gun for my PS1 and Saturn, threw in Virtua Cop on the Saturn, man light gun games are fun. Going to have to beef up my endurance though, shoulders got tired :lolz:

i once had a late 90's model 32in. TOSHIBA since it was new, and i thought it the cat's total ass... until i replaced it with my current 46in. LCD.
granted, the occasional CRT trickery effect is quite broken, but that is an acceptable trade-off for the utter unvarnished crystalline truth
in which this LCD of mine seems to display each and every one of my SD sources;

ApolloBoy · Sep 13, 2014

Doesn't help much if you're still using composite for your Genesis honestly.

BanishingFlatsAC · Sep 13, 2014

Lol...that Genesis looks like hot garbage. If you're playing retro stuff you might want to invest in a scaling device.

Okay then, for me it's about RGB. Playing them on better hardware than I used to have. And I think other people should use RGB if they can, but it's up to them if they want to use composite instead.

You might say composite has just as much of chance to fail as s-video, but that's not my experience. I'm only going only my real-world experience with it, which is that the composite has never failed on any of the things I've had. I've bent pins, but not actually broken them. I tend to use my own experience as my guide for anything technical, and not so much going on what other people say.

Please stop fucking posting in this thread. It would be nice to not have to see your horseshit where it does not belong.

Got the parts coming for an rgb adaptor too.

The image on that Toshiba looks pretty smart which is unfortunately not something that can be said about the LCD screen pics you posted.
If you want to continue using LCD for SD sources then I would seriously think about getting a scaler. Also, put the TV into 4:3 mode - widescreen makes the game look hideously deformed.

http://www.sega-16.com/forum/ would be a much better place for you. Please go post your made up bullshit over there.

Every time you post, I picture it in the voice of Skips from Regular Show. Fucking awesome!

The Neo (and all retro consoles) look damn fine on a PVM via RGB.

- indeed, all you need left is a decent stereo amplifier and 4-way loudspeaker pair to round yourself out the Compleat NEO Experience as God Iintended It...

I know loads of Retro gamers who play NES/SNES/Atari/Genesis with RF/Composite and don't care and are happy. Has nothing to do with RGB.

i dunno... Composite seems perfectly well, Perfect to me, for all intents and purposes.

if i had the money to blow, i'd just go ahead and have all my SD VG hardware modded for the best possible A/V output.
back in Reality, however, the stock Composite/Audio L/R,
-as well as my own self-performed mods to my Genny and AES for direct L/R stereo RCA output-
seem plenty adequate for my purposes indeed...

My Coregrafx looks amazing over composite on my PVM, but some other consoles don't fair as
well.

You don't even need to have your Genesis or AES modded, they already output RGB out of the box and you just need the proper cables and possibly a SCART to component box or Framemeister.

i might be imagining things, but i have a ton of these clip on Ferrite noise filters i harvested out of several old HD-processing Rear-Projection monitors
i ran across at the recyclers, and i have since used them on the power cords and A/C adaptors of all my audio and A/V gear,
in addition to every one of my VG consoles, vintage and current, and i could swear that it actually improves their A/V output,
even of only marginally...

Nyder · Sep 13, 2014

I wish I had some, I got some weird issues that I think are interference related.

Gonna see if I can find some locally.

I'm curious about that, what do they look like? The wiring is really old in my house and if something like this could help performance that would be awesome.

Is there any harm in using a PVM on its side for vert games?

Not at all brother, Tate away. Don't drop the PVM though

Nyder · Sep 13, 2014

yep tated all the PVM's I've ever owned no probs, the older ones might want a degauss tho.

Nyd

ebinsugewa · Sep 13, 2014

Thanks, couldn't hurt to check. I had one in the past that had been used upside down (!) by a previous owner and it had some nasty discoloration from lack of degaussing.

This thread is about CRTs, mixed with purists and experiences, which many are looking for Technical Experience. The issue the majority of us have with you is simple:

You have shown Zero Technical Experience in this thread and spew out nonsense trying to prove something you aren't.

You do realize this thread is not posted in the tech support forum. If people want advice on technical matters, maybe they should ask a question in that forum, which is moderated by people like JMKurtz and Xian Xi. I thought this thread was more about people showing their enthusiasm for PVMs.

Please stop fucking posting in this thread. It would be nice to not have to see your horseshit where it does not belong.

Nobody is forcing you to read my posts. Go over to the sega-16 forums, if you would prefer that to being here.

I am convinced you have some sort of mental disability. I have never seen an individual have so many comments just go clear over their head, at least until now that is.

And where the fuck did you even get me saying i prefer Sega-16? The comment meant you should go there since you seem to have the IQ of the average member that posts on that site. Holy fucking shit dude, do you even speak and understand English or are you making that up as you go as well (Just like all the other shit you post).
