That looks really nice. How did you get 240p on that monitor? I thought it did 31KHz/480p minimum, no SD resolutions.
Yeah, it's a scanline overlay.
With Groovymame and the CRT emu drivers, you can display at the native resolution and refresh rate on a 15Khz monitor or double resolution and native refresh on a 31Khz monitor. It's really slick.
Yeah I tried that on my 15/31KHz monitor, it's pretty cool. But had no idea there was a scanline generator in there, probably because I didn't need it and think to look for it. In person, does it look comparable to a PVM? I'm not home to try it out myself.
Well here's my new 2530 PVM all nice and cleaned up. It took a couple of days but it turned out really nice. When I first picked it up, there was a layer of REALLY old and nasty looking tape around the frame of the tv that would not come off. After applying three applications of goo gone, I took a razor blade and began the slow and careful process of scraping off all that tape. When the tape was coming off it became yellow powder that was really nasty and probably not good to inhale.
After that was completed, the razor left scuff marks (not scratches) across the surface of the tv. So I took the tv outside, covered areas in painters tape and (I don't know if this is sacrilege to PVM owners here) spray painted a nice couple layers of black paint that complements the dark gray back panel. After letting it dry outside overnight, I brought it back in and it looks 100 times better then when I first bought it. Now all I have to do is take the back off and wash that down of all the dust and cobwebs on the back and dry it off before placing it back on. After that I'll be using the 240p test suite to help me adjust the monitor's screen and I'll be golden!
Am I part of the PVM club now?
lol
Also before you ask the sony symbol on the bottom was always missing. I'll be trying to find a replacement eventually.
I just received my JVC TM-H1950CG from a seller on eBay. It was listed with the RGB/Component input card. Once I opened the package I realized the seller swapped out the RGB card with an SDI add-on card.
Hope this gets resolved...these cards are not easy to come by.
Was this ever resolved?
That would be some major BS if you have to pay the return shipping. It is definitely no accident that the RGB card isn't in your monitor.
Negative. I have to send the monitor back to the original seller. They were unsuccessful in finding the original RGB card. I was also unsuccessful looking for one as well.
get a scart to bnc cable, and an 8 inch pvm?
There was one on eBay that went unsold.

Try contacting the seller, sensorium7... assuming you keep the monitor. If not, there's a couple of others JVCs floating around eBay with the card on the back.
Don't mean to be a jerk and rub it in but I have three. I plan to get another JVC and keep the third card as backup in case of failure, so I'm holding on to them. They're extremely hard to find and I got really lucky.
let us know if you get true stereo or just semi stereoYup you did, I'll have to make an adapter. Thanks!
