Why you selling some of your monitors?
Just use different systems for different monitors. Such a shame going through all that effort to just get rid of them. And dont say you have no space! I see you have plenty of space. Who needs to go outside and eat anyways when you got the best rgb monitors ever?
1: The Mitsubishi CS-40505 is just a high end consumer level TV. The best it does is S-Video. It wasn't a horrible effort getting it but I bought it with the mind set of only using it until I found a Mitsubishi Megaview where I can do RGB. So I suspected to have it for 6 months, 1 year, or 2 years before finding a Megaview that I wanted. Didn't expect to find the exact model I wanted 2 weeks later with other people on the forums looking for one for so long.
2) The Sony PVM and the JVC I both both with the idea of using one or both in my room. One my my computer desk next to my triple monitor set up and the other on my tv shelf next to my console stand. Issue is the 19' Sony and JVC is just a bit smaller then I expected that I would want to deal with. If I were to deal with a 19' monitor I would want a better spec one at least. So what I plan to do is maybe do a review on the two monitors so I'll hold onto them for a month or two to do so then sell them off. Plus I will be moving soonish so my next place won't have as much space.
The current TV stand shelf in my room fits a 27'. I currently have a Panasonic Tau in there that does s video and component. I'd probably end up replacing it with a similar sized PVM when I get the chance.
I am keeping the BVM, Megaview, and the NEC PC CRT. The NEC is a multisync monitor and rgb capable which is pretty cool. I want to do some comparisons with the NEC as well but I just need to find time.
GameCube doesn't do RGB out on NTSC consoles, you'll need to import a PAL console, hunt down component cables, or possibly one of those new mods that tap the digital socket will work.
I haven't gotten RGB working on my NTSC Xbox at all. I have an official SCART RGB cable for it and I get no/bad sync. I'm not sure if there's some setting I haven't noticed or if it doesn't work (properly) on NTSC consoles. Maybe someone here knows?
No issues with RGB on a PSX or PS2 though other than needing to set the PS2 RGB mode to RGB and not YPbPr.
Good reminder about changing the modes to do RGB. I would of probably of forgot to do that. Also I meant getting component cable, D Terminal cable, or just getting a wii with component cables and doing that. There wasn't really much of a difference between the gamecube doing rgb vs YPbPr right? I tend to be pretty hard pressed getting the best quality but I didn't see much with the rgb mod.
Also I thought the xbox nativity supported rgb or at most required a mod? Thought I'v seen it or read about it some where.
And where do you guys prefer to get your cables?
I'v heard of wookieewin on ebay from a lot of sources. Also think I have heard of retrogamingcables.co.uk?
Would it be possible to have someone customize cables to avoid using scart-bnc? To simply just get bnc straight out of the console? I figured it would cost more since no one probably has them laying around but I think if that is an option I would pay more to do so. Would like the concept of doing that. Less cables.
