    Work In Progress Perfect setups (TV/monitor, console, capture device)

    Anyone, perhaps @Kadano , have any experience working with NVIDIA custom analog VGA resolutions and Dolphin, particularly FM? Whenever I set the resolution of my desktop to something that isn't a supported native resolution of my GDM FW900 (for example 960p, 120hz...once I full screen Dolphin...

    Work In Progress Perfect setups (TV/monitor, console, capture device)

    Was able to get Sony GDM FW900 for my place on what I think was a good deal ($140). This thing is such a beast (and widescreen), and use custom resolution software to set up to 160 hz max refresh rate. I usually set Graphics to 1080P for Dolphin Melee, I want to get a balance of great...

    Unfortunately, they're DVI-D. Sad face.

    Thanks for the information Kadano. Actually, my motherboard graphics has a VGA port which I thought I couldn't use because it didn't work unless no display is connected to the dedicated GPU, but after googling, you can in fact use multiple monitors by enabling the motherboard graphics via BIOS...

    Anyone have knowledge whether it makes a difference in input lag what type of adapter/port (DP vs DVI) used to connect a desktop PC running Dolphin Melee to a CRT monitor? I'm debating switching over from DisplayPort->VGA to a DVI->VGA?

    Interesting. Do you have your methodology for measuring latency thru devices like these documented somewhere in these forums? I'm been perfectly happy with my Extron USP 405 but I'd like to know for myself in raw numbers the lag for any of the conversions I'm doing (e.g: just RGB->component...

    My use case was have console and PC connected to use the same CRT monitor / tv, selectable by a switch. First I wanted to do this with an Extron CVC (which I got first) and my ViewSonic. But then I saw a good conditioned PVM 20L5 at a reasonable price on Ebay, so wanted to do this with a PVM...

    This one arrived at my doorstep today. It's smooth as butter. Using the VGA loopback to compare simulataneously with Dolphin->CRT monitor [1], eyeballing, no noticeable difference in input lag. I also like the knob that you can use to quickly scroll through all the diff output resolutions. [1]...

    50 + free shipping I'm curious bout that as well. Right now I couldn't get my laptop to output correctly to the PVM (vga -> Display Port -> BNC (combining H/V signals with a BNC combiner -> External sync). DisplayPort doesn't support CRT TV. Looking at the USP 405 manual looks like it can...

    ViewSonic a91f+ via CVC 300. Also sniped a Extron USP 405 cuz I saw it at a good price (50+shipping), gonna try it out to get the PVM to act as an external monitor like I originally planned. Heard also emulators for retro games look great on PVMs (esp the NES/SNES/MAME etc).

    Work In Progress Perfect setups (TV/monitor, console, capture device)

    I figured out the problem, there were no knobs but 'MONO' and 'BLUE ONLY' were turned on. I falsely assumed mono referred to audio mute instead of monochrome and blue light only affected the menu options, hence why it seemed R/B signals didn't do anything. Thanks! By the way, Sony PVM 20L5 is...

    Work In Progress Perfect setups (TV/monitor, console, capture device)

    Anyone here who has a PVM can help me setup my wii (480p/60)? I just got the PVM 20L5, however when I plug my wii via the Official Wii Component Cable to the Y/G,Pb/B,Pr/R via BNC adapters (no Ext Sync) but I get Black and White images. It also seems that B and R inputs aren't doing anything to...

    Thanks for replying Kadano. I guess what I really want to know before pulling out the wallet for the PVM-20L5 if the PVM would be able to even display as external monitor (e.g: extended screen) for my Macbook Pro like my A91F+ is doing currently. In addition, maybe you can enlighten me here...

    Work In Progress Perfect setups (TV/monitor, console, capture device)

    I have the opportunity to obtain a Sony PVM 20L5 (w/ an Extron per your recommendation) because I'd like to have a non-Dolphin 480p60 Melee setup (on Wii) in addition to the Dolphin Melee setup I already have with a CRT monitor (19" ViewSonic Ultrabrite a91f+ hooked up via mini-display port...

    UCD vs UCB. This Saturday at 11

    Do you guys want Berkeley to host again? I think our club can arrange something of huge proportions like this. Do you guys think we can get more than just UCB vs Davis this time? SARS
