I've gone RGB.

Vnz..

Those 100hz tvs are nothing but trouble, not just for videogames. I have a 50hz 4:3 triniton from 97 wich is running on its last leg, and instead of buying a new expensive 16:9 100hz tv ive been thinking about buying one 50hz 16:9 29-32inch for movies and one 25-29 triniton for gaming.

Got the IIGS running, night before last

Sweet as a 'king nut mate.

Nice! I just got ahold of a IIGS to use as a second monitor, and I can't find those damn 15 pin connectors to make a cable out of.

I would think them easy to find at computer stores? Maybe Radio Shack or something? Mine came with the cable, so I didn't have to dig. Maybe you can find a DB15 to DB9 converter, the kind you can break open and arrange wires how you need, and then use a 9 pin serial cable. All you use is Red, Green, Blue, Ground for each, and Sync.

I'll probably be moving some stuff onto RGB soon, as I just found out one of my friends can get approx 24" (not sure of the exact size) monitors with RGB hookups for $150. That sort of thing makes me happy.

Just what I needed, something else to infect my A/Vphilism. [/sarcasm]

I hopped on the RGB bandwagon last night. Got myself a Commodore 1084 for cheap on ebay ($20 + shipping). Now I have to figure out where the hell I'm going to put it once it gets here...

My RGB setup for now will be my 16-bit systems. I'll be selling my model 3 Genesis to get a model 1 (for SMS games ^_^) and I need to contact Matt about getting my Duo modded for RGB. The rest of my systems (NES, Saturn, PS1, GameCube) will stay on the TV (I'm planning on getting a new one soon w/ S-vid & component inputs), and the DC will remain on VGA through this monitor.

Eventually, I'm going to get a second monitor to set up a RGB TATE station with its own Saturn, PS1 (or PS2), and DC systems. My future game room is going to rock.

DB15 connectors? They have them by the boatload at any serious electronics shop.

I always order mine from www.jameco.com - they're about 50 cents each. I can get them locally, but Honolulu's parts stores tend to overcharge on that kind of thing.

Funny thing is: I bought a Commodore monitor with no knowledge of anything RGB-related [just wanted a good monitor for some tate-ing.]

...Now I dare not play games on anything else.

I have a Commodore 1084S, but have never used it for anything beyond C-64 and Amiga. Is this the same model you have? If so, where can I get RGB cables for my game systems?

If you're looking for RGB cables, feel free to send me a PM - I'm sure I could help you out

The 1084s is an excellent monitor for gaming - one of the best RGB monitors out there, as long as you don't mind the small size.
