Hi all,
Has anyone tried using a VGA to HDMI converter such as this one on eBay with their retro PC?
A couple of my LCD monitors refuse to sync at certain resolutions (e.g. with a Trident TVGA8900 my Dell U2412M often requires a power cycle to sync after a mode change, and will never sync when playing any Commander Keen game) so I am wondering whether I'd have better success with an active converter such as this one?
Another reason is to get a (relatively) cheap HDMI capture card and use it with this adapter to capture the VGA signal.
Presumably the converter could suffer from similar issues as the LCD does with unsupported video modes, so I'm wondering whether anyone else has tried one of these and can report their experience? I'm guessing that you don't get the option of adjusting the picture at all like you do with an LCD's VGA input, so I'm wondering whether they only work with certain common modes and nothing else.
