After discovering that my OSSC third-party unit is not that great at above 1024x768 input (ghosting and noise), I ordered an official one from https://videogameperfection.com .
Damn you COVID-19 for making me buy a third-party unit (fast local shipping) rather than an official or Kaico built one !
Interesting! My unit could have the same issue. Were you able to characterize the problem (e.g with a test pattern)?
I did not use any test patterns yet. The ghosting and noise are almost invisible on my monitor. It is only when I tested the OSSC's output on a Datapath E1S, whith real-time zooming on preview video, that I noticed it and was able to also confirm its presence on my usual monitor . No issues are visible when the Voodoo 3 is directly connected to the monitor .
I could have tested direct VGA capture on the E1S, but the VGA cables I have are too short.
That said, if you are not going to be capturing video at above 1024×768 through the OSSC, this is practically a non issue on a 25" monitor like mine, IMHO . I am, however, too much of a perfectionist to let it slide .
EDIT:
See Re: VGA Capture Thread for some samples .
