What brand of monitors are in this Arcade Cabinet!
#318411 - 12/09/13 06:39 AM


I brought a Arcade Monitor and hooked my PC up to it with a adapter and ran Sega Rally Arcade, it looked no where near as good as this as far as res and color goes.

I would like to know what brand it is, i want it at home, best res or anti-aliasing or whatever you want to call it and color i have ever seen, simply amazing.

It has to be the monitor surely, Model 2 hardware is not that powerful i don't think.

Thanks

Modern Sega drivers usually had NeoTech or Nanao chassis in them IIRC. NeoTech in particular had a flair for over-saturation.

Can i do something with my Nanao Arcade Monitor to make it display like that! Check out the same track on my Nanao, it looks no where near as good as that, it doesn't look much better than on a CRT PC monitor.

Scud Race looks pretty good on it, still not in the class of the display of the ones in the cabinet. The screen has a clearer picture, my camera is a bit cheap that is the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIeCh4exzzc


Here is the monitor up close, the front and back, anything on the back i can change! any wire i can plug somewhere else or unplug that will do it, i have tried all the settings, unless there is some more on the back that i can't find.

I still love the monitor but i will love it a lot more if i can get to do display like the ones in that cabinet.

Is the picture a little blurry? Clarity is your issue?

Here are things I'd check right away...
Calibrate the focus of the tube. The control knob
is the upper of the two on the monitor flyback transformer.


('brightness' is really screen voltage B+)

If this is not the problem, look close at the CRT, especially white letters or put the screen in "cross hatch" monitor test pattern.



Do any of the colors not converge well? Like, is there an alignment problem where the red strays from the other colors, for example?

This picture exaggerates the issue:


This issue is a bit more complex and involves aligning the focal rings along the neck of the picture tube. A very time consuming, frustrating procedure often

The other concern is that your emulation is presenting at clear native resolution and not scaling anything. I doubt this is the problem as it's usually more a concern with older games that use 224 vertical lines while video cards tend to only render at 240 and the rest often gets scaled to fit (yuck!).

It is my camera that is the main problem, the picture on the monitor is not to bad considering my Video Cards lowest resolution is 600x800, i think the monitor does 400x600 max or something like that, i will be buying a Arcade VGA Card soon.
