Hardware and Tech / Re: Plasma monitors / TVs for 480p gaming
« on: September 04, 2017, 06:52:08 pm »
Thanks, retromangia. I actually did have a 29" Sony Wega CRT TV for all of my classic gaming, but I was wondering about these plasma TVs specifically for 480p gaming  (and mainly 16:9 as well) since I found a couple for around $200 and $250 but I didn't know whether or not they were good enough (and there's a high cost for shipping them too).

By the way, the reason I say I did have a 29" Sony TV is because I sold it to get a couple of monitors (for RGB and S-Video consoles I have) but now I'm regretting that. These are great (a 14" Sony PMV and a 17" JVC broadcast monitor) but I'm missing the size of that Sony TV so much I'm thinking of getting one back. I had this issue of space and weight (that one because of the furniture I was making to house all of my consoles in a more tidy manner) and thought it'd be great to go to a higher quality image while losing screen size, but I'm finding that to not be as good as I thought it'd be.
I had that TV for four years, so maybe I'm just missing it now and it'll get better, but I'm really thinking of going back.

Anyways, I'll try and find more info about these plasma displays and post anything I can find here. Thanks!

Hardware and Tech / Plasma monitors / TVs for 480p gaming

Hi! I was wondering if any of you had any experience using plasma TVs or monitors for 480p gaming, for the 6th generation and Wii (so mainly component input). I'm between two 42" models I saw available to purchase where I live:

· Pioneer PDP 424MV
· Sony FWD-42PV1

Both seem to be more or less professionla video monitors (the Pioneer more so, it comes with RGB BNC inputs), and both are 480p, which looks ideal for pixel to pixel display of 480p signals and probably good 480i performance. Also good 240p mapping as well (here's a video of a guy using the Sony FWD-42PV1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swlWaxbquIQ )

My main concern is whether or not 480p from analog component would look as crisp as I'm hoping (ie: better than on a regular 1080p LED display) and whether or not there's some weird internal processing that could cause especially bad input lag, as I've never seen one of these in person.

Do you think any of these two monitors are good for 480p/480i gaming? Maybe even 240p too. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Thanks, guys! Using "Data>Text and Columns>Delimited>Comma" allowed me to separate the info just fine, and I was able to get this:



Now I'm confident I'll have a nice Excel sheet once I've loaded all my games.

Thanks a lot!

Hi! First topic here. Sorry if this is not the right place to talk about this.

I've only just opened an account here, and just for the heck of it tried exporting an Excel sheet to see how it'd look, how the info was displayed, but what I get is this:



Is that right? It's not readable. Should I change settings on Excel to have the list display correctly? Should I use a newer version (this PC has Office 2007)?

Any help you could give on this regard, to make the Excel list useable, would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
