interesting news, hopefully not another dead end.

Well,it seems that someone is interested to make an adapter with the Analogix chipset,i will inform you when i will have more informations.
Analogix is only a chipset maker,is the chinese manufacturer of the adapter that fucked us.

Yes but, the DAC in external adapters and internal graphic cards aren't the same. You need a good, high frequency DAC in the first place. Then come the power consumption and heat dissipation issues, which may be a limiting factor or at least a design annoyance with adapters in the usual form factor.Well the DAC's on our video cards (that support VGA) can actually go above 400 with Toasty X's tool. So I don't think it's too ambitious, I'd like for it to be as high as possible, especially considering that even a 360mhz cap will limit the range on most 21" CRT's.
If anyone here happen to find the complete datasheets for these, I'd be really interested.
Hey, long time lurker from Poland here.
Anyway, I'm selling my FW900. It's a unit from the first batch(oct 2000) and it's 100% functional. Could use some windas/focal point adjustment which I've never gotten to though. The coating is intact and the only visible scratch requires a bright static image to be seen.
So any polish and german people as well since I live near the border(150km from Berlin) are welcome to PM me.
Got a Mitsu DP2070sb as well.
EDIT: I've changed my mind and decided not to sell them yet. Feel free to PM me with offers though.
Any converter avaible will do the job. Most of them have a 165mhz cap, so I suggest you to go to your local ebay and get the cheapest one (in europe you could get them for ~5€).Can anyone recommend a DAC converter that will handle 1024x768 @105hz. This is the resolution i run my Hitachi Superscan Pro 21 at, I have held off upgrading my GPU until a good DAC arrives. At this low resolution should i be okay, even at higher hz?
BTW, I used to own two F900's (a7217a's precisely). Foolishly sold them for $300 each a few years ago, still regret it. Hitachi is nice for its age (1996), but no substitute for the FW900...
My monitor can't do 100hz at any higher resolution I don' think or I would run a bit higher. I'm okay with this resolution though, its easy to pull 100+ FPS is any decently coded game. I should have waited for the reply here before buying an old gtx 950, I wish i had gone for the 1070mini or 1050ti in my mini itx build...Why limit yourself to 1024x768? HD Fury Nano GX and the VCOM displayport adapter can hit fairly high pixel clocks, close to 300mhz
No difference in quality, but I would chose the displayport because dvi is already dead.Would it be better to convert from DVI-D to VGA or Displayport to VGA?
Actually I think the analog signal is gone on the GTX 1000 series, you would need a GTX 970 or 980.My monitor can't do 100hz at any higher resolution I don' think or I would run a bit higher.

Im quite sure that your monitor is capable of higher resolutions, could you post the exact model? Sounds like you are only using the monitor presets. Download CRU (Custom resolution utility) to enable 100hz at higher resolutions.
Its a "Hitachi SuperScan Pro 21" model number: CM211OMU. I could hardly find a trace of info, but one .pdf I found online had an ad listing some supported resolutiosn 1024x768 @105hz being one of them
In that case I'm sure you're going to be able to run higher resolutions&refresh rates. Once you have everything set up, download CRU and then;Its a "Hitachi SuperScan Pro 21" model number: CM211OMU.

Hello hardforum CRT masters.
I was going to sell/toss my Sony F500 but I decided to get an hdmi to vga adapter and hook it up to my playstion 3. So I set it up and I have a question; Should I be using full range (0-255) or limited range for the hdmi output. Full range seems a little too dark for films and some games, even after turning up the brightness (my sweet spot is 35 brightness), while limited is far better and doesn't really look washed out.
have a bead one on buying one of these, anything I should know before buying it? And whats the easiest device I could get to test it before taking it home? (Craigslist.) I think the only computer I have with analog video out is my big desktop.

In my understanding, always use full range with CRT's. What adapter are you using?
can you set the playstation 3 for full range?

Yes I can change the settings between full and limited range. Full appears to be too dark. Limited still looks great, better than my current PLS lcd monitor.
you're changing it to full on both PS3 and your video card settings right?
right, but what I'm asking about is the playstation settings themselves. According to that link I posted, it looks like you can set the RGB to full on the playstation itself.
Yeah, you're absolutely supposed to use Full range RGB. My guess is your Nvidia card is outputting limited, and you set brightness for that. Then when you go full on PS3, you're getting crushed blacks. You need full on both.
My advice is to go to http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ and download some of the images and put them on your PS3. Stuff like black level, white level, grayscale gradient. Then adjust your brightness/contrast with the PS3 set to full range. Then also make sure Nvidia is outputting full range RGB. Then results should be the same on both PC and PS3.
