Gave up in the end and am just using my Dell U2412M for my DOS PC via bog standard VGA. Like you I did have some success with VGATV but the text didn't look any better than running it through the XRGB-3. Yeah I haven't found anything that works with Mon-Arc either. I guess they know only crazy people would be looking for vintage PC hardware. Lots of cards for sale, all asking too much. A search on eBay did not surprise me a bit. I just have to hunt down one of the handful of cards that it supports. I am writing up VGATV as a lost cause, but I want to give MON-ARC a go. As soon as I launched a game the whole thing shat the bed. Unfortunately though, this only worked for text mode in the command prompt.

But a few were seemingly supported by VGATV.Īfter wasting a day messing around with the setup I finally managed to get one of my cards to throw up a stable image on the old B&O CRT. I dragged out the old box 'o PC parts and decided to give this 15khz TSR thing a go, alas no dice. So that's no good.Īnything else I can change on the XRGB to get a better picture or is this the best I am likely to get with this setup? I fiddled with the dot-by-dot setting a bit and the X1 setting looks amazing (I can read the text perfectly) BUT unfortunately this is because it zooms in so far, meaning you can only see the top left quarter of the screen area. Fiddling with the screen size settings doesn't help. Any sharpness setting other than 7 looks horrible. Turning the LP filter off helped a bit, and setting the drawing method to non-interlace made it a little less blurry. Then I enabled low screen resolutions on the XRGB3, set the output resolution to 320x240 and set the D2 input to RGBHV (yeah I'm using the D2 input on the XRGB - do I remember reading that was a bad idea? I don't have a D-Input > VGA converter so no choice at the moment). Connected it to my PVM with a VGA > RGBHV BNC cable and joined the H and V sync cables with a BNC T coupler. I dusted off my XRGB3 which I haven't used in a while. An update: Today I managed to get my DOS PC to output to my PVM
