Issue using RGB DB9 input on Hantarex CT29 IDTV2 monitor

Post by mutmut02 »

Hello all.

I have recently found a pair of Hantarex CT29 IDTV2 monitors that were going to be thrown away. These monitors can display signals from 15Khz up to SVGA and are quite something but I can't really find any documentation on them.

Here is a quick look at the back of the monitors :

The DB15 VGA input works great and playing Cave ports on my Xbox 360 on such a display is a dream come true ! :D

The problem is that I would like to connect my 15Khz consoles (PS1/P2/MD/Snes) using the DB9 RGB input. I would like to use a female Scart to DB9 cable so that I can still use my scart RGB cables.

I first followed an advice given to another French dude who recently found a 34" unit and bought the following cable :

I did not work and nothing appeared on screen. I then tested a PS1 S-video cable and I have a fine picture which meant that the monitors worked OK with low res.

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot

Okay, thank you for the response.
On Facebook, some french seller offered one of these including the adapter from ebay. But I have a suspicion that these are 31kHz only anyway.

Haha, small world!

But it's unfortunate that these don't seem to accept 15kHz. There's always the OSSC I guess :)
