Gaming on a Medium rez WG monitor question

Post by Hoagtech »

I have access to a WG K7501 and heard it was 25khz only.

Is there a device or method to play 15 khz on these monitors?

You can upscale or downscale to 384p just as to any other resolution. To do so you need a device that offers 384p as a target resolution. The UVC does (if you're coming from a linedoubled 480p image) or you can use any scaler that has customs resolution capabilities. If the unit can do 15 and 31khz output, then it's likely to be able to do 384p as well. I don't think you'll get good results by directly going from 15 to 24khz. 15 to 31 to 24khz is much likely the better way.

But then again, is it worth the trouble?

Thanks Fudoh. I haven’t been able to find the UVC.

I am hoping I can swap the chassis or find a converter.

Are medium resolution monitors just SOL for the most part?
