SVGA monitor question.

Post by neorichieb1971 »

http://www.viewsonic.com/pdf/us_eng/pro ... G810B1.pdf

Does the above have compatibility with the Dreamcast VGA adaptor and/or the XRGB2? Worried about 640x480 compatibility since its not mentioned and also it doesn't say if it goes as low as 60hz.


Also, I cannot tell from pics but does the VGA cables sold online have stereo RCA outputs on them? If not how do you get audio from the DC?


Thanks guys.

640x480@60Hz refresh = VGA = 31kHz Horizontal Frequency.

On page 2 of that PDF, the stated minimum and maximum Horizontal frequencies are 30 - 97kHz (listed under "Input Frequency, Hf").

So yes, that monitor will do standard VGA from a Dreamcast and/or XRGB2/3.

And of note, I own 2x 21" Viewsonic P810 monitors which are nearly identical in spec to the G810 you list to there. One of which I use for my Dreamcast, and it looks superb.

Buy with confidence.
