Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

If you are looking at picking this lcd up, by all means go for it, you won't be disappointed. Heres what my work in progress mister project currently looks like: Nice collection of control options! I recently ordered a SNAC set with NES & SNES adaptors and I'm looking forward to trying out multiple controllers as well. The metagame of messing ...

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

I have an old crt tv - lg lafinion 72, 480p - and plasma tv 1080p. Which of both would be better? I dont have the mister yet... Since you already have two different types of displays, you can experiment with both to figure out which you like! For most people, it comes down to the types of games they want to play and where they'd like to play them....

The Asus Pro Art PA248QV comes with a stand that rotates 90 degrees in either direction, but if you have an existing monitor you already like you can probably save money by buying a VESA arm mount instead.

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

1) Running the 240p test suite via TurboGrafx-16 core gives me a vertically stretched image at the 320x224 resolution (the circle of the Linearity picture looks like an egg), and a perfect image ratio at 256x224. Is this because the video_mode is set to be perfect for 256x224, and if I run anything else I'll have to change the video_mode setting? ...

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

Hello, First of all thanks for the Display recommendation. The screen was really affordable and look awesome. I followed your video settings instruction but I have some minor trouble. In some games the refresh rate does not adapt perfectly. For exemple Dodonpachi runs at 57.O, Dig Dug 60.9. Do i have to set something on the display ? Maybe you can...

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

Thanks for sharing this - not really having experience of editing the .ini file can I just ask a question, I thought I changed my video mode using this code but it still says 1920x1080 not 1920x1200 when I load into something - I assume I got something wrong. Can you confirm exactly where I add this text in the .ini file? As is my understanding, i...

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

Sure thing, here are some photos of my ( still very much a work in progress ) cocktail cabinet.

I still need to formally mount everything, including the car speakers I'm using for audio which currently just lie inside the box.

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

I'm glad it's working out for you folks too!

Thank you for the vfilter_default setting, that will come in handy. Here's to weird refresh rates on an LCD!

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

[...]I found a wonderful ( and remarkably affordable ) option in the Asus ProArt PA248QV.[...] Hi RevolvingDork , You've convinced me in ordering this particular monitor, mostly because of the sync results (without the need of a driver). Could you please share your custom "video_mode=" line for achieving 1920x1200? There's not an .ini pr...

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

Great pics @RevolvingDork. Although is not a 15KHz crt, monitor images look really faithful. What filter/options are you exactly using? I am testing the external filters and gamma and I am not yet satisfied I have "Scandoubler Fx" set to "None". The filter I'm using is: "Scanlines (Bright)" -> "Brightness 130%&qu...

Re: The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

Two things: 1. Does it support 50hz like Amiga and C64 natively? (No stuttering on scrolling) 2. With the exclusion of DoDonPachi nothing is 240p, but less. I find 1080p with cropping a better solution. 1. I'm not a C64 expert, but I booted up Turrican and took a test video with a dinky webcam. It scrolled quite smoothly to my eye, and the monitor...

The Result of My Search for a Great MiSTer Display

I became a newly minted MiSTer owner over the holiday. Like many of you, I've been thoroughly enjoying the combination of gaming and tinkering that the platform encourages. Finding the best possible display involves wading through a matrix of tradeoffs, but I've been so happy with when I landed I wanted to share my results in case they can help out...
