    Yep. Playing HL1 25th Anniversary on it right now. There's no difference besides the image will be horizontally compressed when you install it. Even the focus adjustments made on the Dell P1110 will hold.

    I'm in the middle of an upgrade. The card is an RTX 4090 and the CPU is a Core i7 6700k (yeah, I know) :)

    I'm the one that swapped the flyback from a Dell P1110 about two years ago. Works like a charm. You'll have to readjust (stretch) everything horizontally as P1110 is a 4:3 monitor.

    I play a lot of idTech4 games too ;) (Doom3, Prey, Quake4). If you look in the driver I have set two special resolutions for these special cases. They are the last ones, with 62.5Hz and 60Hz respectively ;) Also, if a certain resolution has multiple usage on different refresh rates you can make...

    I don't use interlaced, only progressive. But the pixel clock is all that matters. If you are within the pixel clock limit of the converter you can do whatever you like. It behaves exactly like the analog output of those older geforce cards. If the geforce driver doesn't have any limitations the...

    You get to use only the resolutions you want not the ones imposed by Windows. You get to have the highest refresh rates in games on any resolution. If you don't have MS Store installed on your Windows you don't get the NVCPL with these latest DCH drivers. I provide the NVCLP in the zip folder...

    It can be bought here: https://www.hdfury.be/en/home/15-nano-gx.html What is this Gamma-X feature? It says at one point : 450Mhz large signal (-3dB) bandwidth for virtually lossless video processing Does it mean it has a 450 MHz pixel clock?!?

    Yes, the only reason to keep them is they're untouchable when it comes to input lag and (lack of) motion blur. I love my Dell P1130, Sony GDM-F520 and GDM-FW900 but I only use them for games. In all other aspects besides motion and their innate flexibility in displaying custom resolutions and...

    Delock 62967 supports what is written on its box. 2560x1600 60Hz which is 350MHz. That's it. At least that's what mine does. Maybe you have a unicorn but I really doubt that.

    Read my post again. I said they are identical up to 375MHz (the limit of usability for the Startech as in for any custom timing up to 375MHz there's no difference between it and a regular VGA card). What are you talking about? Delock 62967 does NOT support 375 MHz. Please prove your above...

    Nope. No problems with my Startech. The only "difference" between it and the 980ti output is the image is shifted to the left about 2 mm or so and I have to recenter in "Center" menu option (FW900) and, ofcourse 375MHz vs 400MHz.

    You must be lucky I guess. I have these splitters (Sunix and Delock) for a few years now and they are both buggy as hell. 2048x1536 shuts the signal to the monitor (it goes into standy) quite often. Then there's the sides swapping bug that occurs randomly on All resolutions. There are other...

    The Startech DP2VGAHD20 is the best converter out there. It can output a max pixel clock or around 375MHz which is more than 2400x1800 at 59Hz (362MHz) of your 62967. The Sunix and Delock variants of the splitter, although higher in max pixel clocks, are unstable on certain resolutions...

    I can confirm the Startech DOES NOT support 2304x1440@80Hz. You get white noise. That timing is above the 375MHz pixel limit of the converter. It can only saturate 21" 4:3 monitors with 131KHz horizontal bandwidth that you tipically use at a maximum of 2048x1536 80Hz like my Dell P1130. The...

    So far there are at least two Gembird A-HDMI-VGA-04 converters that use different chipsets from the one advertised on the box (CH7101), so I stand by my words.

    24" Widescreen CRT (FW900) From Ebay arrived,Comments.

    I said in my previous posts that the limit is 191 MHz not 270 MHz. I opened un my Gembird A-HDMI-VGA-04 and guess what? :) Not even a lowly CH7101. The chipset is CS5210. What a sham of a company!

    Very interesting! Can you contact Gembird about this? It would be great if they could replace all their hdmi->vga converters with this LK7112 chip!

    I already have two DPU3000s. The Sunix and Delock one. They are identical in their issues. 2048x1536 is unusable on both my F520 and Dell P1130 and that's my MAIN resolution; it's the desktop one (that's how sharp they are). Add to that the sides-swapping and occasional trembling/jitter on any...

    It It's irelevant anyway. The chipset in this crap converter is nowhere near close to 340MHz, let alone 600MHz. Do you know anything about the ICY BOX DPU 3000 variant? Does it still have the 2048x1536 issues and screen halves switching behavior like the original Sunix? Some say it's quite...

    Ok. To clarify things: I have three CRTs: Sony GDM-FW900, Sony GDM-F520 and Dell P1130. I have the following converters: Sunix DPU3000, Delock variant of DPU3000, Startech DP2VGAHD20 and Gembird A-HDMI-VGA-04. I use neither. Out of all of them the Startech is glitch free and can do everything up...

    How can this be? I took it out of the trash and tried 2048x1536 specifically. It can't do even 60Hz, let alone 86Hz! What about the Delock 62967? What was the highest pixel clock you could hit? I heard something like 2560x1600 60Hz max which is 248MHz. Please let us know about the Icy Box when...

    I took one for the team on this one. It's crap. It can only do 1920x1080 60Hz (173MHz) or 1280x800 140Hz (214MHz). All the resolutions I use on my FW900 starting from 1512x945 120Hz (252MHz) are not supported, so the limit is somewhere between 214MHz and 250MHz. It's in the trash bin now.

    The Startech DP2VGAHD20 tops out at about 370MHz which in the case of the resolutions I use is 2184x1365 85Hz (367.37MHz). But as you can see from the attached pic I use a lot more than that on my GTX 980Ti with the highest (limited by the videocard's 400MHz RAMDAC not monitor's horizontal...

    To be clear, I would NOT remove the coating if it were in perfect condition. Mine was mildly scratched, I removed it and never been more happy about it. I would not put anything back on again. I already posted pictures. See post 18175. Screen is off and all the lights in the room are on. I...

    Well, mine is only a bit warmer than room temperature. What I've found over the years is CRTs get hotter if your wall voltage is higher than normal. I keep my PC, monitors and audio DAC behind a voltage regulator that gives me 230V at all times.

    I believe this "coating vs no coating" thing is blown out of proportion. You get better text clarity and more vivid colors in a dark room. On the other hand the screen gets very reflective BUT the blacks, at least in my case, still look quite accurate even when all the lights in the room are on...

    It's safe, the FBTs are interchangeable. Besides, you don't have plenty of options if your FW900's FBT is screwed, as the chances of finding an NX-4504 AND, at the same time, virtually unused as is the case of my Dell's FBT are slim to none. The first thing I tried was to install the FW900's FBT...

    Hello, A while back you said you successfully used the FBT from a Dell P1110 into the GDM-FW900. I have both and the FW900's FBT needs replacement. Are you sure they're inter-changeable? They're different parts: FW900: NX-4504 P1110: NX-4502 Thank you!
