I tried searching and didn't find anything, so sorry if this has been asked.

Has the 19" LCD Vision Pro been tested to work with MCR games, specifically Spy Hunter? My Spy Hunter is extremely picky when it comes to monitors, and so far the only success I've had is using GO7s in it. My latest monitor died, and I'm wondering if that LCD has been tested and what kind of results have been noted.

I have used GO7s, 4900s, 4600s and Vision Pros in Spyhunters in the past and have had no sync issues. Never tried a LCD.
 
When I've tried a Vision Pro I've had some artifacts and sync problems. The Beston-Imperial Kortek had similar issues. I've yet to try a 4900, I might have to give that a shot. Still want to know about that LCD though...
 
I believe MCR games have an odd Vertical Refresh Rate which is why Multisync and digital monitors have trouble with them. I would think LCDs are unlikely to work for the same reason, but there may be one out there I suppose.

To my surprise it actually works. Looked really bad at first but after some adjustments it looks OK.

Pic to come shortly... The game is a Tron BTW. Not that it matters that much.

Ghosting is thanks to the camera.

Awesome. Be sure to post the model number for the LCD.
 
I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow. I'm pretty sure its a Kortek something or other though. Wasnt cheap either. I think it was $399 or something along those lines. I got two of them when I was building my test bench. They can do CGA/EGA/VGA and std computer resolutions although I cant get them to work on EGA as of yet.
 
Got a tube monitor handy to take pictures of with the same game?

Really love to compare the pics.
 
OK. Never heard of this brand before. I'm guessing that its a re-branded Billabs.

Game Display GD-S19-63(T). I bought them from Betson about 2 years ago.

Heres the pics of the game on a CRT (k4900 with a new tube) as asked for.

put a 4900, K7000 or G07 in it and have a beautiful monitor.

if you have your old monitor post a pic of the chassis and get it repaired.

Not sure about a K7000 in one but I know the 4600 works as well.
 
Not what I asked..
What lcds will work with a Tron.?
I don't have any monitors for it and no one around here will sale any.
 
Really?
Why the smart ass comment?
It's not funny..it's not helpful. .it's fact I find hurtful
I thought people where support and help others here but am sure seeing the opposite.

Umm VAPS (Vintage Arcade PRESERVATION Society)

Putting an lcd in a game is NOT preserving it, when there are still plenty of crt's around. If you can't find any you're not looking or trying hard enough.

And thin skin?
