RGB output differences on +2 and +2a/b +3
I've got a 37" LG 1080p lcd tv (37LH7000) I'd hooked up my +3 to it and it displays a clear picture (colourwise) however each column looks like it's been rotated by a few pixels ans theres a black vertical line amost on the edge of the right hand side of the screen. It's the same for my +2a/b.
On any crt is displays clearly and very crisp. I know what you're thinking that the tv can't handle the rgb signal please wait for the punchline.
Anyway I was doing a composite mod on a speccy last night and was about to add a zaxon ay to it (thanks Rich!!!) and I had a little brainwave. From previous experience i knew that the scart lead (even though it's wired for my +3) will pass the picture through from my toastracks and my grey +2's I just need to mute a tv cause of the noise. Anyhoo I plugged in via the scart and hey presto a perfectly clear picture, well as best as can be expected.
The tv channel says that the signal (in all cases) is coming through as 50htz 576i. So my question is what is the difference between the RGB output on a 128k+/grey +2 and the +2a/b/+3's?
I'm just glad I can hook up a real machine again. My weapon of choice used to be my 48k with dual opus discovery drives then my +3 cause of the drive. Now I have a DivIDE+ I started to use my +2b cause it was black and doesn't have the noise distortion of my +3.
However I'm now drifting towards my grey +2 because at least I can play Cobra from my DivIDE+!!!
