I’ve always been a fan of Sony products. Not their gaming consoles all of the time, but their other products have always treated me right. I even liked my old mini disc player. I agree. I watched all those movies I mentioned on my honorable mentions using Trinitron TVs. They always had the best blacks, the best contrast, and the best white balance. |

I find this conversation interesting, but isn't Balder converting the signal to HDMI? Yeah I am, but it doesn't have any lag what so ever. Instead of upscaling it to 1080p, the OSSC doubles the pixels. You can end up with some weird resolutions, but as long as your TV accepts the signal, it looks amazing. Then why the big discussion over RGB? |

Talking about RGB is natural when discussing upscalers as it's a natural upgrade to get when getting one. |

Fuck yeah! When Dan E. Kool and I can agree on something, you know it's true! Either that or it's a sign that the End Times are upon us. |

That mod does look awesome. I wonder why they have separate cords for RGB instead of just a simple SCART cable. Maybe it is easier to separate the output than to put it together into one cord?

I was at a gathering with my nephews yesterday, and one of them (who is a young teenager), is obsessed with computing. At one point, he asked me about whether or not I care about RGB. I told him, "not anymore, but I find it interesting that you care about retro computing." I don't think he understood me, so he continued to talk about people's obsession with RGB. Confused, I asked him if we were talking about the same thing. I then realized he was talking about RGB LED light strips for all things on a gaming rig. I explained to him what RGB inputs/outputs were, and after feeling stupid for a second, I realized the generations had a come together for a moment.

dschult3 - Hahaha, it would never even cross my mind that people discuss RGB LED light strips! Now, when I hear RGB, I'll take care to not sound like a grandpa talking about weird cables and connections.

Balder, if that’s even your real name, is your OSSC still treating you right? I know it’s a little out of style right now but I picked up a non Chinese one on the cheap and wanna see how you still feel about it.

The one that has the board sandwiched between some plexiglass or something. I also got a 30 case of Keystone Light, a few pre rolls of the devil’s lettuce, and my Judas Priest mixtape, but that’s beside the point. |

They have Sabaton with them on the tour. |
