Re: [Ql-Users] Connecting a QL to a VGA Monitor

Hi everyone, thanks to Miguel's example I ordered a GBS-8220 rgb converter from jammaboards.com. I received the unit yesterday ten days after ordering and managed to build a cable and try it out. 512x256 works fine. Unfortunately my Samsung display has a 1280x1024 native resolution with no

Hi Miguel, The monitor used was a PS/1 VGA one, and I did take a photo (phone camera) of the thing connected to a standard QL running in MODE 4. This is what I saw: http://www.atc.us.es/~rodriguj/ql_composite_to_vga.jpg Thank you. It seems that part of the screen is cut off :-( Also the

Thierry, a video converter is certainly doable. Instead of 640x480, I would use 1024x768 and double/triple the 512x256 QL pixels. Timings would require an individual (automatic) adjustment, and a facility to save the result in a non-volatile manner. Such a converter would require an FPGA and

Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether this would work - and could it be used to connect to a more modern SVGA? I'm afraid it won't work at all. It's a real pity modern SVGA's don't do multisync as in the good old days :( On the other way, I've managed to work it out using a
