A Tim Worthington NES RGB board can output S-video and component video encoded from RGB.
For those who CRT is not an option, The NES RGB board works with a number of scallers and external video processors
Another alternative is Kevtris’ HDMI NES Board, which is supposed to go on sale on gametech.us on the 16th.
I am assuming the price is $110 -$120 not including shipping or any any on options for the DIY kit.
As far as I’m aware, the component cables won’t work with a PS1. The console doesn’t support it.
Correct the component cables will not work the PS1, but Scart cables will.
There are RGB Scart Cables for the system and get a RGB Scart to Componet video adapter (or what ever you want to adapt Scart RGB into).
So, I just saw a Samsung Quantum Dot display at Costco today. Sadly, they’re pushing the curved display shit, too. Still nice to see another tech on the market already. I didn’t think QD was out already.
I never liked the curved display thing. It’s like the whole 3D TV thing. 3D’s been around since before I was born and I’m 34. There just gimmicks to see what they can sell you.
Agreed 110%.
I don’t even think this 4K thing is even worth wild. Or at least till media catched up with the larger display standard.
How big of a display you need to take advantage of the finer details? With 4K you need easily a 50" or even bigger, maybe 70" to really notice.
Its like having a 1080p Smart phone, the screen so small you never pick out the fine details.
Unless you are sitting real close to the monitor you can’t even take advantage of 720p unless you got 25"-30"
Yeah once you get to like 4k the human eye can’t notice the difference. And like you said on phones even more. Some phones now even having 1440p screens. All that really does is just burn battery faster.
With movie film isn’t it infinite resolution? Stuff like 1080p and 4k (2160p) have been around for a lot longer than people think. I haven’t even seen one 4k bluray in a store yet. I do know netflix has some 4k content like tv shows.
Oh please, not the “the human eye can only see” thing again. It took years for people stop saying the human eye could only see 30fps, and I’m not looking forward a repeat of that with resolutions.
4K resolution still a young and developing media, not much supports it yet. Only high end Gaming PCs and 4K enabled Bluray players.
At this time I don’t see it worth the expense unless you are a early adopter type and/or a technophile.
Until recently 4k was limited to 30fps, The current HDMI standards only supports 4K at 30Hz.
You will have to use DisplayPort for 60fps. The 4K Blurays are elusive. I am sure that 4k video streaming kills internet bandwith.
I remember at best buy putting my face right against the screen of a 70" 4K screen and I have a hard time seeing individual pixels like I could with any other large format display.
Yeah I see where I made a mistake in my post. I should have said the human eye can’t notice a difference in 1080p vs 4k at a certain distance. And yeah I’m still learning about this stuff.
I should go to best buy and check out 4k. I’ve never even seen it.
For 60 fps, I thought some displays could use 2 HDMI cables instead of DisplayPort? It sounds like HDMI might be on the way out, assuming everything will transition to 4k.

You can get 4k at 60 fps now.
Curved TV = bs. We all went flat for a reason years ago, because it doesn’t have geometry errors. Now throw up a cross hatch on a curved TV and enjoy curved geometry. It’s going to give UI artists nightmares about their work being imperfect.
3DTV is actually good though. Not a gimmick until you try it. Nvidia 3D vision makes a pretty huge difference when you’re playing games. Of course this is something you’d need a powerful enough PC to do.
4k content isn’t a thing yet, gaming at 4k takes enormous resources to run at decent frame rates, and on top of that any 4k content Netflix puts out is going to be compressed to hell and back and then to hell again, so it won’t look better than a 1080p bluray at the moment. Comcast still can’t do 1080p without high compression. What the fuck are they going to do for 4k?
Although, because of 4k, we finally can get HDMI and bluray bandwidth ready for High Frame Rate 3D Bluray. My eyeballs are ready.
Also, did more reading up on quantum dots. It’s basically the same shit as LCD. Uses back and edge lights just like em. Fuck QD.
Not much supports HDMI 2.0b yet. Its worst with earlier model 4K TVs.
There also a concern with 4K HDR, there two competing standards one open source and one is priority.
Its basically an expanded color pallet outside of the NTSC color gambit. Some 4K displays support nether, which is more Bullshit you have to look into and not just the display lag.
4K enabled consoles and Video cards are most likely pick one or the other and hope you get lucky.
3D TV is garbage and its a gimmick. It gives me headaches after prolong viewing.
HDR is just another color standard. A TV either has it, or it doesn’t. It doesn’t matter because video material is not mastered for HDR yet, and still mastered for the current color gamut we have. There is a conversion mode, but it doesn’t work well and you can’t put information in a source that doesn’t have the information in the first place.
3D fucking rocks. It’s not a gimmick. It might give you a headache, but plenty of people use stuff like Occulus VR just fine. 3DTV is simply another method if seeing true depth in 3D space. I’m starting to wonder if you’ve really played any games in 3D, lol.
Now you are sounding like Ki Shima.
You care about HDR when if you game on the Xbox One S and Scorpio and possibly the PlayStation 4 Neo.
The Consoles are most likely support one standard and not the other. It would suck if you can’t take full advantage of your consoles High Dynamic-Range (HDR) Rendering Support.
