The New Definitive HDTV Lag FAQ

I am pretty sure that the SFIV Vewlix cab uses a Sanwa spec 720p lcd screen. Suppose a low response screen.

^thats what i thought. it is sanwa…

THe only time i know of that the japs used LCD monitors was for gods garden tournament.

Those were LG’s.

They are commercial grade LG screen. I have the model # somewhere, I’ll post it when i find it.

yes, it connected via VGA, that’s how the taito typex2 board is connected to the monitor.

correct the SF4 vewlix uses sanwa monitors. There is a lower end vewlix that uses GTT monitors which has the same spec as the sanwa monitors.

The GTT screen vewlix are the ones that you see running blazblue at the arcade(theres one at svgl).
they supposedly very similar to the LG commercial display.

Nope they are used on the New delta cabinets. There are new universal HD cabinet thats made in japan. A cheaper alternative than the Vewlix. Those are what you see at golfland.

i really need to find a good 30-32" for my custom vewlix.
im gonna run hdmi->dvi cable from a ps3…need a “lagless” monitor.
pshh wish me luck.

Looking at the LG spec you’ve cited, it looks like they are native 720p screens.

As I understand it, SFIV is a 720p game. If a screen is running at its native resolution, its going to have reduced input lag right off the bat irrespective of any other favourable specifications.

This is something I’d be very interested to find out :slight_smile:

^^^ I’m with you

any1 find that LG model number yet?

On ps3 yes.
360 version is 1080p

im gonna run ps3 in my custom vewlix cabinet so this monitor would be ideal

I was talking about the taito typex2 that is running 720p.

and both ps3 and xbox 360 also runs 720p.

The LG monitor is just the commercial version of the consumer modesl, which means no speakers/bezel/stands/TV tunner. Most likely the panel is the same as the 32LG30DC or 32lh20 or any 720p equivalent model.

here’s the monitor specs of the Vewlix L (lower end vewlix)

32?W TFT LCD
WXGA(1366*768) Resolution
High Contrast Ratio - 1100:1
Fast Response Time:8ms(G/G)
Wide Viewing Angle : 178?(H)/178?(V)
Display Area 697.7 * 392.3 mm
Pixel Number 1366 * RGB * 768
Display Colors 16.7 M
Contrast Ratio(Typ.) 1,100
Brightness 500 Cd/?
Input Signal Analog RGB, DVI-D(Optional)
Dimension(HxVxD) 774 x 474 x 112.5 mm

Next week I should be able to do my ultimate SF4 monitor test/Myth Buster
…should I start a new tread?

The 360 can scale to 1080p through hardware, but it’s not the games native res.

Damn… this discussion just got interesting again. I wonder how much of a loan I’d require to buy one of these displays. :lol:

.

Like I said…I’ll be spicing things around…and I ain’t messin’ around
trust me, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet…

Might as well keep it here mate as this thread is established and has a following.

Though for those perhaps not following things in here, maybe take your post and create a standalone thread also. There’s often gems buried within lengthy threads that some folks never find out about.

LG 32LH20 happens to be on sale for 399.99. perfect.
thank you sir. i dont think this set has DVI though.

That is because TV now a days uses HDMI instead of DVI due to HDCP.
Most source wont allow HD contents without HDMI/HDCP.

You don’t want a tv that has a native resolution of 1366x768, cause the TV might claim to do 720 and 1080, it’s just the 768 either upscaled or downscaled, which some tvs sadly do.

well…the taito typex2 arcade board is running sf4 at 720p and using a 768 monitor…

meh…some1 please tell me he is wrong.

well, clearly any TV that’s 1366x768 and is displaying 720p content (1280x720) it is either stretching/resampling 720p to a different resolution (the TV resolution) OR it is displaying it in true 1:1 pixel, but with bars all the way around the edge of the screen.

most 720p displays(if not all) are 1366x768 anyways and what the point of having a 1920x1080(1080p) on a 32" screen? and so far most games are running 720p.

If there is scaling, it should be minimal compare to a 720p game scaling to 1920x1080.

1366x768 is used for 1080i displays.
1280x720 is used for 720p displays.
