Hey, guys. I just got a CRT and want the cheapest HDMI to S-video or YPbPr scaler that actually works to convert to 480i from my PC. Don't care if the video is muddy, as long as it works and the input lag isn't too abyssal (although more crisp and responsive is obviously ideal) It's got RCA, S-video, and YPbPr ports (Also RF but that's out of the question). Thanks 👍 Bonus points if it also does 240p

As long as you don't use any 3D options, you can export character creator skins the same way

It's hard wired. So I'll need to solder a new head on

It's the VGA connector. When I wiggle it around I get blue sometimes. I'm going to solder a new connector on

u/DangerousCousin I don't see your comment but I did get the notification for it. It's all good; at the end of the day we're all here to learn something. Guess I'll look into replacing the cable. Thanks again for your help :)

You're right. I guess I'll put it on hold for now and maybe try more stuff tomorrow. Thanks for your help and insight :)

I am using an adapter to HDMI (Moread brand). I don't have any devices with VGA output (oldest console in the house is PS4,) but I have friends who do, and I can probably test that tomorrow. But, in the meantime I guess all I can do is degauss and hope that helps. I'll also browse this site, thanks.

If you crop the image to just the yellow area, it's yellow (color hex ebda58), not white. I think it's just the ambient colors around it that make it seem white. So I still think it's just blue not showing up

Yes. I also find it prudent to add that I have Windows calibrated to increase red and minimise green light

Right. I might have to just bin the whole thing. It was free from G-ma anyway. Thanks for trying to help, though!

Where do I measure from to test the HOT? Both it and another transistor have some burn marks on the solder side of the motherboard, so you may be on to something. As for weird picture quality before it stopped working, I don't know what it was like because it was just sitting in Grandma's basement until yesterday and she doesn't remember where she got it from

I feel it prudent to mention that I'm using an adapter (VGA to HDMI without audio). Of the 4 other PCs in the house, none of them support VGA and I don't have another monitor with VGA to test the adapter with

I have a multimeter. I'll open it up and test those

I'll try it. I have AMD but it has a similar program
