Yeah, a subject beaten to death for a long time around here, but I still want it.
I'm building myself a new updated CMVS and I don't want it to rely on
Component or VGA as it's best output. Yeah it'll have regular RGB out
for an OSSC or PVM, but there are times when you want to take it
somewhere, or don't always have all the adapters and special screens to
play it properly. Also, I have a feeling that finding TVs with anything
but HDMI is going to be increasingly hard, my current TV has component,
but stuff like LG C9's are HDMI only with one funky composite port.
Obviously there are all manner of cheapo chinese *anything*->HDMI
adapters on amazon and ebay, but most of them are crap or laggy. I want
something good. The two main options seem to be the RAD2X, which sounds
great and easy. They seem to be all out of stock at the moment, but I'm
in no rush. Other solution is obviously a NeoVGA/Beharbros VGA line
doubler. Except that those only do Component and VGA, which still isn't
as widely accepted. Is the RAD2X the best option? or would it be worth
converting VGA to HDMI somehow?
There seem to be the same slew of cheap VGA->HDMI adapters out there,
but I really don't know enough about the conversion to know if it's
easy, or these all half-ass it and it's going to look awful.
I want this to be a complete one box solution, no external dongles or
adapters so ideally any converters will be popped out of their enclosure
and integrated into the unit.
