Hi yo, it's me just wanted to ask if anyone has ever use a plasma Production monitor to play arcade games.
I think it looks great, but I'm not sure if I have it set up correctly, I have only tried the naomi so far.
but I have a GBS-8200 that I'm going to try next to see if it makes a difference. Maybe some other games. But I'm Not sure what settings I should use on the noami, 15KHz or 31KHz? Will that make a difference?
If so how do I change it ? I just plugged it in and it work so far .... maybe the setting are already where they are supposed to be?
Im using vga cable from naomi to monitor
RCA for audio to a receiver STRDH190
With a MAS supergun
I got the plasma monitor from my neighbor down the street for $200.00
He works for a production company

Since this monitor can do 31khz, Naomi looks a lot better in 31khz because in 15khz, it's interlaced.

On the Naomi, there is a dipswitch to change from 15khz to 31khz. I don't know it off the top of my head though.
And good luck finding your X2.

Stick with 31khz, and 4:3 aspect ratio. The latter is accurate to the original aspect ratio for the NAOMI. And avoid the GBS- it's not needed as NAOMI can go from VGA straight to the monitor, and adding a GBS isn't going to make it better.
 
Thanks for the info 🙂
And yes the GBS actually made it worse
