mr_me Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 VGA does use an RGB color space but it typically scans over 31kHz. The Intellivision video is about 15kHz. And as charonpdx points out, vga typically has separate horizontal and vertical sync signals on two pins. RGB mods usually send a composite sync on one wire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intelligentleman Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) 9 hours ago, CharonPDX said: Be careful - red/green/blue RCA jacks on US TVs tend to be Y/Pb/Pr component video, not RGB. (In spite of using red/green/blue plugs.) Y/Pb/Pr is *NOT* compatible with RGB, and would require conversion. The VGA port, on the other hand, can usually accept RGB with a simple cable. Usually, but not always - some VGA inputs don't accept NTSC RGB timings, or require the separate sync signal that actual computer VGA provides. Yeah it's odd. When I pull up the input menu on the TV, it lists the following options: TV, AV, Component, RGB, and HDMI. Maybe they intended the RGB port to be used along with a computer.

Sinjinhawke Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Just saw a Tower of Doom boxed with manual and 4 overlays go for over $200 with shipping. No rush. I'm in this for the fun, not to complete my set at any cost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonlikesINTV Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I'm guessing the overlays helped, but that's pricey. Thunder Castle and Diner also seen high lately. They are getting a little harder to find. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brown has since been sold but the 3 blue are still available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
