JaguarGod Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I recently picked up a few Viewsonic NextVision N4 video processors and tried my Jaguars on a few of my computer monitors. It seemed to work best on my LCD monitors and had only a few problems. I experienced the most problems with Zero5. Has anyone else tried this video processor? The graphics look decent, though a bit dull on some of the older monitors, and the monitors are in 1024 X 768 giving you full view of the Jaguars "jaggy edge" graphics. You can switch between resolutions easily and it comes with a remote which makes things a lot easier. I have now hooked up my BattleSphere, Doom and Aircars (yeah, I know Aircars isn't that good networked) networks utilizing more of these N4 video processors and it is working out failry well. Granted, most of the monitors being used are not very good. But it does the job. My wife and daughters and I are having fun playing networked BattleSphere. The older they get, the more they enjoy getting blown up in the BattleSphere. The more BattleSphere, the Better!!!

Gunstar Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Can you elaborate a little? What is this "N4" video processor supposed to do? What is it for exactly? Why use one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarGod Posted August 8, 2003 Author Share Posted August 8, 2003 I have a bunch of 19" and 21" monitors along with a few flat panel monitors that I no longer use and this is a good way to put them to use. Here is a link for the Nextvision N4 video processor. http://www.viewsonic.com/products/video_bo...extvisionn4.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Thanks. Sounds interesting, but it didn't explain it quite enough for me. The interlaced to progressive scan is definately a plus, but can this thing actually use an HDTV broadcast signal, or is it merely taking the 480i broadcast signal and displaying it on a monitor? I'd buy one today if can recieve HDTV signals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsoper Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I keep getting tempted to buy one of those Viewsonic converters. The wife has a PC with 19inch moniter in the gameroom and it sure would be nice to play games on it (with two polk speakers too!) The Amazon reviews make it sound pretty decent, especially compared to other upscan converters, but not as good as a nice s-video or better tv. Guess my main problem is I don't want my three 1702 monitors to become obsolete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
