VGA -> HDMI adapter

Post by DominoTree »

I picked up a Kanex VGARLHD adapter (http://www.kanexpro.com/item/?id=VGARLHD) at the store to try and get my new MIST to work with my LCDs but I'm getting no video output. I know the MIST works and has properly booted into TOS.

The displays I've tried so far are Dell U2415b and LG 27UD68-P. I'd really like to get the LGs to work so I can keep my MIST at my desk.

Can anyone help point me in the direction of a good adapter/converter to try? Or is the problem more likely my displays?

Thanks!
New ST hardware shop: https://5vsupply.com
The family: 14MB Falcon030 w/240GB SATA SSD, 32MHz 4MB STe, 4MB MEGA with Genlock, 4MB MEGA with TF536 68030 + 64MB, 4MB STf, 1MB 520ST - mostly running EmuTOS, with FreeMiNT on the Falcon.

There is no universal "adapter" exists. You need a scaler. And even scalers are far from perfect. So, for MiST you need to find a monitor supporting all these non-standard videos.
