Nothing crazy, just after a decent 4k display mainly for use with the OSSC… So main concern is compatibility with all modes. Size probably somewhere between 40 and 55 inches. Stuff like 10-bit panel and HDR would be handy for future proofing I guess. I haven’t looked at TV’s in a while…. Any good deals? Wonder how those UK TCL TV’s handle the OSSC.

Any recommendations for a current 4K TV in the UK, compatible with all modes of the OSSC? Ideally good bang for your buck!

Yeah that’s TTL level csync going into the OSSC, which is bad. Over time it could reduce the life span of various components in the OSSC.

You’ll need to look up the updated spec and modify the cable to include the appropriate resistor/capacitor…a lot of the time its around a 470Ohm resistor and a 220uF 16V cap in series on the sync line in the SCART head.

You could always email Rob in RetroGamingCables and ask him to fix it/replace it?

Has anyone tested the LG UJ630V 2017 4kTV? in particular the 49″ model. I’m in the market for a new 4K TV for OSSC and PS4 Pro gaming….in and around the £400 mark!

There is also the new TCL 4K TV’s coming out soon in Europe, the DP648 looks good also as is around the same price as the LG.

@papercut, are you referring to my comment on the Samsung 1220.7 firmware for the KS series of 4k TV’s?

If so, do you have that firmware installed, and do all the lines modes work with it with those consoles that you listed?

[eric90000]

Any Samsung KS7000/8000 users here try the latest Samsung firmware with the OSSC??? (1220.7 [2018.04.11] at the time of writing this).

I’ve heard reports where it can actually affect OSSC compatibility. My KS7000 currently works great with all line modes, I’m afraid to upgrade in case it breaks something!

I actually tried to use the original connector shield but it was an awkward fit…I ended up using some hot glue but it’s only to give the connector a shape, if you did all the soldering correctly there’s no issue with it. Using it into a gcompsw which runs into the OSSC and works flawlessly.

I’ve wondered about the optical audio out on the original Microsoft breakout box…has anyone compared the analogue stereo with it?

[eric90000]

If you can source a genuine XBOX 360 component cable (thick grey wires, usually pretty easy to find and cheap too) you can make your own high quality original XBOX component cable….all you need to do is cut the connector off and solder on the XBOX one.

I did it a good while back and it’s been working great ever since….I’ve had really bad luck with those cheap Chinese cables on eBay.

Here’s the video I followed for making the cable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8jFJjoIO8s

Ahh yes, I never really considered playing the offending titles on the PS3….I have the luxury of a PSIO you see, and the PS1 looks amaze on the OSSC. I might just use PS3! thanks

What is the current best way to deal with the 240p > 480i transition dropout? Only thing I can think of is use a CRT 🙁

Does anyone know what the correct ‘Colour Space’ setting should be on a Samsung 4k TV, when using the OSSC? Tested with a Genesis in Lx5 mode:

‘Auto’ – Slightly brighter than Native setting, seems like there’s a slight yellow tint to the image. Looks a bit more natural to my eyes than the intense colours of Native setting.
‘Native’ – Colours are more saturated looking and it’s a little bit darker to my eyes. Reds are very red, greens are very green etc…

On my KS7000 I had to set “Allow TVP HPLL2x” to OFF, and “H-PLL Pre-Coast” AND “H-PLL Post-Coast” to 3 on the OSSC to stop sync dropouts.

However….all my systems now work flawlessly on stock OSSC settings……no idea why lol

Voultar has made an exciting discovery regarding the 1-CHIP ghosting/vertical bar issue. It seems to be as simple as replacing an SMD capacitor. Lifting pin 155 on the CPU looks to be totally avoidable in terms of fixing this issue:

Try a full reset of the OSSC settings, that’s fixed some stuff for me in the past!

[eric90000]

I can only speak firsthand for my own console (NTSC SNES mini w/ Voultars THS7374 bypass), but I have heard others report the same ghosting issue on PAL 1-CHIP consoles too. The amount of ghosting even also varies between different consoles of the same type. I can see it pretty bad on my setup, as it’s outputted from the OSSC in 1080p to a 55″ 4K TV. I’d imagine bigger screens make it look worse. I tested it on a tiny RGB CRT though and I can still see it.
