Hi,
I bought on sunday a new TV (LG 42LF450-ZA) and connected the Dreamcast as first into the OSSC to VGA and then directly into the new TV. It didn’t solved the problem and it still had these horizontal, wavy square lines.

As you can see here:

When I put the VGA into my previous Toshiba LCD this issue didn’t appear. It only happened through the OSSC with VGA.

However, I could rid of the problem after I connected the audio phone connector to the OSSC <-> TV.
Weird somehow… maybe it has something to do with the shielding…

Everything is fine now and it works

Today I bought a LG 42LD450-ZA (the same model what you own) and somehow… I can’t get it to work.
The TV doesn’t want to connect with the OSSC 1.6 (no signal on the TV). Doesn’t matter what I do. I switched to different consoles, played around with the settings on the TV as well as on the OSSC – no changes.

The OSSC works flawless on the other LCD (2006 Toshiba).

The LG works fine, every HDMI-inputs works as it should, except this issue now.

From my understanding, it should work without any problems (at all) when you plug it in as HDMI <-> OSSC.

I have hooked up all consoles on three automatic Bandridge Scart devices and HDMI as output.

#edit: Seems like the HDMI handshake failed. However, after changing the TX-mode from HDMI to DVI seems to work. But I do not have sound yet.
Would it work with a HDMI-DVI or HDMI-VGA Adapter?

Do you, or anybody else have some ideas?

#edit: Even through the audio phone connector I could’nt get sound.

I used this one here:

#edit: WORKS! Didn’t noticed that little switch near the audio jack on the OSSC. Problem solved. I’ll post within the next upcoming days some informations about these two LCD’s here and how they work with the OSSC.

Thank you. May you tell me, which cable you are using? Maybe you have a link as well?

[Tanbao]

Damn! I thought something like that. Thanks for the tipps.
So I need to get another cable…. but there are tons out there. Before I buy one after another and spend lots of money do you have any recommendations?

I thought also, to get a Akura HDMI Box from beharbros…

And how to get rid of the problem? Another TV or cable? 🙁

[Tanbao]

I don’t know if it’s my TV’s fault or just the cable. It’s a simple VGA cable from ebay. If iz’s connected with my TV only, it’s fine.

Maybe a VGA -> Scart cable could solve the problem. Or ones from retrogamingcables…

Hi, I am using this thread, because I have the same problem. My Dreamcast is connected though VGA with the OSSC and it gives me some square lines all over the LCD. If it’s hooked up with the TV only, the picture is okay, just a bit blurry, but clean.

I tried it with the DC Wiki settings from junkerhq, but it didn’t solve the problem. Also, I don’t have any other cables to test with, only the VGA ones.

Any ideas?
