Hi,
I've been doing research on the best monitors to use for gaming, and I keep hearing that the PVM monitors are the best. I'm looking at using it with some old systems including the original Magnavox Odyssey. Now, the Odyssey uses a dual-lead old school antenna type connection, but I found this adapter to convert the twin lead to regular coax. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The PVM monitor that I'm looking at only has BNC type connectors. If I use a coax to BNC connector will that be enough? Since the Odyssey broadcasts on channel 3 or 4 I'm worried that a monitor with no TV tuner won't be able to pick up on the signal. Does anyone know if this will work?
EDIT: Since originally posting I've discovered that it won't work. I need a demodulator. However, I can't find a demodulator with a BNC connector or even one with an S-video connector, which is the other type of connection that this monitor accepts. However, i can find a demodulator with RCA outputs. The question is that if I go through the twin-lead coax converter and then a demodulator am I going to have a loss of signal quality that makes getting the PVM monitor not with it? Should I just get a Trinitron TV and where I only to go through the twin-lead to coax conversion?
I swear that this twin-lead connector is such a hassle that I'm going to design my own twin-lead demodulator just so that old school gamers don't have to deal with this sort of mess.
