I have a RGB cable for my SNES that basically has a DB-15 type connector on it, and I know that there are quite a few projectors that will sync with 15.75khz, so decided to plug it right in and see what happened. Well, it worked, sort of. I got a nice clean RGB picture, but the screen is cut off on the left side, and also on the top. So, when you play certain games, there are health bars or indicators that you can only see part of it, so it makes it a bit more difficult. I'm not really sure why the image is cutoff like that.
It might have to do with the fact that this is a 16:9 projector. It does have a 4:3 mode, so I would put it in the 4:3 mode, and it looks more natural that way, but again, maybe 1/8th of the screen, from the left side, is not displayed. 1/9th of the screen from the top is not displayed either. The right side of the screen, and the bottom of the screen seem perfectly fine.
Anyways, I need to mess with it some more, but based on what I've seen so far, I think I can live with this, rather than having a ginormous CRT projector in my house.
