RE: Just joined, new old SGI user - Octane video question & Hello!
Welcome Jenna.

So I have actually confirmed some VGA adapters can handle HDMI upscaling/sync on green to use on a modern monitor. You can also compile VFOs to add custom resolutions, but the recommended thing to do is to pick up an older Dell 4:3 or 5:4 monitor with VGA. They tend to be good, as does AOC, Asus etc.

I'm not sure where the thread is right now but you can check through my post history and find it.

SGI.sh is run by some competitors of mine and we have unfortunately a rather strained/difficult relationship over differences in how the place is run. However we generally tend to be more active in my experience and we have a significant presence of the old guard here from Nekochan days, without the greybearding and unhelpfulness that was often a problem there. There's no worries with you mentioning them here but they have a tendency to act like you said Voldemort in the Harry Potter universe when you mention us there.
