1084s Monitor as a preview video monitor on PC. Possible?

I see. Thanks for the link. As you mentioned, basically I am trying to connect my IBM ThinkPad, with various emulators (SEGA, SNES, MAME, NEO.GEO, etc.) running on Win XP, and connect it to my 1084S-D1 monitor.

I don't understand why you are not just using the S-VIDEO output on your Thinkpad to go to the 1084.  Why buy an expensive VGA to [whatever analogue NTSC mode] converter when the Thinkpad already converts its video to S-VIDEO NTSC analogue?

All you need is a $5 S-VIDEO to dual RCA (Chroma/Luma) cable and connect that to the appropriate connectors on the back of the 1084.

Note:

Do NOT merge the two RCA outputs together.  You lose the advantage of S-VIDEO this way (unless you really want a more smeared retro composite video look).

No even if I use software 15khz or similar software?

You do realize that the signal output by your ThinkPad's S-VIDEO port is already 15KHz, right??

This 15KHz software you speak of probably only affects the timing of the VGA port.
