EDIT: Got the model today, it's a 27" NEC 4PG Multisync.

Hi I'm sort of a novice so sorry if something sounds noobish, but here's my question/problem...

In my broadcasting class there's this huge NEC multisync CRT that's about 27" or so(sorry didn't get the model name - but it's huge). It's not being used for anything and it's got all these great inputs on the back(BNC composite, BNC RGB, D-sub RGB, S-video...). So being the gamer I am I brought in my Dreamcast with a D-sub cable and hooked it up. I was going to play Ikaruga in 3:4 so I flipped it and fired it up. Unfortunately what I got was a split image - no flickering - just split, reversed, and with a black bar in between. Something like this:

At first I though it just needed degaussing, but that didn't change anything. Luckily I dug up an RCA-composite to BNC-composite cable nearby and kept it on its side. Sure enough it worked just fine - but looked like crap being composite on such a large TV. I tired playing around with the D-sub-RGB dip switches but to no avail as I had no clue what I was doing.

Anyone know what could be wrong? It's probably something simple, but it's beyond me and I have no clue what the proper term would be for this issue.

Would need the model number to be sure, but DC VGA is not far outside normal parameters of PC VGA and both should work if one does. Have you confirmed that your copy of Ikky works properly on another VGA monitor?

Watch out tate-ing a yoko monitor that isn't your own. ;)

Looking it up online it seems I was dead-on with the measurement guess! It's 27inches of CRT glory.

Anywho, I play Ikaruga regularly on my crappy viewsonic CRT all the time, so I know it's not the DC. hm...
