    ZX-HD HDMI Interface comparison with RGB connection

    I am really impressed with the ZX-HD interface; the games look great, IMO. i wanted to compare a ZX Spectrum connected to the TV via RGB with a ZX Spectrum connected to a monitor via HDMI using the ZX-HD interface. This would allow me to remove the TV on my main gaming desk, giving me more room.

    Note I didn’t optimise the visual settings on my monitor, so I bet I could get it looking even better. But I am so happy with it as is. Deffo will remove the TV.

    Details;
    – connected to the TV via RGB Scart Video Cable TV Lead (Retro Computer Shack)
    – connected to the monitor via a ZX-HD HDMI Interface (Bytedelight)
    – using a DivMMC Enjoy! PRO for media loading.(Bytedelight) Sinclair ZX Spectrum Retro Gaming Retro Computing

  • ZX-HD ZX Spectrum, finally

    ZX-HD ZX Spectrum, finally

    I waited a while for this, and in the end, had to buy the ‘ZX-HD’ and ‘Raspberry PI zero’ separately. This meant i had to fit the boards together, including soldering a header. I wasn’t looking forward to doing that as my soldering skills are non-existent. I get by, JUST.
    Thankfully although tricky and some ‘shit have a burnt the board’ moments, it works. A massive smile on my face.

    From what I read and watched, it allows connecting to HDMI and does a fantastic job. The best way atm so can connect to recent monitors/tv with amazing quality picture.
