I compared the score outputs of the Genos and the S970 and found that the score output scaling on the S970 is slightly smoother than the Genos, with slightly less noticeable jaggedness. Here is how the LG monitor displayed the 800x480 resolution video output of the S970: Here is the 800x480 screen captured directly on the S970: There are some subtle differences on how these 2 monitor handle the 800x480 resolution video input from Genos, but they are so small that we can simply ignore them and assume them to be identical.Īs a comparison, I loaded the same MIDI song on PSR-S970, which has screen display very similar to the Tyros. Here is the picture I took on the LG monitor: Here is the picture I took on the Dell monitor: I selected a MIDI song "Bridge over troubled water" on Genos, here is the 800x480 screen captured directly on Genos: I had a Dell S2240T 21.5-Inch touch screen monitor on the music stand of Genos, and a LG 24MP88HV-S 24-Inch IPS monitor on a standalone heavy duty music stand just above the Dell monitor: Since we cannot change the way how Genos scales its 800x480 resolution to 1920x1080 external display resolution, I ran some tests on 2 different external monitors using the same Plugable USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI display adapter (DL-165) to see how these monitors handle the 800x480 video output of Genos. I do not own any Tyros before, so I assume the Tyros resolution of external display output is also 800x480. You like the way how your Tyros 4 scaled 800x480 to 1920x1080, but do not like how your Genos scaled 800x480 to 1920x1080, whereas the guy in the other forum likes how Genos scales its external display output better than the Tyros. The fact that you are not satisfied with the score screen is due to the scaling of 800x480 display output of Genos to your external 1920x1080 display. I have USB 2.0 display adapters with DL-165 and DL-195 and could not tell any difference on 1920x1080 external monitors for Genos. The display output of Genos, and PSR-S970, which I both own, is 800x480, which is supported by DL-165 and DL-195. There is no difference in the output / scaling between the DisplayLink DL-165 and DL-195 chipsets - they are the same design with a slight difference of highest resolution each supports:

They were looking good, but it didn't shows the score screen. In another topic 'ZIONIP' has tested a few adapters and even posted some pictures. I am only interested in the look of the score screen (the other screens are not important for me on the external monitor. So on another forum somebody uses a 'I-TEC USB2VGA' adapter (DL-165), and for him the screen is even better than with the Tyros serie.Ĭould the used adapter be the cause of the difference ?Īre there members who could confirm that there is a difference between adapters that are used (DL-165, DL-195)? It's all about the look, definition, readability. That the 'cursor' is not following the score is known, so that is not my issue. It is not as good as it was with my Tyros 4 and the normal VGA connection. It uses the DL-195 chipset and is compatible with Yamaha Genos.īut I am not satisfied about the score screen. To be able to read the score on an external monitor i bought me a 'I-TEC DISPLAY ADPTER TRIO'.
