Title: Cable for X68k Sharp Monitor
Post by: opooly on May 04, 2024, 03:24:12 PM
Hi guys,

I'm looking to buy a cable for my coming Sharp monitor and I'm wondering if buying a simple db15 MM will work.
They are really cheap on Aliexpress: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005615990407.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.5d2b378d4uQhW9&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra

Any feedback much appreciated

Yes, it should work. I use this one on Amazon for my Sharp monitor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O07653K

Are those properly shielded though? You never know with aliexpress products. I guess since the cable length is limited interference might not be so bad even if the quality is poor.

Good point.
Cost is very low si I give it a try, if it's too bad I'll order a better quality one.

Now that I'm using my x68k with the original monitor I would like to use the TV Control feature.
I saw the cable is CZ-6CT1, anyone know the pinout or the reference of a compatible cable that I can use?

Thanks

It's just a DIN-8 cable, you can buy them anywhere. I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0794WSGN9/

Thanks, I'll order the same!
Except shutting down the monitor with the computer, it this allowing something else?
