Emagin had a dual input addon for the Z800 last year, I can only assume they are now including it as part of the package.

Well its certainly not with the Nvidia driver. Probably IZ3D but in what mode, I don't know. Maybe its the dual input version like Palmer suggested.

its almost 2000$ now and the dual vga version is now 2500$. Do you remember how much the dual vga addon was?

1)i have heard somewhere that z800 cannot downscale to 800x600@60Hz...you get black screen...is it so ?

2) Can it upscale from VGA input [from display source] of 640x480@60Hz to 800x600@60Hz to display the image ? has anybody tried that ?

please somebody reply and clarify...

The visor cannot scale any resoloution. It only accepts 800x600 @ 60hz. The reason he is offering the converter boxes is so you can input other resoloutions to the converter box and have the box feed the visor 800x600 @ 60 hz.

the converter box [control box] does not do down-scaling from hiher than 800x600@60Hz you get black screen - this fact i know already...

1)Now the million dollar question - can the control box accept VGA 640x480@hz to display as 800x600@60Hz on visor...(upscaling to 800x600@60hz) ?

2)another million dollar question - how about VGA (780x480)/(780x576)@50hz - can the control box accept this signal to upscale to VGA 800x600@60hz - what if the input signal [VGA (780x480)/(780x576)@50hz] is pregressive and NOT interlaced ?

this only the z800 user can answer - i guess...

I think we are best keeping emagin on the ignore list where they belong.

Suggest me a great gaming laptop and affordable as well ... if you know...?
i came across acer 4520 being auctioned only to know that it's below average 3d gaming laptop ..
and also 3d shooter games like quake and racing stuff that's compatible with z800....time to invest in some serious hardware...

The Asus G50 and G51 can be found very cheaply, one of the best deals for a gaming laptops, in my opinion. I got my G51 for $600 on eBay with one year warranty, refurbished. 4gb RAM, 2.13ghz Core 2 Duo, and a 1gb Nvidia GTX 260M.
