Led monitor problem
« on: July 21, 2015, 05:09:58 pm »
I just swapped my neo cabinet to a led lg computer monitor.  It has wavy lines that scroll on the monitor.  It's not the picture but if it's a solid background color u can really notice it.  My atomiswave does it also running straight out with the vga cable.   Is this how led's look? It doesn't do it with a lcd I have.   If need be I'll get pics later.

I'm not sure from your description, but is it possible that the monitor refresh rate is not the same as the game causing screen tearing?

How are you hooking it up is really the question?  Do you have any pics of the connectors, boards, etc?

I'm guessing it's a refresh rate issue that the new LED monitor is not supporting.  You say the LCD works correct?
