TV as monitor - slight issue
(1/2) > >>
tophatne1:
I'm using a 27" Toshiba CRT TV as my monitor.

Looks great when in MAME but I've noticed that there's a "ghosting effect" in the background of games such as Galaga. Any game with a black background. For example in galaga you can see a faint trail left by the flying bugs that stays for about 30 seconds.

What causes this and how can I fix it?

Thanks.

How is it connected to your computer?

Oh, S-Video is the only option so that's what i'm using.

I'm thinking it probably has something to do wit the monitor refresh rate or something similar. I'm not sure what the refresh rate should be set at for a tv.
Ummon:
if it's standard res, it's going to be 60hz. Thirty seconds is a long time. More than three second would be a long time. Pictures or/and video might help.
