Well here goes: I just picked up this big ass 27" monitor. I'm not sure of the brand, but the tube is RCA. It came out of one of those 4 player Blackjack machines. I t has a VGA type connector on it, which I hooked directly up my PC. I have a Nvidia TVout card running at 640x480. The pic looks sooo nice. After playing games for about 2 hours, I would load a game and the screen would be doubled (beer goggle vision). If I exited back to Windos everything looked fine. My question is Am I running to high of a Htz? I suppose the lowest this card would put out would be 60Htz. Sould I get one of those cards just for arcade monitors? oh here's a pic of this contraption...
thanks

Well i will give this a shot. I have a eygo monitor (with a rca tube) that will only run at 640x480 @ 60Hz. Try setting the refresh rate to 60Hz. Maybe you are just straining your monitor. I have an old monitor that does crazy things if its set at 75Hz for too long. Or maybe after two hours of playing you found a certain game with a resolution you monitor couldn't handle. Try playing that same game again and seeing if this happends. If all else fails set all games to run at 640x480.
