Title: I think somethings wrong with my Monitor. Blurry/Unreadable.
Post by: DiskTwo on June 03, 2009, 05:22:46 pm

Im running an arcade monitor, with a JPAC and ArcadeVGA card. Once I get to Windows desktop its very very blurry. Near impossible to read. Once the Frontend (any) launches. The list of games is MUCH more readable, but still noticable. If I try to open the options/menus for the frontend, they're all extremely blurry, even in the front end.


Im hoping this is something simple like maybe im using the wrong resolution or something.

If anyone has any advice, id greatly appreciate it.

 :notworthy:

P.S. I tried adjusting the dials on the small control board, for sync, contrast etc. None of which seemed to really have any affect on the clearness

After doing some research and learning what a flyback was, you were right! it was that. Its perfect now. Thank you!

Now I just have the odd issue of occasionally I see wavy lines throughout the screen. kind of faint but noticable on some surfaces and backgrounds. im going to try tweaking all the dials again and see if any have any affect on them.

Wavy lines when? If only in mame, could be a rendering issue in software.
