Monitor Help

[volcomtwin]

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.
