New Monitor Woes

[SirPeale]

I bought a monitor over the weekend for my cabinet:

It has a fantastic picture, and it's the largest monitor I've ever had
(my personal system has a 15", and I'm happy with it)

My only gripe is this: when the screen mode changes, it prints the mode
on the screen.  Annoying when I've got fancy eye candy going on.

I might be able to avoid this in one of two ways.  

First, I could turn it off, but I do not know how to do that.  It's
certainly not an option in the menus.

Second, I could keep the video sync the same everywhere, but it doesn't
want to seem to do that.  ArcadeOS uses 60 Hz, and MAME 70Hz (at least
that's what it's printing out)

Suggestions?

[SirPeale]

I've pretty much figured that if I can get everything to sync at 60 Hz, I'll be all set.  However, DOS syncs at 70 Hz, at least that's what it's telling me.

How can I get DOS down to 60 Hz?

depends on your video card... maybe arcmon, or monarc, or the like could let you set that (depending on your vid card) or some other nifty TSR...

Although don't use these in conjustion with
SDD (FYI)

Yes those TSR's are for displaying on arcade monitors, but they give you a lot of flexibility to do other things... which may or may not help you =P

good luck,

Well, that didn't help.  Thanks anyway.  I've got an unsupported video card.  Of course, I'm not using an arcade monitor, so that would be a good reason.
