39" ARCADE MONITOR PROBLEMS

[nheuer]

Hello All

I have a Wells Garner 39" Dual Scan Monitor (15khz & 25khz) I have it hooked up to a jpac and arcadevga. The problem I am having is that when ever I open a window the screen becomes distorted.

Some kind of funky sync issue probably related to the resolution.

What I mean is the game sends a signal that your monitor likes, but Windows isn't.

I have also tried to cofigure windows and the picture is fine when thier is no movement on the screen but once I open another window it becomes distorted. I am beating my head against a wall. what settings do you all use when running an arcade monitor?

Thanks

Just for the heck of it, reduce the brightness and contrast to see if anything change- I doubt it but it could be an ABL problem?

We should be building our 39" Tri-res by the end of the week. If I remember I test it to see if this happens?

Hello

That is what andy said and it did not change anything. Could it be the H-hold???

Maybe you should have someone qualified to work on electronics look at it before you shock the  out of yourself! Or, you can bring some of those parts to work with you tommorow so I can try it on my monitor. I might break down and order some parts tonight or tommorow. I am tired of waiting for you to get yours working and I just made $1000 on ebay selling those old machine parts
