Title: Led monitor problem
Post by: 800screws on July 21, 2015, 05:09:58 pm

I just swapped my neo cabinet to a led lg computer monitor.  It has wavy lines that scroll on the monitor.  It's not the picture but if it's a solid background color u can really notice it.  My atomiswave does it also running straight out with the vga cable.   Is this how led's look? It doesn't do it with a lcd I have.   If need be I'll get pics later.

I'm not sure from your description, but is it possible that the monitor refresh rate is not the same as the game causing screen tearing?

How are you hooking it up is really the question?  Do you have any pics of the connectors, boards, etc?

that pic is coming straight out of the atomiswave with the vga output straight into the monitor....

its the same when I have it coming from the neo geo board through a cga to vga converter........

I'm guessing it's a refresh rate issue that the new LED monitor is not supporting.  You say the LCD works correct?
