television looking "washed out" in spots
Hey,
Been fiddling with this for a bit and guess I need to post it here. I have a PCI ATI All-In-Wonder TV-out card and the special cable that goes with it. That's connected to a new SANYO 24" TV from my PC running Win '98 - using all this for MAME. Now, after being on for about 3-5 minutes, you can see two distinct areas on the screen that look to be getting a "washed out" look - almost like the screen needs degaussing. It's not a degaussing issue, tho. Then, as time goes by, they go away. Then, of course, they fade back in. Kinda distracting and unacceptable for a new TV. The best way to describe where on the screen these appear - get ready for it - if a woman stood in front of the screen, centered, and pressed her ample chest up against the CRT and left two impressions there - that's where the areas of discoloration come and go. I've tested the TV with my XBox (composite)- no such issue. Tried it with my DVD player (s-video)- no such issue. So, I'm ruling out the TV itself being fux0red. So, it just seems to be the computer/vid card. It does it with either S-Video or composite output. Wondering if it's a simple matter of adjusting refresh or resolution (trying all of that now) or I should buy another video card. I wouldn't think it's a driver issue but you never know. Anyone seen this? I get nothing on searches for this specific problem. TIA. BTW, the email is no longer valid. Replies here appreicated! |
