Title: Wave patterns on monitor on hires bvision screenmodes
Post by: Dragster on May 09, 2004, 07:21:58 PM

Hi!!

Just wondering if anyone has had this problem. I got a new 19" flat monitor (CRT) and it looks great wth my Bvision gfx cards, but hires screen modes (1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200) make some wave patterns on window borders and on nletters shown on top of white backgrounds. Could it be nterference on the monitor or a Bvision problem/interference? Any ideas?

thanks!!!

I have problems with my A1960 monitor when going from big resolutions (the flickery ones) down to the regular non-flickery ones. Not wave patterns (like moving wiggles), but every other scanline is shifted horizontally by one pixel. It's weird. Actually, I do get some wave wiggles and in some places it goes blurry, but it's old and decrepit. I figured out that I could fuzzle with the knobies on the side and get it looking better, but it's not always easy.

Let me post the name of the guy I bought it from in 1995 and see if he likes being called to the carpet for being a comp.sys.amiga.marketplace scheister. The ESC key on the A1200 had the lead cut and I didn't find out until years later when I bought another A1200 with a WORKING escape key. (Who ever uses escape on an Amiga?) And, who goes to the trouble of cutting the circuit board on an A1200 keyboard? Grrrr. :pissed:
