Hi you all. I'm a newcommer to the forum and all of this crt stuff, but i defenitly have seen the advantages with them.
A week ago i bought me an ECP 4500 crt beast and swinged it up in the celing of my livingroom.
I didnt even care to start soft with a lcd or dlp, they seemed like a waste of money with lamps-life-thing and poor resolution capabilities.
A little scared of all the procedures involved i dived right into it with some good instructions by Mike Newman printed out on paper (great thanks to him sharing his knowlegde)
In just a few days i had learn lots of how to set it up, from the heavy neck-braking lift up in the celing, down to the fine-tuning of the g2-pots and so on.
But now i had maybe runed into the performance end of the pj or a problem with the convergenve.
My ecp is conected to a pc feeding it with a 1024x768 @ 70hz v.scan.
(any lover than 70hz will make my head eache in just a few minutes, and any lower resolution vill be mostly unusable for me)
So for the first question would be, is 1024x769 @ 70hz to much for this machine ?
The problem for me being to get the convergence right, when watching the crosshatch its no problem to set it correctly. But then whe you have the picture from the computer showing on it, the problems starts. A soon as something bright apears, the blue and red tubes goes crasy, and get really visibly seperated. For example the start-menu gets the edges in three lines. blue ,green, and red. And closing the bright window causing it, the contours of the menu slowly wanders toghether again. This happens actualy in every area of the screen, the edges gets smothred out quite nasty.
Wathcing videos is the same thing, wathcing a silver or bright car (too much top-gear watching
on a relativly dark background makes the car get burning red and blue edges and lines. And if any daylight sky shows, even faces of people gets blue and red outlines.
I adjusted the convergence thousands of times and cant really get it to work good. converging with crosshatch or the image from the pc makes no difference.
I had tried the tip pressing the chips on the convergence board didnt help me much. I checked all of the ic-s of every card in the pj.
I though i maybe pushed the macine to hard and lowered the res. to 800x600 and vscan @ 60 hz. But the same problem occurs.
So, in short: My convergence is drifting around with the image changes.
Any thougts ?
