Title: LCD Adjustment, screen noise, etc (Read this quick fix!) Post by: Yoeddy1 on November 03, 2011, 08:34:17 PM Hey guys,
So while experimenting with various revisions of GK and both LCD and CRT monitors, I found something interesting. When I had my old Kortek CRT, I never experienced any noise or lines on the screen with GK 4.0 or 4.3. I upgraded the monitor to a Wells Gardner LCD with the same 4.x games...worked great. Later I installed a 5.x game...worked great. Then, I deciced to take a look at the controls on the back of the LCD and tweak sharpness, brightness, etc for the heck of it. Keep in mind, I have a 19 pin analog WG LCD that takes VGA. There is a digital model that takes a DVI connection. As I'm tweaking, I decided to go back to the default settings and I hit the "Auto Adjust" button. As it made it's adjustments, everything seemed to be centered on the screen, but I now had some wavy lines running through the screen. Colors were kinda funky too. I then pressed the button a few more times. Each time produced a different result. Off center, screen distortion, etc. Manually controlling vertical and horizontal position did not help either. What the hell happened? I remembered taking out my 5.0 game and putting 4.0 back in. For whatever reason the issue went away. I put 5.0 in a few weeks ago. Everything was great. I was installing some new glass today and I decided to test out the "Auto-Adjust" button again. Screen was all screwed up again. This time I decided to call AG&E. The tech that I talked to said that depending on the LCD and the version of GK (or other game for that matter) that is being used, the "Auto-Adjust" button can produce different results. To get everything back to normal, he had me open the door, turn the jackpot key 2 times to get me to the "Touch Screen" calibration menu. Once this was done, the screen color and noise was gone and everything was back to normal!!! :244- Anyway, just thought I'd pass this on since I've read a few posts that seem to be similar. Thanks, Jason Title: Re: LCD Adjustment, screen noise, etc (Read this quick fix!)
