No problem Sam.Thanks again!
Unfortunately the more I use this monitor for testing the more I find small flaws that plague it and that drive me nuts. I prefer the smaller and unassuming TM-H in many ways, shame they are 15kHz only.
No problem Sam.Thanks again!
Interesting! I know some systems can be run at higher voltage as they can take more than what's advertised but surely lower voltage than say the recommended value will be bad ? Can't quite figure out why the extra or lower voltage will remove the upper skew on the monitor though. Since my PCE Turbo Duo is now fixed thanks to the Extron 160xi I am willing to get a CMVS soon-ish (will be few months still) and see how my luck goes with that. The 160xi isn't by far the perfect solution as interestingly some games will still exhibit heavy skewing even with it (Bonk's Adventure and Legion for example). But I found that all that's needed is to go in to the size and position settings and make the frame of the game fill the screen fully, then it all becomes fine. Another weird thing is that I left Legion running for half an hour without playing because I went to the shop and when I'd gotten back the skew and image shake on the top were basically gone...cyborc wrote:I just remembered something.
Several years ago, I had a HAS supergun and an MV-1C motherboard. I used a mean well power supply that had a pot to adjust the voltage. I remember that when I adjusted the voltage, the skew on the monitor went away, but I don't remember if I adjusted the voltage up or down. :/
Did you change the sync from internal to external? Or vice versa. Press down and left, then function settings > INT/EXT. I usually get this result or no picture when I don't have the correct sync settings set.Crayfish wrote:Hi guys, I am the lucky owner of a 19" DT-V. But I am having problems with using it for RGB.
I have the IFC01COMG and two other cards for it (SDI & Composite).
Initially the monitor would not even display my RGB feed, giving me the message: 'Out of range low' (the monitor does not list 240p 15KHz as supported, though other people seem to have it working fine on their DT-Vs) but yesterday I hooked it up again, and it finally gave me an image, but it had a green wash over the whole screen and would not let me into ANY menu options other than to see the inputs, and every test/function button just said 'NO EFFECT':
*The tube is fine because I fed in my snes through composite and the image and colors are perfect.
*I am using a Mame CRT_Emudriver setup that works perfectly with my other monitors.
*I have two IFC01COMG's, I have tried both, in all 3 slots that the DT-V 19 has, but I get the same result (both IFC01s also work fine in every other JVC monitor I have had/have).
*Even though it wont let me use any of the buttons in RGB mode, I dont think this is stuck in a green color check. It looks like a lighter shade of green, and you can see other colors slightly on screen.
Any one have any ideas?
I get the same green tint on PS2 if I use GSM and try a VGA preset. Using HDTV preset produces the correct colors.Crayfish wrote:snip
I've wondered that myself. What's strange is when using groovymame (which can output the exact refresh rate and resolution of the original game) The monitor has no skew whatsoever with Neo-Geo games. Looks perfect.werk91 wrote:Would a dual frequency oscillator mod for an MVS improve the compatibility with the monitor? So it's closer to 60Hz refresh rate as opposed to ~59.1Hz. I've read that it helps with the FM but I'm not sure if CRTs can benefit from it too.

I tried to tate my DT-V the other day too.. And now it has a blue discolouration in the top right hand corner (visible on solid red background). The degauss button and startup degauss does not get rid of it, how did you remove it? I am guessing a degaussing wand?cyborc wrote:I mentioned earlier in this thread that I couldn't TATE this monitor without discoloration. I tried it again at my new place and I found that if the monitor is facing east/west there is still a very, very slight discoloration in the corner but it's much worse when facing the CRT north/south.
Hmm, I did the same (unplugged everything whilst rotating it etc) but it still managed to get discoloured. I just didn't let it sit for 30 mins. I guess I'll just try to pickup a wand.cyborc wrote:for me the discoloration went away after putting it back to horizontal. I turned off the monitor, rotated it back to normal, unplugged it and let it sit for about 30 minutes. I didn't need to use a wand. I wonder if the degauss button even works on my monitor... When I press it, the screen will say "Degaussing!" but it doesn't actually "shake" like other monitors with a degauss button.
Also, hopefully someone who has done this or knows more can chime in. I think one of these is the horizontal linearity coil but don't know which, another member told me it should have a magnet inside? Anyone know about this?lewolfeur wrote:Anyone know how to modify h linearity ? the left square on the grid are too big.
In service menu there is only v linearity setting.
On my JVC DT-V1710CG and every other monitor I have, the colour temperature is set to 93k. Since I remember, I don't like warm colours. I live in Europewerk91 wrote:I'm curious what colour temperature people have their DTV's set to? I spend some time reading the 63k vs the 93k thread so that's where I'm coming from. Personally the warmer 63k has always seemed off to me when I've tried it on any game or console. Just too yellow where there's meant to be white... It probably means that my monitor needs calibration but oh well. And as far as 93k putting more wear on the monitor well yeah, but I think it can take some extra wear from my now scarce one to two hour play sessions.
Can you explain more? I was told that these two coils in the picture I shared can change the horizontal linearity. Are you sure this one you are referring to is horizontal not vertical?MKL wrote:The linearity coil is on the main chassis and can't be adjusted.
I would not pay more than £300 ($410) maximum. Assuming it is low hours too.Acer wrote:how much would a good condition JVC DT-V1710CG be worth? (no component card)
The coils and other adjustments on the yoke are for dynamic convergence. The linearity coil on every monitor is on the chassis in series with the horizontal yoke (so in the flyback area) and is magnetically biased (all other coils have a ferrite core) and it often has a sleeve with a band marking its polarity (or three legs so it can't be mounted incorrectly). The magnet on its top is glued after the best linearity is obtained by rotating it. It can't be adjusted anymore after that.Sefirosu789 wrote:Can you explain more?

I wouldn't pay anywhere near that much, personally. If it had the component card, I'd go to like $250-300. But also I'd only be seeking the 19 anyway.Sefirosu789 wrote:Can you explain more?

Understood, thank you. That's a shame because so many of these DT-V's that I've seen need horizontal linearity adjustments. I assume that it is glued in the factory, I'll have to check mine next time I open it up.MKL wrote:cut
I agree, I would not pay it either but prices are unfortunately pretty high right now. If it were my first monitor I would rather pay £250-300 for a DT-V and £60 or so for the clone card as opposed to a 20F1E which are currently selling for £500-600 right now... It's stupid, I know.Einzelherz wrote:I wouldn't pay anywhere near that much, personally. If it had the component card, I'd go to like $250-300. But also I'd only be seeking the 19 anyway.
But I also already have plenty of monitors.
Yes this happens on some people's DT-V's but lucky it is not very noticeable. There is no definitive solution but some people used Extron RXI interfaces to remove the wobble and in some cases it was console power bricks or power outlets causing interference.cyborc wrote:Anyone else using the DT-V with a Saturn and Genesis/MD:
On the Saturn, does the picture slightly wobble, and is the screen slightly jittery on the MD? I'm just trying to get an idea if this is just another of the monitors quirks or if there's something wrong with mine. Thanks.
