Those are some strongly varying numbers.vraskin wrote:Unfortunately I got rid of my consumer set for space reasons when I got the PVM so I can't compare, but if the same thing was happening it was minor enough that I never noticed. Did you ever find a solution for BVM/ PVM? Thanks for mentioning the centering settings in the consoles - I hadn't considered that. Should make it easier to standardize everything. The annoying thing about all this is I can't figure out if this is something specific to my setup or if it's something people just deal with. I jut have a standard Console -> SCART -> gscartsw -> SCART-to-BNC -> PVM setup, so short of something being up with the monitor not sure what could be causing this.
Unfortunately I never found a solution for the varying position shifts on the BVM/PVM's and I no longer have any of them to test with. On a BVM I was able to label each console for a different channel allowing me to set the proper H shift for the system on each channel, but this isn't possible on PVM's sadly. I used to think the problem was with my gscartsw but now I'm thinking it might be with these pro monitors if the same thing is happening to you too.
These days I now only run games on consumer crt's as I prefer the image on these. I'm not as used to using RGB on them since S-video and Component works so well in providing such a pleasant picture, but I'm the process of going back to RGB again for most systems and so far I haven't experienced the same issues I had on the pro monitors. I haven't tried the PS1/2 consoles yet but otherwise as I mentioned the shift seems to be consistently to the right with all the systems (with much less variation if any).
What does this look like, any picture? Black lines on an all black screen? If it's only on an all black screen this doesn't sound like much of a problem. It might be something with your tv model meaning probably not much you can do, it might be a problem with your tv as in some component could use some repair or replacement. Crt's are known to have various odd behaviors because they're analog tv's after all so it could be either way and unless you have a second tv of the same model it's hard to say.DJ Kevgeez wrote:I'm wondering why the Sega and SNES have these black lines in the tv when the screen goes all black.
