Colour loss with rotated TVs?

Post by Klatrymadon »

Hi! The television I usually use for playing shooters recently broke down, so I've been using a 14" portable JMB TV for my tate stuff. The thing is, I'm noticing a distinct washing out of the colours after rotation, and anything in the bottom right hand corner of the display becomes almost entirely green.

Is this an indication that my TV isn't at all suited to rotation, or is it a common and easily alleviated hiccup? My consoles are hooked up via RGB cables, if that's of any relevance.

Cheers, folks. :)

Magnetization. Leave it hori and off at the mains when you're not using it and leave it on as normal from time to time. If that doesn't solve it, it's got crap demagnetization, or none at all.
If you're looking for a replacement, I use this as a space saving tate solution. Doesn't have any mag problems and it balances perfectly.
