Thanks for the response
I would agree that I got used to the brightness as well as the gamma characteristics of a LCD, every thing is so bright and so visible but unfortunately at the expense of black levels. Over time I found when watching certain movies or TV shows, especially at night, it...
Here is a much better look at the 2060u CRT and the 204B LCD in action, both at 1600x1200 at 60 Hz. Notice how the picture is formed differently on the CRT versus the LCD. Although LCD's are great at sharpness CRT's can be very good as well. I had difficulties getting a good shot of the CRT as...
Here we have the 2060u CRT being compared to a SyncMaster 204B LCD, the LCD takes the edge on sharpness but the CRT isn't that far behind being a little softer. For colors I think the CRT is clearly better but the LCD is a TN panel probably would be better with IPS panel. Notice how the LCD does...
With the prices that many CRT's are going for on eBay as I am sure many know here, its like these things are becoming collector items, especially the FW900 which I seen them go for many times what they were worth new! Maybe one day I will try out a FW900 but not for $5,000. The shipping part I...
After red green blue bias adjustment, as you can see the display is not overly dark except for characteristics of the photo, picture was taken from a cellphone with resolution down sampled and compressed. NVIDIA gamma control is set to default, monitor brightness set to 50 and monitor contrast...
I have made what I think is a big improvement to the picture quality of this 2060u CRT and I am curious of anyone's thoughts or recommendations if there is any which is welcome.
Ever since I had this CRT monitor (for a few years now)I had an issue where the picture was so dark it was difficult...
It is some time in the future that I am giving an update to this problem. I managed to resolve this problem, somewhat. Although the horizontal deflection will still move around a bit sometimes, lately it has been locked in more often then not. All I did was simply put hours on this CRT, usage...
I increased the sharpness of this CRT monitor,
In the service menu there is DBF-H-Amp DBF-Phase DBF-V-Amp. Carefully fine tuning this yielded a very sharp screen at 1920x1440 at 80 Hz. The settings are very picky to get the entire screen sharp, if some values are adjusted a little to far part...
Here is a interesting question if anyone knows the answer. This occurs when the monitor is warming up but is more gradual after used for a while. The horizontal size seems to expand and shrink slightly. Sometimes the horizontal expands slightly beyond the borders of the screen and other times it...
Good information here.
Does anyone else have to crank up the gamma so the picture is not so dark? I use 1.6 with NVIDIA to make things look better.
Edit
When gamma is set to 1.0 in Nvidia control panel details are lost in the darks as they are way to dark although there is no issues with the...
I think your on to something about checking the power source of the monitor, thanks
I find when I drop the refresh rate to 50 the image is incredibly sharp, sharper than 60 at 2048 x 1536 although it murders your eyes
When you mention "Professional CRT" I take it that you mean something like a BVM PVM (Broadcast Video Monitor) (Professional Video Monitor) which I hear is built like a tank and costs a crazy amount of money if you tried to buy a new one in the day.
