Thanks for the extra info, much appreciated!

Thanks for the advice about badcaps, never heard of them! I'll keep it handy. Latest update: I'm done I believe.. the VGA cable is indeed continuous, it was only held behind the cover to a ground. It currently looks like this: ...and it's happily showing perfect image with all colors. Is...

Hi guys, I need some help here... I have a beloved 19" HP CRT (D8911) and yesterday it starting having displays issues with what seemed like not being able to display the red color through the VGA input. At first I thought it was a warm up issue, but after a more thorough troubleshooting, it...

Glad if it helps! All credit and thanks to you for writing this up in the first place :)

Ah, that makes sense! Yet the first result was pretty weird. It was not just a brightness issue, the screen was indeed darker than expected, but also way on the greenish side. In any case, it's now looking very, very good! :)

Many thanks for the process and it's a success! A few things I figured out that may help others: 1- After the first WPB, reaching almost perfect values, it did save the settings in spite of my initial feeling. The only step I wasn't able to properly do was the very last one (sRGB). It asks you...

Allright, it's a success! A few things I figured out that may help others: 1- After the first WPB, reaching almost perfect values, it did save the settings in spite of my initial feeling. The only step I wasn't able to properly do was the very last one (sRGB). It asks you to reach a Y=80 value...

i did the final setting procedure, yet it didn't save, dammit. i'll go through it again now and hope it sticks.

yup, and I'm concerned my settings weren't actually properly saved after doing an almost perfect WPB session with close to perfect values and overall all across <0.3dE....bleh At least I know the drill, I'll try again tomorrow, but would've been helpful to understand how to double-check proper...

Guys, am I being stupid? In the WPB guide spacediver says "Load up HCFR on your main PC, and switch the colorimeter cable from the laptop to PC. This time, in HCFR, choose "view images" from the "select a generator" pulldown menu. Make sure the reference is D65.". I don't have a view images...

Allright, that's kinda the answer I expected and I don't think the effort/risk/benefit ratio is favorable, when you take in account I only have a very basic idea of what I'm doing anyway. I'll leave that stuff as it is and will focus on a proper WPB :)

well, I must admit I was really doubtful it would make a difference but downloaded your WinDAS archive and ran the windas.exe at the root (it's pretty messy, there are like 4 different installs in different folders and subfolders :D) and to my surprise it's been super stable, didn't have a...

never said XP is mandatory, just that after trying several computers that's the only OS where I could steadily get a connection with WinDAS and therefore used it :) Just my experience and I have no problem installing/trying anything else! Saving or loading a .dat file will usually take 2-3...

I tried to follow the full set of windas calibration tools but I'm getting regular errors and disconnections making the whole process tedious...I'm using a Prolific serial adapter directly connected to a HP laptop running WinXP SP3 (tried several OSes and that was by far the most stable) but...

Haha :D well yeah, I love that build! I also got a pretty sexy 486 but won't derail the thread ;)

Thanks for the answers guys! The screen is directly hooked up via VGA to my Voodoo3 in my P3 config, no adapter at play there. So, no recommended geometry (or other) guide I could do before doing the WPB to get the most out of the screen or make sure nothing is wrong? Guess I'll just try a WPB...

Hi guys and so glad to have found this place - I'm the happy owner of a Sony CPD-G500 with a very strong case of G2 and color drift. I have all the required setup, have already been able to connect to the screen and lower the G2 voltage with WinDAS and was able to recover from the greenish black...
