In Reply to: TV and Computer Monitor help please..... posted by Chris Garrett on August 22, 2004 at 14:11:20:
Chris, I'm not sure about the Mitsubishi but do you have another source (computer PC, laptop, etc) that you can hook up to the 36" Gateway tube? You might try to isolate the problem to either the 36" tube or the PC, if you can. If you're seeing all blue it seems that green and/or red may have gone out. Does the 36" tube have a HD15 "VGA" connector or just R G B? In addition to R G B, is there a separate composite sync connector or separate vertical and horizontal sync connectors. If its just R G B then I would guess that it's 'sync on green' and if this is the case, green is not out or your screen image wouldn't be stable. In any case, I'm rambling. First things first. Try isolating the problem to the 36" tube or the PC if you haven't already done so.
Follow Ups:
Also check around your monitors. Its easyly a possibility that all of a sudden you have purchaced a new appliance and your monitors which are CRT and being doused with a heavy dose of magnetic radiation. This can cause tubes to completely go out.
right after I wrote this post, I was reading on Gateway Destination website and another fellow with the same monitor had his in storage for a while and when he fired her up for the first time, he got a pinkish tint, similar to my blue. That monitor has less than 200 hours on it vs. thousands and thousands for mine.Since I can't display red as red, but only black, I'm assumming that there is a cold/broken solder joint on the 'red gun'. Blues and greens display as good as one can expect without any red being thrown into the mix.
I don't have another monitor and I was going to haul the computer down to BestBuy or CompUSA just to rule out the AIW video card, but after reading his post, I'm sure it's the monitor. It just uses a regular computer cable, so no individual R/G/B hook ups. It does .93 dot pitch at 75Hz refresh and 800x600 max.
Anyhow, I'm living with it for now.
Take care, Chris
