Tuned my monitor.
on: February 25, 2004, 05:10:02 pm
When i came home today i had a sudden urge to fine tune my monitor. It's about 7 years old and stuff like convergens, focus, brightness had been kinda fubard so left me with a crapy monitor, and since i don't have the cash to buy a new one atm i thought why not fine tune it. And now it looks views like it just rolled out of the factory:D


Some images I took:




Anode Cap.



Image of the Yokes, VideoBoard and the HV unit.

Urk. Better you than me, that's all I can say. I wouldn't have a clue as to where to start. :eek2:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Hehe true...

But since i repair monitors (mainly sun microsystem monitors) i can easly tune my monitor to my liking.

We get allot of older monitors and those are like 4 times more complicated to tune and repair then this one. So i got away with easy tuning:)


Some test paterns i used.

Well, unless you want a response along the lines of "Buh?", that's probably how it's gonna stay. I wasn't even aware there was a hardware route to recalibrating monitors.
Webpage. Yes.

is there any easy way to give a HowTo for this, it might come in handy.

Just make sure you can see the difference between 0% and 5% on the grey brightness scale, then everything's right brightness-wise. :)

And you have to be damn careful not to electrocute yourself even if its unplugged. Those things can hold quite a bit of charge for a long time.

True.....but if you don't go under the Anode Cap then there is not much to worry about. And removing it is also save but i wouldn't recommend it at home. And i didn't ave a reason to remove it.

You can discharge it prety easly and savely with a long screw driver and a second screw driver to put underneat it.
