video quality IIe

Posted by: ironborn65 on 2022-02-19 08:14:43 Hi everyone, I have restored an Apple IIe, I added the pics and documented the restoration in the forum, but they all got lost in the DB failure. Anyhow, I used a composite to VGA adapter to connect an LCD, I only have the native phosphor monitor and I want to preserve it. The screen is really of low quality, is it due to the adapter I used or it's something it can not be improved? (the cable is shielded) the video: 19/02/2022 | Synology Photos ironborn65.synology.me 19/02/2022 | Synology Photos ironborn65.synology.me Amy recommendation? thanks

Posted by: ironborn65 on 2022-02-20 15:12:57 Hi mate, I have a Pal version. The two pots simply adjust the color tone, there is no effect on the flickering. I tried the carrier adjustment screw, close to the quartz, and the image improved quite dramatically. thanks to From this View attachment VID_20220220_230151.mp4 too this View attachment VID_20220220_233034.mp4 Still the are bands and the flickering is not completely gone. View attachment VID_20220220_232804.mp4 Can it be some defective passive? Maybe the quartz itself? I do not have an oscilloscope and probably I'll not be able to use it 🙂
