IIci with a BMOW Sync-inator on a early 2010's LCD monitor gives a washed out image. The graphics are clear and crisp, just the gamma is wrong. Any greyed-out text is invisible unless I select uncorrected gamma in the monitors menu.
It has been recapped a few days ago, and the only corrosion was on one leg of one IC in what I think is the power circuit area. UE13 pin 8, but it ohms out to the capacitor next to it.
Have read that the Sync-inator is iffy with LCD monitors, and I have to set the monitor's clock sync to 49 from 50 to get it to be crisp. APD reports everything is working. DIP on Sync-inator is set to 1478. Have tried 1278 but get no video. Cache card was also recapped, and this is with and without the ROM-inator II installed.
Waiting on a SuperMac Spectrum/8 to see if it has the same issue. | Posted by: KI5NYZ on 2026-02-15 19:31:14
This is resolved. It was indeed a sync-on-green issue that was resolved by changing out the monitor. Still using the DIP setting 1478 without issue now.
Original LCD (washed out image):
HP ProDisplay P201

Mfg: 2014
Working LCD:
Acer X223W
PN: ET.EX3WP.003
Mfg: 2009
Guess it's a "try until it works" issue. Glad I didn't chuck the Acer after recently experiencing issues with it's compatibility with a Win9x PC and a Rage Pro Turbo AGP x2 video card. | | 1 |
