Distorted Image

I bought a Hanns G monitor on newegg about a month ago and I love it. There was, however, an weird glitch that would occur whenever there was a mostly gray image on the screen. If I were looking at a website or even a movie that had a significant amount gray in it, weird lines would appear on my screen. It were as if the monitor was becoming out of sync with my computer. After finding nothing on Google I decided to play around with fixing it more. It turns out that the solution was actually very simple:

Lower the contrast on my video card (not on the LCD itself) to 95% (or slightly lower than normal). This got rid of the lines instantly and changed the look of the image on the screen only very slightly.

Image After Lowing Contrast

I drove my DeLorean over a couple of days ago. I thought you all might be interested in a picture or two, so I’ll be uploading a couple to the gallery in a little while. This DeLorean really isn’t in the best shape. So far after a bit of work I’ve gotten it to be able to start on its own, usually the first try. I’ve also fixed a coolant leak that was causing the engine to overheat. If you watch a video of it on youtube you’ll notice that the RPMs are REALLY high (about 4000RPM idle). I still have to fix this, but this is a bit more involved than some other things. First I have to replace the corroded Idle motor. That will drop the RPMs down to 3000. I also need to replace a couple of hoses that have cracks in them, which might be causing a loss in vacuum pressure. Finally I’ll have to check the Idle control system in the electrical box. I’ll keep you updated.
