|
|
|
My Marquee 8500 has a faint white line near the right hand side that extends from top to bottom and only appears when there is very little image on screen ( mostly black), The line disappears as soon as the total amount of light being generated increases even slightly. The Marquee was very nicely calibrated recently ( great job Terry!) and the image is delightful. I have been ignoring this line, but wonder if it is meaningful. Any gurus want to venture a thought on this? I run 1080i component in to a Lumagen Pro HDP and 960P 5BNC out to the PJ. The line appears regardless of input source.

I just discovered I have this issue as well. Which is odd, because I never noticed it before until after I got my Moome VIM card (was using HDFury2 before). Not sure if that's relevant.
Anyway, I don't really have any soldering skills. How much potential for damage is there? What's the preferred site/book/etc. for learning about and practicing soldering?
Anyone in the Seattle area willing to help a fellow CRT'er out in exchange for some beer?

I'd find somebody who can solder rather than trying to do it yourself. I'm sure there are plenty of EE types around Seattle who could help.
I did the fix recently and it's made a huge difference. I used to have to run the brightness pretty low to avoid seeing the raster artifacts, but that resulted in losing shadow detail. Now I don't see those artifacts at all and the image doesn't seem "too dark" to me like it always used to. (Though the projector seems to be running "brighter" than it did before, so I end up running the brightness lower anyway, go figger...)
