|
|
I am running my Marquee 8500 Ultra from a htpc and I like to increase the raster width (I am already on 100 width in the Geometry menu with long retrace on). I still have almost half an inch of phosphor on both sides of the tubes left.
Is there a jumper or something?
Thanks!! :

You could use powerstrip to reduce the front and and rear porch timings. It is a very good free program that I'm running on HTPC for my NEC 9PG+.

Yes, Powerstrip is a must for a CRT projector and HTPC. It is a little unreliable or may not work at all with some NVidia video cards however.
What resolution/refresh rate are you running?
Is this one of the brand new Ultras? If it is I must say you suck!....BTW that's complement around here.

Thanks guys,
Had some issues with powerstrip (could not go to adv. timings) but I found that I also could change the porch timings in the nvidia control panel under custom resolutions> advanced
thanks!

Never mind I use that complement for my surroundings every day
No it is one that came used out of a 7 CRT 3D simulation theater (with only 2200 working hours and 7 years old I am still very happy with it )
