vga cable screen (tearing looking?) problems.

[unrealsoldier]

Hey!


I just got a vga cable and i got some strange screen tearing looking stuff on my lcd tv im not sure if this is how its supose to be or if somethings wrong. when a game is in motion everything looks ok but when in a menu or some other options etc when the screen is still it tears, but just a little... but enough to make you wonder if somethings not right.


to make it clearer what i mean im gonna compare it with the closest thing i know and that is pc games without vsync but only a little out of sync and with the olny differnce this can be seen when the game on screen is not in motion.


i hate my crappy english so hard to explain shit like this.. anyway i hope someone know what this is and how to make it stop or whatever i would be very very grateful.

Your tv has special vga option to adjust the screen maybe?

nothing really.. i have gone through these menus alot now and read the manual closely and there doesnt seem to be anything on the tv witch can fix it.

this is making me real sad... been looking forward to get everything set and with the audio and all i really thought i had it sorted...



plz someone help me here!

It could be a bad cable... Broken shielding or a faulty wire... Or some sort of interference/noise from an other electrical device...

[unrealsoldier]

i got a feeling it might be that too.


is this usual that it happens ? i mean that the wires are bad ?

Yes sounds like a bad cable. Easiest thing to troubleshoot anyway so try that first. Use a short one and test it out.

the dc vga cable or the extra vga cable i use to connect it to the tv ?

use this to connect the dc cable to the tv http://www.kabelgiganten.se/artiklar.as ... 2&menyid=2


also replaced the cord with another new one but the problem still is there... has to be the dc cable only thing i havent tested yet.
