I've been wondering what the cause is for a while and I've had all the mandatory fixes done.
I was just doing some more checking comparing stuff and remembered this setting on the OSSC.
I'm wondering if this might give someone a clue as to the cause:
Could it be that my Atari is a US 60Hz machine?

You could try 47pf on the RGB lines on the socket..if they are not there already..

I'm not sure as I don't know what that looks like.
This is all the stuff I've had done currently:

Re: Vertical lines in colour mode.
Are you sure that not just strobing/phase issue with the "modern" LCD display? Do you have a CRT you can try it upon?
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

It's identical on my Multisync monitor and on my PC monitor through the OSSC.stephen_usher wrote: 20 Sep 2020 21:46 Are you sure that not just strobing/phase issue with the "modern" LCD display? Do you have a CRT you can try it upon?
I did still have a High Resolution CRT monitor when I first got this Atari and the picture was inferior compared with my old ST which was the revision Exxos likes. It used to look crisp on the old ST, although I never saw it through a colour monitor. I only used it for Notator and didn't have this support network back then.

Re: Vertical lines in colour mode.
I have never observed a such lined yet.
What about recapping?

Re: Vertical lines in colour mode.
Had all this done:
https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =18&t=3232
Works perfectly (with the odd moment when I just have to turn it off and on again due to normal Atari behaviour :lol: )
Picture been poor from the start. High resolution is not bad, but the colour has always done this vertical thing.
I remember being disappointed when I tried it on my trust monitor and it looked poor. The monitor had always looked good.
It's not a deal breaker but it ruins demos like this that use lines:

Re: Vertical lines in colour mode.
@stephen_usher I've just asked that question here as it turns out to be typical of my board revision:
