Vertical lines in colour mode.

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..

Thanks @exxos

I'm not sure as I don't know what that looks like.

This is all the stuff I've had done currently:

Are you sure that not just strobing/phase issue with the "modern" LCD display? Do you have a CRT you can try it upon?

It's identical on my Multisync monitor and on my PC monitor through the OSSC.

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.

I have never observed a such lined yet.
What about recapping?

Had all this done:

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:

@stephen_usher I've just asked that question here as it turns out to be typical of my board revision:
