Problem with CRT Sony FW900
  2 / 2    
[quote name='Reaping_Ant' post='573397' date='Aug 3 2009, 09:23 AM']This is a common problem with CRTs and is called ghosting. It takes some time for the previous image to fade completely and so you see a "ghost" of the image intended for the other eye. You can confirm this by closing one eye: The "ghost" should be the same as the main picture on the other eye and vice versa.

There is no actual solution for this (except buying another display), but changing brightness, contrast and refresh rate may help. It's also less noticable at lower depth settings, because the two images are closer together.

You can try to move the ghosting further into the background where it's less annoing by enabling the avanced ingame controls in the 3D stereo options. Then use Ctrl+F5 and Ctrl+F6 to adjust the convergence so the objects in the foreground are focused. You can save your settings at any time by pressing Ctrl+F7.


The best method to get your desired resolution working in windows as well as in games, is in my experience creating a custom monitor driver. You can use a program called PowerStrip (a free trial version is available, you only need to use it once) to create an .ini file for you. To do so, right click on the PowerStrip icon in your taskbar, choose Options -> Monitor information. In the panel that pops up choose "Read data from stored EDID" in the drop-down list at the bottom. Then choose "Write custom monitor driver", edit the blue entries to your monitor's values if necessary and finally click on the disk icon to save your driver file.

Then install your custom monitor driver via the Windows device manager by choosing to update your monitor drivers and then pointing it to the file you just created.

In order to get games working at higher refresh rates, use the NVIDIA control panel to create a custom entry for each of your desired resolutions (I got the best results by using GTF as timing). This should override the standard refresh rate choices and force games to run at a higher refresh rate.[/quote]
actually, you need set deep 50%+ and ghost images will be far enough from their main image so after some times pass (i play about 2 monthes) you begin to really ignore this effect the most of playing scence. dont try to looking for it, try to ignore it and you will be success for sure. btw LCD 3d ready displays have ghosts too, but lesser enough. anyway i dont frustrate now about the ghosting (i play at 60% deep now, it's too hard adapt for eyes when you set high deep in short period of time) coz i almost ignore it =). i dont gonna buy 120 hz LCD now coz this monitors are crap but still too expensive for it's bad params

Mine is more of a constant double image. When doing the test in the nvidia control panel the if I turn the depth past 25% I get it on all of the columns. The symbol doesn't get it until it is full "in your face", but for me right now the double effect is too much.

Is this ghosting?

yeah, this is ghosting indeed. by the way, the Invidia symbol have very sensable ghosting (i dunno why, may be color combination or something). anyway there is no any way to cancel this effect on CRT monitors to acceptable level. you need just more time and some willing to begin completely ignore this. trust me i really dont care about this now =)
yeah, you can set lower refresh rate - this can some improove the picture in cost of health of your eyes
