[QUOTE="chscag, post: 786409, member: 46727"] If you own an older Trinitron TV, the best you're going to get out of it is its native resolution for whatever that's worth. :( Unfortunately, most older CRT type monitors and TVs don't display much above 800 x 600 at best. As for poor vertical sync, (doubling) that's a product of an incompatible refresh signal. LCDs require 60 Hz for normal operation, but a CRT may require a refresh as high as 85 Hz (which by the way is typical for a Trinitron). Best I can suggest is keep trying other resolutions and see if you can vary the refresh rate a bit higher. You might also try going direct in to the VGA port on the TV. Regards. [/QUOTE]
