Blurriness Sega Blast City
Just saw that the "PLAY" font are redish and blurry compared to the "FREE"
is that because of wrong image ratio that I set up?
or does it have something to do with the monitor itself?

Your color convergence is off.Yamazaki wrote:Just saw that the "PLAY" font are redish and blurry compared to the "FREE"
To tell the truth, convergence is something I'd not try to adjust if you're not experienced. I don't know what kind of monitor you have but traditionally the tube convergence is adjusted by rotating ring magnets on the CRT neck: when you adjust one, it affects how other magnets affect the image, so getting a good convergence is a skill - if you just tweak the magnets a bit, you'll probably end up with a worse image than you started with.
Any experienced tv repairman is (hopefully still) able to tweak the convergence for a low price. When I bought my current house and one of my cabinets was hauled to the 2nd floor, the convergence magnets in the cab were off - after a quick visit by a tv repairman everything was back to perfect. That was around 4 years ago. Hopefully all the guys with CRT knowledge have not retired yet...

Re: Blurriness Sega Blast City
thanks for the reply - I'll see wether I can find someone experienced here in Germany.
else I'll stick with the image quality I have right now - it's not terrible but not terrific either.
also got a small "curving" on the left side of the monitor screen.

Re: Blurriness Sega Blast City
You've got the same issue most of us Blast Owners have. corner convergence issues. A fix that doesnt involve messing with something that can really send your pic out of whack is using convergence stips.. like this vid demonstraits...

Re: Blurriness Sega Blast City
Fixing the corner convergence was super easy in my case, maybe 5 minutes tops.
