Med res WG7XXX in Toobin has jail bars and bleeding colors
I have a problem with my Toobin monitor. I actually did the whole cap kit 5yrs ago, but even after the cap kit, it never looked right. I have the brightness down fairly low, as if you turn it up much, I get bleeding and halos around colors. Even with it low and looking dull, I'm still seeing bleeding (pink) in the edges of some graphics, as if the brightness is way up, but it's not.
Also, when it is first turned on, there's quite the jail bar effect, mostly a wave of light/darker pattern across the monitor. Seems to lessen and disappear after it warms up.
I'm now thinking - maybe not all caps were included in Bob kit, big filter cap wasn't replaced (never is?), some resistor could be out of spec..? What could I have missed in doing the cap kit the first time?
As far as the jail bars, I checked grounds, tried a different switcher, no change.
I want to dig back into this. Thinking pulling the chassis and replacing ALL caps with quality 105deg would be my first step?
Thanks in advance for wading through my post..
