So long story short:

Got myself an EAGO 29 to 38" arcade monitor chassis.

I had an Gradient TV of 37" with a JVC CRT.


Hooked both together and boom the image was working and seemed awesome.

Now.. I can't calibrate.

When I get the image to be bright as I would like, the black is washed out with tons of white on it.

This is basically my main problem.
When I fix something the other side breaks it.

I'm using the XRGB Mini Sega Genesis ROM with my Everdrive so it can display the correct test patterns.

I've tried following several tutorials but they all end up not working.

http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/How_to_Correctly_Set_Up_Monitor_Colours_and_Brightness

This is the best I've found but still it does not work.

When I start to raise the RGB Cut off from minimum those while lines start to appear.


After all the afternoon trying to calibrate it I got a nice, color correct image BUT the white screens like the Playstation boot screen or the SEGA logo with white background seems dull and not bright at all.


So how can I still have real blacks and good whites on an arcade monitor?

How old is the tube?? I recall that my 20+ year old CRT TVs were never as bright as a newer flat one. The CRT does burn out with age.
