My new lilliput when you get close to the screen you notice that it looks like there are waves moving across the screen anyone know how to fix this.

I get this on my CRT with certain drivers. Check you have the latest drivers and the correct refresh rate. Also what resolution are you running?

I have this on my desktop LCD. It's a driver problem. I'm not 100% sure how to fix it, but it's a driver problem most likey.

I know where to go to change the resolution where exactly do I go for refresh rates. I know I've been there before but I don't remember how to get there at the moment

Wehn you right click on your desktop and click the settings tab (this is were you change you res i presume) then click advanced and under monitor tab there should be a refresh rate.

from your answer i am gonna presume that you are not that familiar with drivers etc so it you post what setup you are running someone will tell you what the ltest drivers are. While you have the advanced properties open click the adapter tab and write down the adapter name/model and then click properties and then ont he new box that comes up click driver and make a note of the provider, driver date and driver version. Sorry if you know all that but i am just being thorough!

I too have a new lilliput and I also experience this SOMETIMES. When I stated it the first time my res was cranked, but when I dropped it to 800x600 the waves came in. Amazing I just read this thread and was about to say something when the waves miraculously went away.

By the way...when I say "i was about to say something"...... that was about 3 hours ago,and I left the lilliput on.

You know, I never thought it could be driver issues. I always thought I needed to regulate the power to the lilliput. I never played with the display settings though, so it very well could be!

before you go crazy, try powering the screen off the pc power supply, if this cleans up your problem then it is noise in the power feed &/or a ground loop problem....the video ground from the pc being different from the ground provided to power the screen can cause video "noise" as well...

Should I be using a specific driver for the Lilliput? Windows XP seems to only want to recognize my screen as the standard plug and play monitor and it only gives me 60 Hz at a refresh rate option. And my screen is all flickery in what really looks to be a driver problem. Is there a specific lilliput driver out there?

Skeeter · 12-31-2004, 06:22 AM

Yeah i need a liliput driver too, even when it only changes it's name. I hate "default vga monitor"....
Never got any with my lilli, and never found one on the net.

Skipjacks · 12-31-2004, 02:30 PM

Is there a way to fix it withotu a driver? Certain settings to manually adjust for it?

damixt · 12-31-2004, 08:17 PM

i had the same problem with my screen and when i switched my inverter the problem went away, might be the same for you.

If we hard wire it to our PSU, do we ditch the egg? or do you we keep the egg and just cut off the cig adaptor. JW as i'm about to do this.

xBrady · 12-31-2004, 08:50 PM

Someone posted about this problem awhile back and several people said you get the wavy lines from the egg. I have them a little bit too. I haven't had time to permanently fix it but I know if I mess around with the power connection they will go away.

turbocad6 · 01-02-2005, 11:27 AM

The problem is power related, if your not over taxing your power supply then you could just power the screen off of the power supply, you DO NOT need the egg inline because the egg is just a crappy 12v regulator that is a part of the origin of your problem, by running it off the pc power supply direct you will be running it with clean, regulated 12v that is definately on the same ground plane as your pc's video, hence NO WAVES & you should see a rock solid stable image. The question is if you have a big enough power supply to handle an addl load...
