optiview ov580m help!

Hey all..

     Bought two of these monitors, was initially very impressed.  Video qualitiy was more than acceptable, until about ten minutes of use.  After that, qualitiy started to degrade.  It could be corrected marginally by tinkering with brightness, contrast and hue, but only for about 5 minutes and then qualitiy totally gone. After 20 minutes (approx.) the monitors would just shut down totally.  If you let them sit for a while, you can start the whole game over again. (looks great! maybe I was just seeing things? no... wait... here we go again!)

     I thought maybe voltage?  Went to Radioshack and picked up a deal that allows selectable voltage between 6 and 24 volts.  Ran as high as 15 volts and as low as 10.  Seemed to have better results with 10 volts, but they would not function at 9.  Anything higher than 10 volts gets you totally screwed picture again.

     Anyone have any thoughts at all?  If I could keep the qualitiy I have for the first 10 mins I would be sailin!

That's very strange. If both monitors are doing this, I would bring them back to the dealer and get warranty for them & see if the new ones do the same thing.

Yep.  Thats what I thought.  I phoned the Dude in Los Angeles and he's sending me two tft ones... not a bad deal, but I had to pay shipping...

will let you know how this turns out. Cross your fingers!!
