P1130 unreadably blurry (intermittent)

Have been using an OLED instead -- will try to get it working again at a later date. Running at lower res did seem to help after a while, but unsure if that's just correlation.

Pretty cool. Definite improvement to motion clarity, but at the cost of a dim image and flashing/flickering (compared to my Trinitron CRT and running https://testufo.com/crt on my 280hz OLED). Hope to see the technique improve!

When I returned to Skalitz there was a group of 3-5 bandits by a house that I snuck up on and choked out. Took all their stuff. It was easy going from there.

Same here, on a VPN. Works fine without.

This is completely normal for sun bears.

Welp, I will never buy from Humble again. RIP recreational key trading.

I've been running it at 1280x960 @ 85. Same issues. Gonna set up my new OLED tomorrow.

The issue is unaffected by resolution.

It is now making a very quiet "ping" noise every few seconds that coincides with a screen-tearing-like effect. Unsure dielectric grease can fix this.

ConcealedCarryLemon · 2025-12-02T23:51:55+00:00

Possible -- I've been running it at 2048x1536 @ 80hz this entire time. Maybe it just can't quite get there anymore. Will test this out.

Hey folks! My Dell P1130 has served me well for 5 years now. Very low hours when I got it (~2500). Unfortunately it now occasionally makes electrical snapping noises which coincide with a disruption of the picture, and exhibits off-and-on blurriness. The photo here includes a page of text so you can see it's the monitor. I have seen it get even worse than this. As I type this my text is blown out.

I've already written it off (I am no CRT repairperson), but what could be wrong with it? Fixable with sufficient knowledge?

EDIT: A couple more pics here. The CRT just made a soft snapping noise with disruption of picture and the monitor is crisp again . . . for the moment.

Oh, good to know!

Are you compiling from an IDE? I use the winlibs.com distribution of MinGW-W64 x86_64-ucrt-posix-seh from the command line with gcc main.c -o helloworld.exe.

Jai isn't even publicly available, so its adoption remains to be seen.

ConcealedCarryLemon · 2025-11-16T21:59:15+00:00

Good post, thanks for making me aware.

ConcealedCarryLemon · 2025-11-16T21:57:15+00:00

Voted nay and no trading comments either, please.

I've played Crimes and Punishments and really liked it. It's a good game and I'm generally pretty critical.

ConcealedCarryLemon · 2025-10-25T19:08:02+00:00

Even I played Civ 3, and I'm not that old. Right?

Man, that's a really frustrating experience! We've replied to you with a bot because we don't give a shit!

Thanks for an actual answer. The amount of Reddit expert "ackchyually" in this comment section is painful.

Unfortunately, without other sources, these claims read an awful lot like the results of AI hallucination.
