Voodoo with resetting MVP?

[zehd]

Happy New Year all...

Through out the years with my assorted MVPs, I've put up with a lot. I've read that many people see so many anomalies in picture quality (Too dark, too red) and I've even read of and experienced a sort of zoom of the picture, where the picture sides get cut off a bit and the picture is distorted.

I know many have had trouble with blurry text, almost a doubling of text that's shadowing itself.

Well when I get that and try to power cycle I have to try maybe ten times until I get the right picture and dimensions and text... I get this on maybe 5 different versions of the MVP...

Is there some sort of voodoo that I can do? Stand on my head, stick the mvp in the freezer for 2 hours, a hammer?

I know that the MVP is not necessarily high quality components... I'll have to be going PCH or a PC client if I want 'great' picture... but most of the time, I can get a decent picture on the MVP. Just when it trips up, it's like forever to get it back again...

I have seen a number of these things on my MVPs over the years but luckily for me one or maybe two pull the power resets cured it. I have just been thinking that since I moved to using mvpmc (a fair while ago now) I haven't seen the zoom of the picture (that I used to get every couple of days & that used to really hacked me off) & the doubled text at fire up at all, maybe because I haven't actually had to do a reset (thinking about it 'not once') apart from after a power cut.
