That would be the horizontal sync.

Worse case of interlaced video knee I’ve ever seen.

Whack your monitor a few times. The cathodes in your tubes are starting to not make good contact. Maybe that will fix them for a little while until you can go down to the drug store to test them.

Looks more like he had brain farts instead of a messed up V-sync.

More like lay off the recreational ‘smoke,’ guys. ;)

Good grief, that takes me back

It looks like this will separate the readers into those who say “uh, that’s horizontal” and those who say “huh?”

Knee-dless anxiety!

I had to stare at it for awhile to determine whether or not he was standing in water and the wavy legs were from water reflection….

You have to be an old timer to get this one. Try wiggling the rabbit ears. If that doesn’t work, try some “percussive maintenance.”

The only thing missing was “rabbit ears” above each of the panels!

I have NO idea what that is.

Gang, I think we’re all showing our age. Temnosponyl had it right when they said this is a modern, video gaming issue, NOT an analog TV issue (which is what I originally thought). So here we have a case where the cavemen are more advanced than us!

So, basically, twiddle with the knob a little. Please.

A whole new meaning to wobbly knees….knocked knees and rubber legs…..

How analog can you get?

Maybe it’s a tracking problem.

Not enough aluminum foil on the antenna.

The Outer Limits ;)

I thought he was inventing break dancing

TV’s haven’t had V-sync or H-sync in years.

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly, and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to… The Outer Limits.

There’s a nice retro-tech reference.

Or.. raise the zone for a bit and give me a little.. satisfaction.. where it is, it’s really hard on the knees.

Better call Kirk. You are a drawing, not a broadcast.

Might be the X axis on the drafting plotter

The picture on my console radio never had to be adjusted.

We don’t have those controls anymore on our tvs.
