Upgrading Your ProtoTrak AGE3 CNC Machine’s Old CRT Display: Introducing Monitech’s LCD Upgrade Kit

The ProtoTrak AGE3 CNC Machine is a reliable workhorse, known for its precision and performance. However, if you are still using the original CRT display that came with your AGE3 CNC machine, you may have encountered some common display issues over the years. These issues can hinder your productivity and lead to frustration. Fortunately, Monitech has the perfect solution to address and prevent these problems with their ML084QNMX2 Prototrak LCD upgrade kit, compatible with all versions of the ProtoTrak AGE3 CNC machine.

Common CRT Display Issues on ProtoTrak AGE3 CNC Machine

Old CRT displays, while once cutting-edge technology, are now prone to various problems due to their age. Here are some of the most common display issues faced by users of ProtoTrak AGE3 CNC Machines with CRT displays:

1. Flickering or Rolling Screen

One of the primary issues with CRT displays is flickering or a rolling screen. This occurs when the horizontal and vertical synchronization of the CRT monitor is compromised, making it challenging to read information accurately.

2. Burn-in or Image Persistence

Over time, static images displayed on a CRT monitor can become “burned-in” or persistently visible on the screen even when the image changes. This phenomenon can lead to ghost images that interfere with the clarity of the display.

3. Blurry or Distorted Display

As CRT monitors age, their internal components, including the electron gun, can degrade, resulting in a blurry or distorted display. This distortion can make it difficult to interpret critical CNC machine data.

4. Color Distortion

CRT monitors may experience color distortion, causing colors to appear incorrect or washed out. This distortion can hinder the user’s ability to distinguish various elements on the display.

5. No Display

In some unfortunate cases, the CRT monitor may fail to display any information at all. This can occur due to issues with the monitor’s power supply, the CRT tube, or other internal components.

6. Fading or Dimming

The brightness of CRT displays can diminish over time, resulting in a dim or faded screen. Such a display can be challenging to work with, particularly in environments with varying lighting conditions.

7. Visible Lines or Artifacts

Visible lines, artifacts, or distortion on the screen are also common problems with aging CRT monitors. These issues can be caused by problems with the CRT tube or circuitry.
