    My friend is having a problem with some video game consoles. He's got a 32" computer monitor for gaming, and it does not have a SCART-input (since it's not a TV) so he connects video games via composite, component or S-video depending on what's available.

    N64 (50 Hz), Wii (50/60 Hz) and Gamecube (50 Hz) has been working fine with composite video, but recently we tried to connect a Sony Playstation (50 Hz) (the first model, not PSOne). Everything looks fine in the startup menu, but once we get into a game - the image starts rolling vertically. I've tried the same Playstation with two different TV's a my place, no problem.

    Also yesterday, we tried to connect his S-video modded PC-Engine (60 Hz) that works great at my place, and it's got the same problem. The image just rolls vertically. Oh yeah, we've also tried to connect my PC-Engine (60 Hz) via composite video - it work's great with his monitor.

    Does anyone know what could be the problem, why some systems work and others don't, and most significantly, can we do something about it? We live in Sweden, and we've tried both 50 Hz and 60 Hz machines with mixed results as you can see. I can probably provide a video of the issue if that's necessary.

    Edit, this is the monitor:

    Having the same issue. Did you find out a solution for this? Plugged a Playstation into a Luxor flat screen TV that says "PAL 50Hz" in the menu but the image is scrolling downwards as soon as it gets past the Sony logo. Very annoying.
