Making Orchid Righteous 3D to give better picture

Orchid Righteous 3D is connected between you VGA card and monitor and it can degrade the picture quality of the VGA signal which goes through it. The following article by Timo Jarvenpaa tells how to make changes to the Orchid Righteous 3D board to remove the filters which cause the degration of the signals.

There are 6 surface mounted RF-chokes (coils) marked L3-L5 and L7-L9 on the Orchid R3D board (5 rev). Older Righteous boards may have different part numbers: on rev A board they are L8-L10 and L11-L13. Parts are located close to the 2 vga-connectors, 3 on both sides of the relays. You need to solder short wires (or just solder pads) which bypass the chokes, i.e. short circuit them. Or you can remove the RF-chokes completely and replace with wires, this may give even better results but then restoring the board to its original state is harder. Remember to use good mains isolated soldering iron with temperature control so you won't burn you R3D board. Warranty will not cover this...
