OS 9.1 RGB monitor issue

i updated my older Mac 7200 to OS9.1 from OS8.6 and discovered that my SONY RGB 15" monitor would no longer respond. i have an older Apple 14" display that starts just fine. the SONY used to work with 8.6. i don't know what happened. if i start up in OS9.1 with the Apple monitor connected, i can then switch to the SONY and it is OK however the fonts are all bigger than they used to be under 8.6. however, if i put the computer to sleep or restart, no good and the screen goes black and the power indicator light on the monitor just flashes yellow. there is only (1) display resolution indicated in the monitor control panel for both of these monitors. the same listing - 67mhz refresh and i believe 640x480. i tried installing the griffin Hi Res program to get more choices but none of the other resolutions is stable.
what can we do to get the SONY back online?
thanks.

i have discovered that my Apple to VGA adaptor block needed to have a different pin setting.
all is well.

Trouble with color on Presario, No red tones on display. Not a monitor issue.

Am experiencing trouble with color on Presario, model no. CQ5500F. Purchased a couple of years ago, and trouble was present immediately. Am getting no red tones - red items appear black or sometimes blue. Was told by HP that it was a monitor issue, and let computer slide out of warranty. installed new monitor today and problem still exists. Is this merely a display adjustment of some kind? Or will I have to pay HP their $99 for a one time fix? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello UncleBob62,
It could be the display driver that is not properly working
1. Click on the start icon
2. Right click on computer and go to properties
3. Select Device Manager
4. Expand display adapters and right click on the video card driver and uninstall
The computer screen will go blank
On the keyboard press the windows key the right arrow key twice and then the letter R.
At this point your computer is going to reboot. After the reboot Windows will install generic drivers for your video card. Do you still see a lack of red tones?

Adobe RGB Monitor Problem

I own a dell 2408wfp monitor that works with adobe rgb. photoshop seems to realize that and automatically adjusts the preview colors of srgb images so that it "matches" the srgb color settings. when exporting the image and previewing them in a browser the colors are - of course - way more intense, i guess that's because the browser dosn't render them for an adobe rgb monitor. the problem: the preview in photoshop on my adobe rgb monitor dosn't look nearly like the result on a normal srgb display. colors are just wrong. i get the best (=best matching) results when lowering the color intensity in the monitor settings and look at the result in my browser.
is there any way to disable the "monitor profile" in photoshop, so that it just displays the colors "wrong"/too intense?
thx for your help!

Thanks Dag and others. I apologize if I seemed frustrated, above, especially to Lundberg02 if he has taken any offense. None was meant!
Please permit me a bit of philosphizing for a moment...
You may take all this with a grain of salt, or as the ravings of a madman. It is in NO WAY intended to accuse or label anyone. Instead I simply request you keep an open mind...
I think the one thing that seems to apply stronger to the color-management realm than most others, for some reason, is that people who have found their footing initially believe that their way is the "best" (or sometimes "only") way to actually make color-management work, because it works for them, and because it was pretty difficult to reach this level initially. Out of the goodness of their hearts they want to try to bring others to their level of understanding. They simply have not realized yet that there are still higher levels of understanding.
I only offer this, to those who think this way, because I have been there: Your next level of understanding (and there always seem to be more levels) brings the realization that there is no "one" or "best" way to work - it depends on needs. It is at this stage that you finally realize that all those settings and features represent either the minimum set (or possibly even still a subset) of all the controls REALLY needed to get things right, and that quite possibly others will want to choose different ones - and even different workflows - than you have chosen. It is at this level where one begins to see why what seemed like poor terminology at first was actually chosen.
The next level beyond the above is a maturing of the understanding, over time, where one learns to sometimes change settings to meet changing needs, and one begins to actually exercise all the features and controls in daily operations to better meet his/her goals. It is at this level that one finds oneself revisiting ideas tossed out early on as "invalid" or "wrong", such as setting up a system to use a standard profile instead of a custom one. This is the level where one starts to understand how half-baked the whole system of color-management is, taking into account the OSs, browser and the web, and things beyond just the color-managed apps you use, because of its history.
The next evolutionary step - what has been referred-to above as the "Fraser" level - finds one developing one's own custom profiles, such as linear (gamma 1.0) working spaces or those with special gamuts, to suit particular needs not covered by what's already available. It is at this level that one can develop properly color-managed software, and innovate in the color-management realm (e.g., marry color-management into OpenGL, which has none).
Is there a next level? I haven't reached it, but I believe there must be one. I've not stopped learning.
At all levels, people at lower levels will tend to think any advice you may give is suspect, or outright wrong. Just try to be tolerant - one day they'll understand too.
My best advice:
Color-management is no more important than, say, Angry Birds. It's just stuff that happens on a computer. So don't take it too seriously and try not to get upset over it. And keep climbing the steps!

Apple IIGS RGB Monitor, does it display anything without a video source?

I have a Apple IIGS RGB monitor no cable or computer to test it with. I just want to sell the monitor at this point. I don't recall in the past if this monitor displayed anything when it was powered on just lit up with when there was no video source. I just don't have the room to keep it and want to test it out. Since I have no way to get video is there a way to be able to test the monitor.
That is does it show raster to something when powered up without a video source. I don't recall what my old monitors did without video. I don't think I remember turning them on without video. Would I assume that is should work if the power light comes on but no picture(no video source) or should it at least have raster(white or some color screen)?
Thanks again,
Nick

Thank you, thats what I was afraid of. So it probably works, but I guess I will have to say it powers up and I have no way to test the video source to make sure. Does that sound about right? *I did try to adjust the brightness and contract but didn't see any changes.*
Thanks again,
Nick
You're leaving out the most vital part in your summary. You should be able to see change in the brightness if you crank it up. You need to put that in your description for full disclosure.

Multiple Monitor Issue

Alright, so I have a 15" Macbook Pro with the dual graphics cards (GeForce 9600M GT and GeForce 9400M GT 256 version). It's the 2.66 intel processor one. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out this dual monitor issue that I've been having for a few days now. When I'm using the 9400M card and I plug into my mini displayport everything works just fine. This includes the VGA cord, the HDMI, as well as a standard Apple monitor. Now, when I switch over to the higher end graphics card, as soon as I plug into the mini displayport my screen goes black. And that's it. I can't do anything. I have to hold the power button down until the computer turns off.
I've been searching for days in order to find an answer to this question or if anyone has ever had a similar problem and no one could help me. I even went to the genius bar and no one could help either. Keep in mind I've tried this in a variety of ways. I've plugged the monitor in after the computer was running, I've had it plugged in while the computer was turning on, and each time after the initial boot up everything goes black.
To make matters worse, I originally came across this issue because I use Windows 7 on bootcamp and I wanted to use dual monitors within Windows. Bootcamp is only set to use the 9600M graphics card which is the one giving me all the heartache and apparently there's no way around it. If anyone has the slightest clue as to what's going on here or why it would be doing such a thing, let me know. Thanks.

Jon: Thanks for answering those questions. Run the Apple Hardware Test that you'll find on one of the DVDs that came with your MBP. If any errors are reported, go back to the Genius Bar with the error codes reported by AHT and ask to have the machine repaired.
If you have extended AppleCare protection, you have a TechTool Deluxe CD/DVD. You can also use that to test your hardware. If it reports any errors, take the exact wording and error codes from that report along with you to the GB, too.
The problem is not with your three external displays or your cables, adapters, or your MBP's mini-Displayport, because they all work fine with the 9400M. The problem isn't some wrong contact that's being made momentarily as you insert the mini-Displayport plug into the port, because it occurs even when the cable is securely connected before starting up the computer. It seems to me the problem must reside either in your 9600M GT or in its connection to the mini-displayport.

Graphics card issue or monitor issue?

Hello, i have a MacPro 2.66 w/ an ATI x1900 and a MacBookPro with th nVidia 8600
i recently purchased a 28" Hanns-g Display which i upgraded from my 20" apple cinema display, im curious if this could be a graphic issue or a monitor issue:
When i connect the 28" monitor to my ATI card (port 1) and boot into 10.4.10 (macPro) i noticed diagonal lines that seem to "scroll" (like an overscan line or something) on greyish and lighter backgrounds.
tried it with the second port, same thing, it does it on all resolutions
(it runs @ 1920x1200).
when i boot into XP and try the same sites i did in 10.4.10 it doesnt do it at all, its as it should.
I tried both VGA>DVI and HDMI>DVI to the ATI on OSX but it only does it with the HDMI>DVI connection under OSX, VGA looks fine.
(btw my ati card is clean as a whistle, no dust or anything)
However if i plug it into my MacBookPRo with hdmi>DVI it doesnt do that at all.
so im wondering probably incompatible monitor or what?
im looking to getting a 30" Apple Display but not if its gonna act up like that on my macpro, none of this appeared on my ACD 20".
any suggestions or tips?
thanks!

im not experiencing scan line son my 30" ACD display under OSX or XP with my ATI, could be the monitor you are using, but if its not doing it with your MBP than.....idk
sonds strange, try another gfx card or another macpro if possible.

Playing off the Timeline via firewire( XdCam pal) Monitoring Issues

Hey,
I have just switched to FCP and have found that when recording the from the FCP timeline manually via firewire into a Sony XDCam PDW530 I experience 4:3 flashes in the Camera monitor and viewfinder as the timeline plays down Video Transitions. All effects have been rendered (Blue line above transition)
However the Camera appears to record correctly to disc. I played the recorded material from the camera via an XD deck into a wide screen monitor and all appears fine the 4:3 flashes are not present on transitions. play the disc back in the camera and the 4:3 flashes for the duration of the Video Transitions return????
when playing out of the Camera via SDI and Analogue Composite outputs into a wide screen monitor all appears ok as well.
It's a little odd that you cannot monitor the output correctly on the XDcam. If i change the pull down settings from 2323 to 2332 it monitors the transitions correctly but the video aspect is somewhere between 4:3 and 16:9.
Shoot in 16:9 Capture DV Pal, Edit DV Pal, Playback Output Apple FireWire Pal (720 x 576)
Any ideas????

Thanks Shane,
We have been down the PRINT TO VIDEO road with the same playback issues in the XD Camera's LCD screen. We still see the 4:3 transition on the 16:9 image when playing off the timeline / playing back the recorded media in the camera and viewing on cameras screen .
I guess this is only a monitor issue. If you don't include any video effects it plays down 16:9 perfectly in the cameras monitor
What is recorded onto the disc is fine.
Also my understanding is the what's coming off the timeline is a DV stream so not sure how the GOP format comes into play. Recording onto a XD Cam off the timeline thru other edit programmes has never been an issue. I have come from Avid Pinnacle and the monitoring of transitions was never an issue when streaming back to the xdcam.
Thanks

Apple IIGS RGB Monitor How ot Hook up to test with a PC

Hi,
I'm hoping I came to thr right place. I have a Apple IIGS RGB monitor I have no way to test it. I no longer have my old IIGS to test this with. I came across this from someone tossing it out. I was hoping to make a RGB to VGA cable but was wondering if anyone has tried this and if tis possible, what did they test with an old pc? Or do you have a better alternative. THe best way it to get a IIGS but that isn't possible at this point. Any and all help would be really apprecaited. I would like to check the monitor and see if it works.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Many Apple displays of about that timeframe used a DB-15 (two rows of pins) connector. Adapters to VGA (three rows of pins) are readily available from multiple sources that deal in older Mac equipment. The adapters shuffle the five crucial signals (Red, Green+Intensity, Blue, Horizontal-Sync, and Vertical-Sync) so that they line up on the correct pins for VGA. There is only ONE way to connect the five key signals that will produce a picture, and every adapter (that is not defective) will connect those signals correctly.
You must be careful to get an adapter that has the right male and female connectors. There are two main types, one intended to adapt Mac displays to VGA computers, and the other intended to adapt older Mac computers to VGA displays.
Mac adapters also provide a code on pins 4, 7, and 10 that tells the older Mac what class of displays is attached, If you plan on using this with a Mac later, you will need the right adapter, or one with tiny switches. The various adapters differ ONLY in the ID bits on pins 4, 7, and 10, not in the basic connection of the Video signals.

Dell Tablet Dock FW Update 0.41.23, A03 with Dell Venue 11 Pro (7130/7139) - monitors issue

Hello,
I have Dell Venue 11 Pro (7130/7139).
I have installed “Dell Tablet Dock FW Update 0.41.23, A03” http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=97N0V (previous version was Version 0.41.19, A02). Installation completed successfully, but my monitors (connected though DP and HDMI) disappeared after installation (system do not see any monitor connected trough Dell Tablet Dock).
I have restarted system, disconnected / reconnected power from “Dell Tablet Dock” – nothing helped.
I tried to revert to previous version 0.41.19, A02, but the installation process requires monitors to be connected to “Dell Tablet Dock”. But they are connected, system simply do not see them!
Could you help me with this issue or with advice, hot to force previous version 0.41.19, A02 installation (to ignore monitor connection check)?
Thanks,
Aleksandrs

Hi,
I had almost the same problem. I used Dell Venue 11 Pro (7130/7139) with Dock and NEC MultiSync LCD 1770 NX through HDMI-DVi cable. There were no probs while tablet was on, however when it was sleeping or off the NEC MultiSync LCD 1770 NX permanently (each 2-3 seconds) showed the sign that there were no input signal. It was not critical for me, however it was one more my disappointment in Dell new products (I have used Dell latitude D620 and dock for 7 years without any problems, thats why I chose Dell Venue 11 Pro, assuming that the Dell quality remains the same... I was wrong, Dell Venue 11 Pro has too much loose ends).
Yesterday I updated Dock firmware to “Dell Tablet Dock FW Update 0.41.23, A03” and Dell lost NEC. I.e. the monitor was connected, but the tablet just did not want to see it or recognise. I connected dock to another monitor Samsung SyncMaster 226CW (took from my friend) through the same HDMI-DVI cable and found that it is working with it. So I decided to downgrade the Dock firmware to 0.41.19, A02 (the only previous version I found at dell support), however it was impossible with my NEC, as tablet didn't see it. I connected again the tablet to Samsung SyncMaster 226CW which was recognised through the dock and successfully downgraded the firmware to 0.41.19, A02. Afterwards connected my old NEC MultiSync LCD 1770 NX and fortunately it was found by my Dell tablet and dock. Now it's working.

Mid 2013 Macbook Air External Monitor Issues

I am running on 10.8.4 and am using a fully upgraded 2013 macbook air. i7, 8gb of ram, 512 ssd. Recently, I have been having issues connecting my computer to external displays. I have reset the PRAM, and the SMC multiple time with no luck. I have also deleted the windowserver plist files and that did not seem to do anything as well. The issue is as follows: when I plug in my laptop through the thunderbold port to the hdmi on my tv, the screen on my laptop goes blue, as normal, but then nothing shows up on my tv. I have used the same cable with my roomates macbook and it works just fine, on multiple tv's. Mine is not able to connect to any of those tv's. When looking at the display settings in system preferences, I do not see that it ahs detected any external displays. I am not sure what to do at this point.

I think I have fixed it somehow. I reset the PRAM while the tv was plugged in and it worked, but it seems that something may be wrong with my video card, because there was a bunch of fuzziness and weird colors on my computer's monitor for a few seconds before everything went to normal

Windows 7 and Multiple Monitor Issues

Alright, I have spent the past 3 days searching these forums as well as on Microsoft's support pages and all of Google to find the answer to my issue and it seems as though I'm the only one who is running into this problem.
I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro with the GeForce 9600M GT Nvidia Graphics card with the latest version of Mac OSX and Bootcamp installed on it. I have Windows 7 installed in bootcamp. I just purchased a Mini DisplayPort to VGA cord with a VGA cord so as to connect my computer to my Sony Bravia HDTV to use as a second monitor. I plug in the cords, plug them into my TV, and put it into the proper input and it works like a charm. Then I go and boot up in bootcamp under Windows 7, plug in the cord, and my screen gets to the "starting windows" logo and then it goes black. I push ever button, I try control alt delete, nothing. I have to hold down the power button to turn off the computer and then turn it back on.
I turn it on, boot up into Windows 7, let it load, then plug in the cord, and the computer display instantly goes black, again, and yet nothing displays on the TV. Again, I try everything to no avail, so I power it off and back on. I go through this at least 10 times to no avail. I finally give up and try again the next day.
Next day, I plug it in, and the monitor stays up, but yet nothing is displayed on the TV. I go to my resolution settings in Windows, and go to the multiple monitors tab, and select every possible option (extend, duplicate, etc) and nothing will display on my TV. I try to change the settings to which it responds with "unable to save display settings" and nothing changes. I attempt to enter the nvidia program and make changes that way. The TV is detected, but when I select it and attempt to apply anything, no changes take effect and I am left with only the laptop display. Keep in mind I uninstalled and reinstalled all of the video drivers and such.
Finally I get fed up so I purchase a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapted and a DVI to HDMI adapter. I try again. Again in OSX it launches immediately, no problems. I go back into Windows, and immediately I'm dealing with the instant black screen.
I'm going crazy over here trying to figure this out. I know it's possible to do this because I've seen people on youtube doing this and again it works on OSX so why the heck won't it work? If anyone has any idea what's going on here please help me out. Thanks.

JonMarx... I'm having the exact same problem. I'm in the exact same situation as you are. I'm going mad, and it's only by divine providence that I've finally located the only other person who knows what I've been going through. I've spent at least 20 hours trying to get this started back up, to no avail.
I had the secondary display working peachy for a while, long enough to configure everything to be exactly how I wanted it. I unplugged the monitor from the computer just to see what would happen, and that's when the problems started. I managed to get it to work one last time for a brief period a few hours later, but the way it just clicked on made it feel too good to be true.
I've had a wierd problem with a phantom display as well. The display will frequently show up as being available in both the nVIDIA panel and the windows settings, but if I apply the settings, they won't go through. I got a few screenshots of it the last time it happened.
I was just about to reinstall windows completely, but it seems that I'll just run into the same problem again if I do... Here's to hoping a solution is found.

Dual monitor issue with 10.8 and Windows 7 (bootcamp)

I've a read a lot of threads here about people having nightmare-ish problems after upgrading. Thankfully, this isn't one of them, just a frustration that I'd like advice on.
My system: 2010 13" MBP, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, 320GB HD. Work setup has external 17" Dell Widescreen monitor connected with VGA to miniDisplay adapter. Home theater setup has 23" Dell monitor connected with HDMI to miniDisplay cable.
I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8, as I like to stay up to date and it seemed ML fixed many of the Lion issues. After finding out Front Row is completely gone I just about reverted (my laptop doubles as my home theater control). I found XBMC, and it works, sort of (anyone with news on whether Front Row will be returned to us, let me know!).
Enough babbling, my issue:
When I switch from bootcamp windows 7 back to OS X, my second monitor's resolution is all screwed up (very low) and the dock and menu bar are BOTH on the second (Dell 17") screen, though it's not in a mirror mode.
Usually the dock is on the laptop screen, and the menu bar is on the second.
All I have to do is unplug the miniDisplay port and plug it back in, but is there a setting I'm missing to keep me from having to do this? Also, I've never used Windows at home, so I've never had to switch with the 23 inch monitor connected. Don't really want to try as that system is working quite well right now.
Thanks!
-Rob

It's NVidia GeForce 320M.
Just checked the drivers page and the Mac side only lists up to 10.6.8
Should I assume that the update needs to be on the Windows 7 side? At one point last November I tried to update on the Windows side and it caused all sorts of **** on my system causing me to have to reinstall both OS X and 7.
May be worth another try?

IDOC Monitoring issue - job BPM_DATA_COLLECTION* not running.

Hi all,
We are facing an issue with BPM "IDOC Monitoring" (under application monitoring), which we have setup to monitor Inbound and Outbound Idocs in 2 separate R/3 systems.
In one system it works fine, and measured values are returned each time the monitor is set to run according to the specified schedule.
However, for another R/3 system, the monitor has never run, even though the settings are identical in the monitoring setup.
From reading the Interfaces Monitoring Setup guide, I found that this monitor depends on a job called BPM_DATA_COLLECTION* which runs in the monitored system. In the system where monitoring is functioning correctly, I can see this job is completing successfully at the time the monitor is set to run. All I find is completed jobs - no scheduled or released jobs present.
However, for the system where the monitoring is not functioning, I found that this job is not running, but that the job is sitting in scheduled status instead.
When I tested manually running the job in this system, it ran successfully, and in Solution Manager the monitor brought back the measured value, so the monitor only ran successfully when I manually ran the job in the monitored system.
I read notes 1321015 & 1339657 relating to IDOC monitoring. 1321015 appears to be more relevant, yet it does not exactly describe my issue - it mentions the job BPM_DATA_COLLECTION* failing rather than just remaining in scheduled status which is what I see.
Anyone else see this issue before?
On a more general point - the standard BPM Setup guide doesn't really go into much detail on IDOC Monitoring, and makes no mention of what is happening in the background, i.e. the job BPM_DATA_COLLECTION* being created and run as per schedule. This info is found in a separate document "Interface Monitoring Setup Guide".
Is there any single document which describes fully what happens both in the Solution Manager and the Monitored systems when BPM is activated? For example, to describe which monitors require jobs to be run, which monitors require additional setup in monitored system, etc? A document such as this which describes exactly the process flow for each monitor would be very useful in troubleshooting issues going forward.
Thanks,
John

Hello John,
most probably the user assigned to the corresponding RFC READ connection that connects SolMan with the backend system doesn't have proper authorization to release a job. That's why it is only created/scheduled but not released. Verify if the RFC user on the backend has the latest CSMREG profile assigned according to SAP note 455356.
You can also check if the latest ST-PI support package is installed on your backend system as the ST-PI usualy contain the latest definition of CSMREG.
Best Regards
Volker

Display profiles and soft proofing Windows RGB / Monitor RGB

This might have asked before, but I did not find any definite answer for this. Sorry this gets a bit long.
Short question:
What's the difference between softproofing with Windows RGB and Monitor RGB targets? I see differences in my image between these targets.
Long question(s):
Here's some reasoning.. let me know when I go wrong.
I have hardware calibrated my display Spyder 3 elite to sRGB standard. I have understood that the generated display profile contains a LUT table that affects gamma values for each RGB component, so that affects both gamma and color temperature. That table is loaded into video card when Windows starts. In addition to the LUT table, the display profile contains what? Probably information on what color space the display has been calibrated to. Does that matches directly with the LUT table information, but may deviate from sRGB in the case my monitor cannot reproduce sRGB 100%?
Now if I have image that that is in sRGB, but the embedded sRGB profile has been stripped away, should any non color management aware image viewer show the colors properly, if it is assumed that 1) my monitor can handle full sRGB space and 2) my monitor was succesfully calibrated to sRGB and the LUT table has been loaded into video card?
Or does it still require a color management aware program to show the image, which implies that the LUT table information alone is not enough and the display profile contains some extra information that is needed to show the image correctly? I would think this is true, as I needed to turn on color management in Canon Zoom Browser to see images in it the same way as in Photoshop.
Now to the original question, what's the difference in Photoshop when soft proofing with Windows RGB and Monitor RGB targets
I read from www.gballard.net that
Photoshop can effectively "SoftProof" our web browser color:
Photoshop: View> Proof SetUp> Windows RGB
Photoshop's Soft Proof screen preview here simulates how unmanaged applications, web browsers, will display the file on 2.2 gamma monitors, based on the sRGB profile. If the file is based on sRGB and our monitor gamma is 2.2 and D/65 6500 degrees Kelvin, we should see very little shift here, which is the goal.
Photoshop: View> Proof SetUp> Monitor RGB
THIS IS WHERE the color-brightness-saturation problem will repeat consistantly.
Soft Proofing Monitor RGB here strips-ignores the embedded ICC profile and Assigns-Assumes-Applies the Monitor profile or color space.
The color and density changes seen here show the difference between the monitor profile and the source profile sRGB.
I'm not sure how to read that. Assume here that my monitor has been calibrated to sRGB and the PS working space sRGB. Do in both cases photoshop strip away color profile from the image at first? What happens after that? Does in Windows RGB case Photoshop pass the color values as they are to display? What does it do in "Monitor RGB" case then? Does it assign my monitor profile to the image? If it does, does there also happen conversion from one color space to another? In either one conversion there must happen as the soft proofing results are different. Does either one cause "double profiling" to the image as the monitor is already calibrated?
Thanks

Windows defaults to sRGB if you don't calibrate your monitor so untagged sRGB files should display (more or less) correctly in applications that don't know about color management on systems with uncalibrated monitors.
When proofing against Windows RGB you're proofing against sRGB, it will show you how applications that don't know about color management on an uncalibrated monitor will show the image. This is what you proof against if you want to see how the image will display in web browsers.
When you proof against Monitor RGB, Photoshop will assign your monitor's icc profile to the image which tends to be utterly useless most of the time.

Monitor issues with Macbook Pro and Thunderbolt

having issues getting my HP 2311 monitor to work on thunderbolt cable to DVI, help?
It keeps freezing computer, or going blue screen.

Concerning this comment:
I know that neither the adapter nor the VGA cable have a problem since I connected the computer to my 1080p TV and it worked just fine...
I would like to point out that 1080p has a lower pixel clock than will 1920 x 1200. So it could be the stability problem is only present when the pixel clock is at the high end of the range.
You could return the adapter and try another. A new one might have better margins. Another thing you could try is to use a utility like SwitchResX to lower the pixel clock and see if stability improves.
