roger thank you but it is solve.
actualy when you booth the resolution is correct, my mistake was to go to system preference and change the resolution to the 1600,the 1900 does not show in system preference but it does on about this mac

NX7100GS sets wrong native resolution through DVI

I was working ok with this configuration:
CPU: Pentium 4 2.26GHz
Motherboard: Asus P4PE
Video: MSI FX5200 VTD128 (AGP)
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 940BW (19 inch wide) using DVI connector at 1440x900.
Then changed my PC, but kept the monitor. The new confguration is:
CPU: Core2 Duo 1.8GHz
Motherboard: Asus P5N-E SLI
Video: MSI NX700GS TD128E (PCI-X)
Now I can't use the 1440x900 resolution with DVI. The card forces the monitor to work at 1280x1024 (I can see this in the monitor info panel), so everything looks blurry and the width of the desktop doesn't fit on the screen. It works ok with the VGA connector.
I'm using nVidia Forceware 162.18
Please help. Thanks.

Richard
I found this setting 3 times:
Control Panel/Display Properties/Settings/Screen resolution says: 1440 by 900 pixels (maximum).
NVIDIA Control Panel/Display/Change resolution says: 1440 by 900 pixels (maximum).
NVIDIA Control Panel/Display/Change flat panel scaling says: Native resolution 1440 by 900, current resolution: 1440 by 900
BUT
The monitor (using the physical monitor buttons) says 1280x1024.
Also, I noticed all the software settings say 60 Hz, but the monitor says 75 Hz.
Thanks in advance

No Native Res with DVI/HDMI but OK with DVI/VGA cable on Loewe 32" LCD

Hi there, I am a little confused about connecting my mini to my Loewe Individual LCD TV and coudl do with some help.
I purchased a DVI to HDMI cable at enormous cost because my experience of DVI versus VGA is like night and day and I wanted to have the best possible connection to my HD TV.
The problem is that when I connect the mini with the DVI/HDMI cable the native resolution of my TV is not available. (1366x768 or thereabouts) The only resolutions to choose from are 1920 x 1080? and 1024 X 768. Using overscan on the 1024 fills the screen correctly but looks all stretched.
Instead I connected with a VGA cable and the correct resolution is automatically detected immediately and there is no problem at all.
I am a little bit confused as to why it works fine with VGA but not with DVI/HDMI. The VGA connection looks OK but why compromise when you shoudln't have to?

First of all, I am far from an expert but as I said, from my experience and after reading a LOT, HDMI cannot support 1366x768, that is why the TV goes without picture if you try. Why? I don't know.
Now, DVI is almost like VGA, both are analog, and can support 1366x768 or 1920x1200. But since you go from DVI output from the Mac Mini to the HDMI cable, screen goes black, blue, etc, res no supported.
That is why some people don't have problems with the powerbook and their HDTV's, and then they try with the DVI-HDMI adaptor (normally with the mac mini) and it's no good.
The thing is, you can get 720p, 1280x720 but with overscan, so with DisplayconfigX you go from:
1280x720 (720p)
128 Front Porch 10
80 Sync 5
200 Back Porch 15
1688 Total 750
to
1240x680
128 Front Porch 19
80 Sync 5
240 Back Porch 38
1688 Total 750
for example, with this setup you get the image cut to a minimum.
As you can see the totals are in both cases 1688 750. As soon as you don't respect this totals, like in this example:
1366x768
28 Front Porch 5
80 Sync 5
40 Back Porch 15
1514 Total 793
your TV won't be able to dispay the image. But with VGA the totals don't matter!!!!, that is why it works with one cable and not with the other.
Apple should update the Intel graphic card drivers, maybe that would help.

Cant use DVI-D port with DVI-D cable from Pav 500-100a to HP W2207 monitor

I have a new Pav 500-100a factory standard with no mods. A HP w2207 monitor.
Currently connect fine with VGA to the DVI-D port with the adapter that came with the pc. I've setup Windows, updated to 8.1, put in my files from my old PC and all was well except video isnt that good.
I got a DVD cable form work but its a DVI-I cable. It took 5 mins before windows comes up and then whenever the background picture changed in the theme it hung for a few seconds. I read that I need a DVD-D cable which i purchasd today.
The packet says its a CL-DVI2M - DVI M/M 24+1 CABLE 2M. The tech in the shop says its a good calbe and will work fine.
When connected and I power up I get teh hp logo and rolling dots then it goes blank.
I reconnect teh VGA cable and its all fine - using the VGA to DVI adapter.
I ran msconfig and turned of safe boot - restarts and comes up fine in safe mode. I set the resolution to 1280x800 and restarted and reconnected the DVI cable - blank again.
If I put the VGA cable back in it boots fine. The monitor has been factory reset and seens the DVI connection but Windows remains blank. Also tried booting first with no cable - connect teh DVI and the monitor remains in sleep - power reset teh monitor and still blank also shows no DVO conenction.
I fI power up with DVI connected I can get to BIOS, and i see the HP logo and dots as Win 8 starts.
I dont know what else I can try. I have no other usable video card with DVI
Any ideas out there?
Pls help - Steve

Hi Steve,
Only connect one active video cable to the monitor and do not use any adapters.
Use a flashlight and examine the DVI connector on the monitor. Which DVI type is it?
Some of the older HP monitors have DVI issues so you might want to check with HP Support and see if you have one of those models.
An older post a long time back indicated that audio also had to be feed to the monitor (claimed by a poster). If this is indeed true then it's a monitor design flaw. So, you could use a native HDMI cable and test out that claim.

Resolution via DVI lower then via VGA

Hello,
I need your support for my new HW composition.
I have a new DELL Latitude E5440 and the fitting DockingStation DELL PR02X.
Connecting my monitor via DVI I get a max. resolution of 1440x900.
Connecting my monitor via VGA I get a max. resolution of 1680x1050 (max of monitor).
With my former laptop of FSC I could use the monitor via VGA in the highest resolution.
Can you please help me to get the high resolution via DVI?
Thank you very much for your help in advance,
Scorino

Hello,
the Docking station is using dual link DVI.
The docking station has two Display Ports...one under each DVI port.
Currently I don't own a display port adapter and no display with a display port.
Furthermore DVI dual link should be able to get a resolution of 2048 x 1536 Pixel, not 1280 x 1024.
I would like to use this docking station with DVI and high resolution (Full HD).
Currently I don't understand why this is not possible.
My last laptop was able to produce Full HD to my displays via the same cable.
Just the Laptop and the docking station changed. I'm sorry that I cannot connect DVI directly to the laptop, because there is no port available.
Thanks for your answer in advance.

Using External monitor with DVI kills wireless connectivity

I recently purchased a BenQ G2400WD 24" 1920x1200 monitor, for use with my May 2007 GMA 950 2.0Ghz. Macbook.
Upon receiving the monitor, I immediately plugged it in to my Macbook, using the Mini-DV to VGA adaptor I already had, for use with projectors. The monitor was good, but a bit blurry and not too sharp, due to the analog signal. So I ordered a Mini-DVI to DVI adaptor. When it arrived, the improved picture quality was immediately apparent.
However, as time went on, I noticed my wireless connectivity was getting terrible. Extremely slow Safari page load times, and upon going to Terminal and pinging my router, I would often get response times of 21000 milliseconds, or worse! I did a lot of research, on router firmware, on wireless connectivity, etc., but to no prevail. Then, on a whim, while continually pinging my router, I removed the DVI adaptor from my monitor. The ping instantly dropped from tens of full seconds to just a stable 0.4 milliseconds! Using my VGA connection resulted in no worse wireless connectivity than without it, but upon plugging in DVI and stressing the connection a bit (i.e. downloading a large file), the connection went bonkers. The pings also immediately jump from 0.4 milliseconds to a range of 1-4 milliseconds, regardless of any "stressing".
I have done numerous research, including searching both here and on other discussion forums. It appears this problem with DVI connection is fairly common, but with no resolution so far. Any help would be great!
A few important notes:
-Both ends of both my VGA cable and my DVI cable are shielded.
-I have tried numerous channel changes of my router, to no prevail.
-While using DVI, EVERYTHING works well except the wireless. So the monitor isn't too demanding for my computer.
And I hope my thorough post didn't scare you away!

I have this same issue with the dvi and wireless disconnect. I am using a samsung 214T. I am glad to know i am not the only one seeing this, because it is kind of one of those things that is hard to believe. Anyway, I am also curious what kind of routers people have who are experiencing this issue. I am using a wrt54GL with tomato firmware.
Also, In addition to the disconnect, my picture quality on my monitor gradually degrades over time...starting with what looks like snow flecks. After waking from screen saver, sometimes it is full static. Turning off and turning back on the monitor clears the static away.
I can use another samsung 19in monitor with dvi without any problems.

Connecting a regular Monitor with DVI

I'm wondering if I can connect a pc-monitor to the apple TV using a HDMI-DVI cable?
Instead of using a TV I want to use a pc-monitor with DVI input.
Is this possible or do I have to connect really a TV?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
There would be a couple of issues to overcome. One is already mentioned by JG, HDCP is often not supported by DVI, you would need to check. Then there's a resolution issue the GPU of the tv may not support the native resolution of a large monitor, also your picture may or may not fill the screen and WS tv is 16:9, WS monitors are typically 16:10. Finally DVI doesn't carry audio so you would need to take care of audio in another way.
It's not impossible, there are those that use them with the tv, but you would need to check your particular monitor would work.

How to connect my Mac Air 13" to my Philips display with DVI and VGA ports?

How to connect my Mac Air 13" to my Philips display with DVI and VGA ports?

Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.

How can I connect a laptop with DVI to an Apple LED Cinema Display 27"

I have an old Mac Book Pro 2007 and a PC laptop, both with DVI.
I simply can't find a DVI to mini display adapter.
Can this be true?

Be careful. Make sure your laptop's DVI output is a dual-link DVI output. Otherwise it won't work correctly with the 27" through any adapter.

Clear enclosure 23" cinema display with DVi connector?

Hi all,
I went to a local Mac store (Not Apple) where I was shown a supposedly 23" HD cinema display (clear enclosure) with a DVI CONNECTOR directly built in. I was under the impression that all clear enclosure versions natively came with the ADC connector and that if DVI was warranted, a converted was necessary. To my surprise, Apple apparently made two clear enclosure versions, both ADC and DVI. I've verified under the spec. area of this site. But, there were no 23" clear enclosure with DVI, except of course, the current 23 version which is the aluminum. So, was the more likely scenario that this rep. had shown me a 22 with DVI or is there really a 23 version with DVI. I was convinced at the time myself that it was a 23 clear enclosure version with a DVI connector. I saw with my own eyes that this display did not have a converter connected and it looked like the 23 as opposed to a 22. The 22 & 23 looks so similar and can be mistaken for each other. One of the ways of identifying readily is that the 22 has the power/brightness controls near the bottom right of the casing. Could someone confirm either way. Thanks!

Hi-
I agree that the rep probably showed you a 22" DVI model. See page 8 of the 22" Cinema Display Manual for the cabling of the display.
You will see the DVI version of the Cinema Display listed in this article. The article was put out prior to the Aluminum housed ACD release.

Apple Cinema Display with DVI to VGA graphic adapter... HELP

A friend of mine has a PC (Windows XP based) and is using the Apple Cinema Display. Since his graphic card has both vga and dvi slot, he can plug the monitor to DVI and got it working, but when he tried to plug it into the VGA slot using DVI to VGA converter, it did not work. Is there a need of special converter or adapter?

Hi royz86,
To run a DVI display off a VGA output, you need a rather expensive converter box. These converters vary in performance, reliablility and application possibilities and certainly don't compare with using a native DVI output.
Your friend was probably trying to use a DVI to VGA adaptor (which won't work "the other way around"). It works by grabbing the analogue signal that is included in a DVI-I output and setting up a VGA output that way. These don't work with DVI-D outputs, by the way.
Cheers!

Trouble with DVI to S-Video/Composite on 480i TV

Please help. Just connected my 480i TV with my 2008 mac mini. First connection worked perfectly. I changed the screen resolution and now all I have is a flickering black & white tv. I've tried almost every possible screen resolution with no luck.
Help?

I can explain the behavior with AirDisplay. OS X has the ability to store different display settings according to how many screens are in use. AirDisplay counts as two screens being in use, same as like attaching an external display to a laptop. So OS X is using different settings for that configuration. As soon as the second display goes away, OS X reverts to settings last in use for the single display configuration.
Maybe restarting in Safe mode and changing the resolution to 480i will be all you need to do. That is also covered in the link the was previously sent.

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

Can I use a 2009 iMac as external display for 2007 macbook pro with DVI port only

I have a late 2009 imac with minidisplay port and a 2007 macbook pro with DVI port. I connected a mini diaplay port to DVI cable but all I get on the imac is a blank screen when I press F2. Can I use the imac this way?

I'm not sure if it works with DVI but your late 2009 must be a 27". Try Command-F2 or Copmmand-Fn-F2

Z97M GAMING no hdmi signal with DVI converter

My monitor has VGA/DVI only (Samsung SyncMaster 213T), I have a HDMI to DVI converter in the DVI port, this works with the HDMI out from my laptop.
Am putting together a Z97M/4790K rig. I get no signal at the monitor from the Z97M's HDMI out, if I connect it to a TV I do get a signal.
Am using the same (short) HDMI cable and adaptor with both the laptop and the new Z79M, used the same cable to connect the Z79M to the TV.
So the cable and converter are good (they work with the laptop) and the Z79M HDMI port and cable are good with the TV.
Anyone have any idea why the Z97M HDMI output wont display on my monitor? (Any bios settings to make the HDMI signal more compatable?)

Yes, to be clear, there is no GPU. When I say the Z97M's HDMI out I mean the output from the Z97M motherboard. I have tried it with a second screen, the TV (it worked).
Logically one of two things must be happening... either the Z97M's HDMI signal isn't making it through the DVI/HDMI adaptor (when the laptop's signal is), or the monitor cannot process the Z97M's HDMI signal (when it can process the laptop's).
HDMI and DVI signals are the same, so the adaptor is just a plug converter ('square plug in round hole') and unlikely to be the issue, especially as it works with the laptop.
But both the monitor and laptop (which work together with HDMI and the DVI converter) are >5 years old. The Z97M is very new and could be it's HDMI output just isn't compatable in some way with the (relatively) old monitor.
Hence am wondering (for example) if there are any Z97M bios settings which might make it talk nicely to the old monitor.
Be interested to hear if anyone has had issues (or even success!) using the HDMI out with DVI monitors, especially old Samsung SyncMasters ?
