Rgb monitor on gf4ti4200-vtd64

I am trying to use a non (ddc) plug and play 19" RGB coax monitor as my second vga display on my gf4ti4200-vtd64. It works with my other pci and agp cards  but the ti4200 card doesn't detect it and there is no way to get win xp to install a display driver for it (that I have found). Is there anyway to force this card to use both vga ports.
Thanks

The problem is resolved.
After turning on and off the computer several times - that did nothing.
I put a different monitor into the computer - and that worked fine.
I put my Apple monitor back into the computer - and when it restarted - all was well.
I haven't a clue why. One person here suggested "moisture" between the cable and the computer --
Thanks for letting me have a place to put this, even if no one responded. And yes, I'm glad it's a go again...

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • RGB Monitor has lost R

    I turned on my G5 this morning, and looked at what was almost monochromatic. The RGB screen was no longer RGB. As I type this I notice a little bit of Red creeping back in. The PDF icons - which are normally bright red are still black. However, the QuarkXPress icons have a bit of red coming in.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this and if yes -- was there anything that could be done?
    Is my monitor going?
    This is the first time for this for my computer.

    Also I need to Know (iF) how to activate the second vga port using a non plug and play (RGB) monitor?

    Have you tried the nVidia Detonator reference drivers from nVidia's website? Try 41.09 and see what happens. Personally I tend to stay away from MSI's VGA drivers.

  • Qosmio x70-A-12 - question about the usage of external monitor

    Hello,
    am about to buy an external monitor and I was wondering what would work with my laptop.
    I want it to work as an additional surface (Not a copy of my current screen) with both screens working at the same time.
    My laptop seems to have a VGA port and an HDMI port.
    I have already tried through the HDMI port with an old -probablybroken- monitor but that didnt work out.
    I dunno if that's due to the monitor or my laptop.
    I also tried searching for VGA monitors but when I checked the specs for my laptop it didnt list that it could connect a monitor via VGA....
    Anyone knows what actually would work?..
    thanks in advance!

    As you already said: the notebook supports the VGA (RGB) monitor out port as well as the HDMI out port.
    So you can use one of the ports in order to connect the external monitor.
    Nowadays the HDMI port is a standard interface which is supported by almost all external monitors and I would recommend you to use the HDMI connection. The HDMI supports digital signals and provides better picture quality.
    So its your choice now to pick a good working external monitor.

  • Can I connect 2 External monitors simultaneously on Toshiba notebook?

    Hi,
    I am interested to find out which of toshiba laptop's currently on offer do support 2 external monitors simultaneously (one as normal and second as extended dekstop in windows). I am looking for to replace my old configuration of laptop and docking station connected to two external monitors with resolution of 1280x1024.
    I was looking on toshiba websita at

    together with Port Replicator PA3680U-1PRP then some other laptop that do have port replicator but no where on the website I was able to find if any concrete model does support the dual use of the two port (VGA and HDMI or VGA and DVI)
    I was looking on the Port Replicator PA3680U-1PRP user guide at http://www.csd.toshiba.com
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=2756712& rpn=PA3680U&modelFilter=PA3680U-1PRP&selCategory=2756711&selFamily=116319
    and in the troubelshouting part I did found this:
    Cannot display information to a
    DVD-D and RGB Monitor at the
    same time
    Check that the cables connecting the monitors are firmly attached on
    both ends. Some computer models do not support output to DVI and RGB
    monitors simultaneously. Check the documentation for your computer
    model.
    But even if you find on http://www.csd.toshiba.com the pdf's of detailed spec's and user guides, there is no information about if they do support simultant output to monitors or not and what is the maximum resolution supported for this.
    Thanks for any help

  • DVI to RGB  cable does not seem to work

    When I connect my MBP to my HDTV via a DVI to HMDMI converter cable I get excellent, razor sharp images. However when I connect using a DVI to RGB cable all I get is garbled signals. Any ideas on what I should be doing different? Thanks in advance!

  • Triple monitor Card for CS5.5?

    I am looking to expand my desktop from 2 monitors to three but still get the plusses of CUDA and hardware acceleration. Does anyone know what options I have? I have a Matrox MXO2 mini on the system for HDMI output to am HD flatscreen, but would dearly love the extra real estate of a third 21" monitor. My curreent card is not officially capable of hardware acceleration. It's a GTX 280. I was looking at the GTX 590. THoughts on if that sucker would work for me?
    Appreciate the assist!

    I have three monitors that I want for the desktop real estate. My MXO2 mini device sends HDMI video out to an HD flatscreen TV for video monitoring. I want to simply expand the desktop. In essence I'd have three 22" RGB monitors and one 36" HDTV.
    I've got a plan to do that now that may not cost me an arm and a leg. I still need to upgrade my video card from the GTX 280 to something beefier, and I can still keep my more than adequate PSU without having to upgrade it as well. I can wait just a bit on that. I've got a friend who just a few moments ago said he'd let me borrow a simple little USB2.0 to DVI adapter to connect my third monitor. It supposedly supports resolutions up to 1920x1200. If it works, my setup will only cost me about an additional $100US (until I upgrade the video card, that is!) Heres the link to the device of which I speak: http://www.startech.com/AV/USB-Video-Adapters/Professional-USB-DVI-External-Dual-or-Multi- Monitor-Video-Adapter~USB2DVIPRO  If it works, I'll post the info here.
    FYI, my plan is to have the Premiere timeline on one monitor, the clip bin, effects panels, etc on another, and the audio mixer on the third with room for a browser window or other application available. I could also move things around and have Photoshop or After Effects available too. 
    Thanks for all the information y'all have posted! I really do appreciate and am thnkful for the knowledge y'all possess!

  • Apple 21" studio Display monitor-help

    I have a G4 and just got an apple 21" studio display monitor
    I work in photoshop CS2 what do I put the resolution at? Color and refresh?
    what should the white point and gamman be? what should the profile on themonitor display?
    I WENT INTO THE PREFERENCES AND LOOKED AT THE DISPLAY..THANKS..JAN

    (for my photos the service I use said to use sRGB the resolution)....
    Then open CS2 and under Photoshop scroll down to Color Settings, go to Work Space and set the RGB tab to sRGB. At the top of the menu under Monitor it should be your Apple 21" Display.
    If it is not then it will change after you calibrate the monitor. Open System Preferences/Desktop and change your desktop to a medium gray (you can change it back after you make the necessary color corrections). Now choose Display, select your preferred screen resolution, and millions of color. Now choose Color from the upper tab to Calibrate the monitor. If you check the box "Show profile for this display only" the menu will be simplified. Now select Calibrate and use the professional mode. Just follow the on screen instructions and do all of the color setting using the 1.8 gamma and native whiter point.
    After the monitor is calibrated you will be asked to save and name the calibration. I would recommend a name similar but different from the default Apple 21" Display setting, you can even include the date if you calibrate often.
    Reopen Photoshop and check the Work Space the RGB/Monitor the setting should be your recent selected calibration.

  • Using ICC Monitor Profiles

    Hello,
    I produce ICC RGB monitor profiles for use with Photoshop using an Eye One Photo. Can FCP, or other software, translate those profiles so I know my LCD monitor is displaying color and contrast accurately for editing with FCP? If not, is there a better way to set up a LCD monitor than using Apple's standard calibration?
    Thanks,
    Drew Harty

    It will never have the accuracy that an external video monitor will have. The gammas don't match those that a TV set produces... if you really want accuracy you need an external Video monitor that includes a blue only button on it. Colorists would insist on a CRT.

  • InDesign 5 changes automatically RGB to CMYK, is possible?

    Hello everyone,
    First at all, I'm Spanish so I apologize my faults writing.
    I always work with RGB (monitor, profile color Adobe, printers, documents, etc...), because all my printers suppliers have this color profile in their prints.
    The problem:
    When I have a red box in RGB and I paste a PSD document (without background and RGB), automatically the red box change to darker its appearence. And depend on the design of differents page the appearence in PDF is different.
    Please, anyone could help me??
    Thank you very much.

    First off, you should PLACE, not paste, the art from Photoshop. When you paste you get only the low resolution screen preview.
    As for the darkening, I think this may be the same effect that makes type look bolder when you add transparency to a page. It shows up on screen and in low resolution prints, but generally not with press output. You've used a spot color, are you going to press, or are you using a different output method. You really should use spots only when the output method uses real spot ink.
    The other thing to check is your transparency flattener blend space. I think in this case you probably want Document RGB, but if it's already set for that, see waht happens if you switch to CMYK. I'm not certain what happens with the spot colors in either option if there is no direct interaction with transparency.
