Upgraded to LCD monitor, but unrecognized

Hi.
I have upgraded from a plug and play monitor to a Dell LCD which accepts DVI, but I'm keeping my same Geforce4 Ti 4400.  The problem is that I can't get my card to recognize that it is plugged into the DVI slot.   I'm currently running on the D-Sub connector, but I believe a better picture would come from using the DVI connector.
Can anyone help me with the procedure to activate my DVI slot?

Do you have the latest driver for both the card and the monitor?
I have an older nvidia card and the DVI just doesn't work consistently.  I've set it to analog until I can get a new vid card.

  • 6100 PPC connect to a modern LCD monitor

    For old timers. Believe it or not, I have an exhibit that has several video game type interactives run by several 6100 PPCs. I don't know exactly what type: 6100/60, 66 or AV. They run mid-1990s Apple monitors that look great after over ten years of use. I'd like to remove the Apple CRTs and replace them with modern LCD monitors, but I don't know if a 12 or 13 year old computer (especially a low-end version to start with) will run them. I have a PPC 9600/300 and a Beige G3/266 to take parts from, if that's useful. The G3 has an extra PCI video card. The 9600 came with a separate video card I think. I hope the 6100 is running OS9. I'd like to keep using the 6100s for reasons that are beyond the scope of this forum. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can hook an LCD up to the built-in video port on your 6100s without a new video card. The LCD will be able to run at least as well as your original displays. They may run even at a higher resolution, but that isn't guaranteed. You won't loose any capability with this change but you will need an adapter to use an LCD.
    If you happen to be replacing Apple AudioVision 14 displays (how could you!!), you might not have any adapters to start with. But if you had any other display, you should have adapters that convert the rather large port on the back of your 6100s (called HDI-45) to a typical Mac monitor port. You can get an additional adapter that goes from the typical Mac monitor port to a VGA port, the port that your LCD will have. So it will go LCD -> VGA to standard Mac adapter -> Standard Mac to HDI-45 adapter -> 6100.
    You also could get one adapter that goes directly from VGA to the HDI-45 port on the back of the 6100s, but I'd recommend the dual adapter method if you already have the first adapter. That's the way I always did it and it left me the option of using any kind of monitor, VGA, Mac, or AudioVision.
    If you do choose to install a video card, this will allow you to get higher resolutions and more colors on your LCD, beyond where you were before. You must also get a right-angle adapter for this card because the 6100 requires the card to be installed sideways unlike the 7100 and 8100. This adapter is somewhat hard to find. A Sonnet Crescendo G3 upgrade card can serve as a right-angle adapter but those are kind of pricey.
    Note that some video cards are NuBus and some are PDS. You need the proper right-angle adapter. The Sonnet Crescendo G3 upgrade card works with PDS video cards. (Most video cards for the 6100 are PDS.) Some right angle adapters are yet a third kind of strange slot intended to be used with a DOS card. These will not work with any video cards I am aware of.
    Please check out this wonderful 6100 website, if not for reference, at least for fun:

  • Cant Get Optimal Resolution with Lenovo L192 LCD Monitor after GeForce video driver upgrade

    Hello,
    I just upgraded my GeForce video drivers for the integrated GeForce 6100 video chipset in my Lenovo 3000 series desktop.  My monitor is a Lenovo L192 LCD.  It has been working fine but I decided to upgrade the video drivers.  After installation and reboot, I can no longer get the optimal resolution of 1440 x 900 for this monitor.  The highest resolution offered is 1360 x 768.  I had this same problem the last time I upgraded the video drivers but somehow I manged or someone told me how to get the higher resolution.  I reverted back to the old driver that was working fine and now I can't get the higher resolution with that driver either.  I think I have the latest driver provided by Lenovo for the monitor.
    I am running Windows XP SP3.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Could you fix it or does anyone else have a solution?

  • Upgraded to windows 10 but my hp s2031 monitor flickers

    I upgraded to windows 10 but the monitor looks like it only goes up to 8. Need a driver available for 10. I ran a system check for I installed windows 10 and it was fine. Only problem is the monitor. Could anybody help please?

    2 possible solutions,
    1. You installed software for XP, if so uninstall the software then download and install this Vista software
    2. Remove the memory card from the camer and insert into a card reader if you have one.

  • LCD Monitor with B&W G3 Tower

    Hello, I am looking to replace my 17" Apple Studio Display CRT on my G3 B&W Tower with an LCD monitor. My questions are: 1) Will my computer (VGA port) accept any current LCD screens on the market, or do I have to stay with Apple's LCD monitors? 2) There are several Apple Studio LCD Displays offered on eBay. They mention DVI and ADC connections. How do I know which models will work with my B&W G3? Forgot to mention that I have upgraded the processor with a Sonnet G4 500Mhz. Thanks.

    Hi,
    your B&W (like mine) should be equipped with a standard VGA output on your video card, which should accept any monitor with a VGA connection.
    I tried a couple of LCD (a Samsung and a Hewlett Packard) which worked flawlessly and did not give me any problems.
    I am not sure whether you can connect any of the current generation Apple flat screens due to the different interface, but you surely can take advantage of any VGA equipped LCD.
    cheers

  • Sharing a DVI LCD monitor between a MDD & AGP Macs, recommendations?

    Hi all,
    In the not so near future, I'm looking to share a large(42) LCD monitor with DVI ports between my MDD and AGP Macs. My AGP Mac has the Geforce nividia 4600,64MB video card and the MDD has the ATI 9000PRO, 64mb video card via a dvi switch box.
    Any recommendations on a LCD monitor that will give excellent quality? Also, will I see a big difference if I were to upgrade my video cards to 128MB or higher?
    thanks, web dude

    I have the slightly larger VX2235wm which is 22 inches, and the same video card as you on my MDD. I am satisfied with its performance.
    The monitor has separate VGA and DVI input ports. The max widescreen res on my MDD is 1680x1050. I usually run at 1440x900 because my eyes aren't what they once were.
    I've gotten higher resolution on the same monitor by connecting it to my MacBook Pro via DVI. Can't remember what the numbers are exactly but I know it's larger than the 1680x1050 on my MDD. The notebook has a newer graphics chipset and 128MB VRAM, so that's not a surprise.
    As an aside, I played with both the VGA and the DVI sides of the monitor. I found I have more options for smaller resolutions if I use the DVI-to-VGA adaptor that came with the MDD and connect to the VGA side of the Viewsonic.. I keep the DVI cable attached but tangling over the back of the desk so I don't have to rummage so much when I need to connect the MacBook Pro. It works fine on the DVI cable. As long as I turn off the MDD before connecting the cable, leaving both lines running to the monitor has caused no problems.

  • Dell LCD monitors?

    Has anyone had any luck with the Dell line of LCD monitors. I need to purchase two for a professional graphic design setup.

    The new Dell 2408wfp is a beautiful monitor with the exception of an over saturation of the red colors. I calibrated it today with a eye-one display2 and it is much better but the reds are still a little more neon bright then I would like. I hope Dell does a firmware revision that will correct it.
    "On sale" as to less than $699.
    Firmware upgrade is not user installable. You'll need to get a new monitor.

  • LCD monitors

    Ok given the choice of the upgrade to FCP Studio 2 and a new CRT HD monitor I have decided to buy the software, but can anyone reccomend a good HD LCD monitor ( good enough for colour grading) and one that will connect to my little Sony HDV deck which has an HDMI output.

    walking around nab, i have yet to see an lcd worth a grain of salt, however the viewing experience was akin to walking through costco. i would have liked to have seen the newest eCinema offereings but the folks there were way too busy talking among themselves to talk to me.
    sony was demo-ing it's new luma monitors and quite honestly, they do look better than their last horrendous offering. they also had a black tent set up with three monitors set up in row, apparently two were lumas and one was a crt. they all looked a bit different and i didn't feel it was a realistic viewing experience as who watches tv in total darkness?
    another thing about sony which i found a bit hypocritical, lcd technology is touted to be so great and it was advertised in full force but for each camera set up around the colorful demo scene, the monitoring was done on a hanging bvm crt.
    however, the way of the world is moving to lcd so before you buy anything, get a proper demo that includes viewing analog video as well. recently i supervised an analog video color session on an avid symphony and the viewing/grading monitor was a new panasonic 24 inch lcd. i'm not exaggerating when i say the analog scaling quality was absolutely abyssmal.

  • My office just bought me an iMac and I absolutely need to hook up a second monitor but there is no DVI connection on it, just a Thunderbolt. What do I do? Please help ASAP!!!

    My office just bought me an iMac and I absolutely need to hook up a second monitor but there is no DVI connection on it, just a Thunderbolt. What do I do? Please help ASAP!!! The imac is a 21.5" and they also already bought an HD 21.5 ASUS LCD monitor to attach to it. I'm really trying to make this setup work but this is becoming a nightmare. Any suggestions? I looked up  different VGA adapters but the only options for this would be a usb-vga connection which doesn't work on macs. Can anyone tell me if this new Thunderbolt connection will work in some way? Thanks

    Using the Thunderbolt port attach a Mini-display to DVI so long as the Asus display is equipped and capable, otherwise Mini-display to VGA will also work. The Thunderbolt port is ahead devices  which are not yet available to take advantage of the increased capacity in speed. Until the devices and connection cables are available, just use the port as a Mini-display port.

  • I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lighroom 5 if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?

    I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lightroom 5 okay if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?  What will happen to the applications that aren't 64-bit compatible?  Also the Eye-one Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate the monitor will not run on Lion, so that will be an expensive upgrade to an i1DisplayPro. Is the upgrade important enough to offset the expense?  I have an Epson R2000 printer.  Will there be problems with the drivers if I upgrade to Lion?  It would be great to hear from other mac users who are also photographers and who print their own photos.

  • 32" LCD Monitor - Best Resolution???

    Hello all -
    I just bought an Olevia LT32HVE LCD monitor to use with my G5. I'm wanting to find the best resolution setting so that it won't be horizontally whacky, yet still a good amount of real estate on the screen. At the recommendation of a friend who has a 42" monitor, I downloaded Display ConfigX so that I could change the default settings. After registering and installing, I changed the resolution from 1280x1024 to 1280x720 as my friend suggested. The resolution now LOOKs OK, but it's a bit large for my taste. I'd like to get a bit more real estate on the screen by making the overall image more condensed. The LCD manual says that it's highest resolution is 1366x768, but when I tried that, the monitor blanks out (to blue) and says the rate is not supported. Probably has something to do with the refresh rate as well? I then have to hook up a second monitor just to get the large one to come back (viewing-wise).
    Any suggestions on some resolutions that this LCD monitor will be able to use? Or am I missing a key factor?
    Thanks -
    G5 Dual 2.0Gig   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I was able to get the monitor to work at 1360x768 @ 60hz, but it looked a little rough around edges. Looks better at 1280x720 in terms of clarity and sharpness. But it's still the exact same size (at least, viewing-wise) as 1280x720.
    Is there any way to get more real estate happening? Even though it's not horizontally crazy now, it's overall still very large.
    Thanks -

  • External LCD Monitor not detected

    I've recently just bought a LED monitor and I've tried using the mini-display port to DVI cable and a DVI to VGA cable to connect to my macbook pro to my external LED monitor but it wasn't detected.
    Anyone happen to know what the possible issue is? Is it the mini-display port or the DVI to VGA cable?

     
    Hi texas-rangy, 
    If you're planning to format the laptop, the Operating System will simply roll back and it will reinstall the original Operating System which is Windows 8. Yes, you can still roll back to Windows 8 as long as the recovery partition is still accessible. This is also the last troubleshooting steps that we do to isolate if the issue if hardware or software. You may check the steps here: How to perform a System Recovery from outside of Windows. We suggest to backup all your important files within Windows and disregard the option Rescue Data on this process. 
    Once done formatting the unit, test your external monitor. If the monitor works then it is software issue. Proceed with the upgrade process. It is advisable to follow the steps of Upgrading the Operating System from Windows 8 to 8.1. Just follow the link. How do I upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1? 
    I know this is a long process but we need to consider every step and make sure that we did follow the correct procedures. 
    Hope these help. 
    Best regard,

  • External LCD Monitor Connection - Unacceptable Quality

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased a Mac, hoping that I would be able to connect to my external LCD monitor (19" Samsung SyncMaster 920NW - only VGA connection).
    I have easily hooked up my monitor to my Mac. However, what I see is of unacceptable quality. When compared to Macbook display, the display on the external monitor is darker and the text looks horrible. I have played with few settings but nothing good.
    I have read other threads where people complain about similar things. But, I thought Samsung's monitors would be of higher quality. Mine is a relatively cheap LCD but not this cheap
    I am just willing to confirm that I am not missing anything. I simply can't believe that the display quality could be this bad. In the worst case, I will have to buy a new LCD.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello stedman1,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    Unfortunately, it is not running in the Mirror mode. The display with the mirror mode was even worse! But after reading the posts in the forum, I have learned how to change it to the extended display. It is better than the mirror mode, but still not good enough.
    Maybe I am making a mistake comparing the external monitor with the MacBook's monitor?? There is a huge gap between the two. It is a lot darker, and the text quality is way worse.
    Someone with a similar monitor having solved this issues?
    Thanks,
    Guven.
