Problems When Using D-sub(VGA) Only LCD Monitors
A lot of people are experiencing problems when using LCD monitors connected through D-sub(VGA).
I for example cannot use native resolution 1680x1050 after installing Windows 7 on computer with ATI X700. (It worked just fine on Windows 7 on old Intel 945 chipset motherboard with integrated video)
When I bring my kid's monitor which is basically the same model but with DVI input Windows 7 automatically(!) sets resolution to 1680x1050. After I switch back to my monitor with D-sub only input 1680x1050 isn't even listed in "list all modes" ("hide modes that this monitor cannot display" unchecked). This is really weird. (DVI-to-D-sub connector doesn't help)
The question is: Could this be solved by editing monitor.inf or something like that?

Refresh Rates On LCD Monitors
I just picked up a new monitor. It's a Samsung 2033 SW. 1600 X 900 with a 5Ms response time. It's only giving me one option. 60 hertz. Is this normal? My other one is very similar Samsung 932 BW+. 1400 X900 at 2Ms response. It's gives me a choice of 60 or 75 hertz. I don't think it has anything to do with the video card or driver. Perhaps the driver for the monitor itself. I have the latest one from MS update for both monitors. Also, how much does this matter. I have been told to go with the higher rate if possible. Do any of you know if this is the norm? Does it have to do with the difference in response time?

Dual Monitors One Touchscreen One LCD Older Video Card
I plan on running multiple monitors with one being a touchscreen. First off, is this even possible? The thought crossed my mind that if there was a visible cursor, the touchscreen might not "grab" it properly. I need to be able to use the touchscreen as a lauch pad of sorts, with my most common files shorcuts on it, touch, open, back to the old school monitor. Or does having a touchscreen require ALL monitors to be touchscreen (it might delete the visible cursor.) Second, can I still use my touchscreen monitor with the cursor (as if it was just a standard monitor?) Lastly, can I run a touchscreen on an old (4-8mb) video card? I can't imagine needing more than 800x600 16 bit. This will be a smaller monitor and really just used for a launch pad. Anyway, thanks for the (future) help and I look forward to stopping by (once ASUS decides its time to mail the box!)

LCD TV Vs. LCD Monitor
As the topic suggests, which one is better? LCD TV or LCD monitor? Also, why in the world do LCD TV's have a lifespan in hours (ex 60,000 hours) associated with them? What would happen after the lifespan expires? Sorry if these are n00by questions but considering I am just now gonna shift to LCD monitor from my 2002 15" CRT, yeah I'm a certified n00b!

Resolution Not Sticking On LCD Monitor
Grandma's computer - trying to troubleshoot from Chicago for a computer located in California. About to kill myself. Please help. Graphics card on computer is an integrated Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family adapter. I purchased a VGA splitter so that she can connect it to her LCD monitor and Plasma TV. The monitor's native resolution is 1680 x 1050. HDTV is 1280 x 768. My grandma complained that the resolution was messed up (I later learned that it was set to 800 x 600). I asked her to set the resolution to 1680 x 1050, but when she does, she gets the message that "the current input timing is not supported by the monitor display." I checked the refresh rate -- it was set to 60hz. None of the other 1.6 ratio resolutions would even show up on the available list of resolutions. I had her plug the LCD monitor directly into the computer (sans splitter). No error message. The resolution stuck right away. So, how do I use this splitter and still get 1680 x 1050 on her LCD? I don't even want to know what will happen to the TV's resolution when we do this, but I can pray.

Viewsonic VX2433Wm LCD Monitor
I came across this Viewsonic LCD Monitor which looks quiet appealing and of course, being manufactured by the leading display technology company of the world Viewsonic! Heres the link to the product: Viewsonic VX2433wm (24inch HD LCD Monitor) http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktop-monitors/lcd/x-series/vx2433wm.htm Now here's what I need to know: My main use of an LCD Monitor will be to: * Â Watch Movies (Which should include a DVD & High Definition (HD) Quality Videos). * Â Play 3D and Normal Games. * Â Movies like Jurassic Park, Speed, Titanic, Action Movies, etc... * Â Web browsing, doing back work on PC, Listening to music. So, this in short will be the purpose of using a new LCD Monitor. So far, I am using CRT Monitor. Once you have gone through the above link, could you kindly let me know how well would this Viewsonic LCD Monitor fair in terms of my above mentioned usage. BUT NOW HERE's A TwIsT >>> While looking forward to buy an LCD Monitor, one question that kills my decision of buying it is that What if a Touch Screen LCD Monitor will be made available once Windows 7 releases to users . Then would all these LCD Monitors sold out today will be consider completely outdated not only in terms of technology but features as well. However, there are few things that comes to my notice for going with an LCD Monitor and not a Touchscreen one... a) Touch Screen LCD Monitor is for sure going to be costly for at least upto a year right from its initial date of release. b) There is simply no assureness whether the first phase of Touch Screen LCD Monitor released for Windows 7 would work well for its users. Now you see, this is the reason why its being said to always wait and watch till the time everbody has tried its hands on the product b'coz that exactly is the place from where the bug will arise therefore in the 2nd and 3rd phase, these bugs will be sorted out and a fresh stocks of the product completely free of factory defects will be released to the market. I believe to always wait for the 3rd phase of the product to be released and then buy it b'coz if will not only completely be free of defects but would also contains tons of additional features at times and considering these, one could understand how terrible impact could be created on the 1st phase that users have already purchased in their over excitement to try them out. c) Also, touch screen as seen in the past have not achieved much success since everybodys fingers are slightly big in size to click on the options which turns out to be smaller most of the times when compared to your fingers.

ATI Cards And Samsung LCD
i just installed the latest build of Windows 7 (build 7100). and there are a few problems with my graphics options. There are 2 systems that i tried this on and both are having the same problem. The first setup has a Ati Radeon X1650 by MSI, and the drivers install, signed by WDDM. Now the monitor/tv that i am using is a 42inch LCD TV, and has the 1920x1080 resolution, that is its native resolution. Windows 7, supports the resolution and has it as the recommended resolution, however, when i select it, my monitor says "mode not supported" this is the same problem i have with the HD2600XT card from ATI. Both of these cards work in Vista Ultimate, Vista Home Premium, Vista Business, and XP Pro SP3 and XP Home SP3, and even tried Server 2008 and server 2003. all of those OS's work with the native resolution on the monitor except the Windows 7 builds. anyone have an idea why this would be?? also, for the HD2600XT i did install the latest ati driver 9-4, and nothing is fixed. right now i am running it at 1280x768, but its skewed. if anyone has any info on this it would be great, as i have tried everything. i have also tried installing the 9-3 drivers on both cards, manually and using the installs. the manual way was to unzip the driver package and in device manager install the drivers myself. The one system i have plugged into it now is a Shuttle Barebone SG31G2B, 4 GB of ddr2/800 ram, quad core q6600 2.4ghz, and the hd 2600xt.

Standard VGA Adapter
I just installed Windows 7 RC1 32-bit OS onto my laptop. Without thinking i needed any drivers, i went to play World of Warcraft. It told me that it could not locate a display device and wouldn't work. I figured i needed to install my grpahics card drivers for my Nvidia 9 series card. When i went to install the drivers, an error message appeared saying that it could not locate drivers compatible with my device. I went to dxdiag and under display it shows that i have a standard vga adapter and won't recognize my actual graphics card. I'm not sure if i'm missing drivers, i haven't installed anything else except for this attempt at installing the nvidia driver.

HP Quickplay And VGA Error
Blu-Ray is always a fun problem in 7 because of what I have determided to be a VGA error, I used to get this when my Nviaida drivers were set to dual screens but when I setup the screen off and screen on profiles in Vista it was fixed. With 7 I now get that error all the time but try as I must I can't get it to go away now, I am even running Quick Play (Latest version) in Vista mode which helped the speed of loading but not the VGA error. I would really like to play one of my movies soon because every time I try to configure the dual screen setup in 7's rez screen it seems to revert to having both avalable to the Quick Play program so it doesn't let me watch the movie; It thinks I am going to doop the movie to another source. So I am really a victom of anti-piracy.

LCD Monitor Loses Contact With Computer
1. Computer, at start up, sometimes can't find my monitor. Only way is to start the computer with the monitor switched off; then turn the monitor on at a certain time during the booting process (when I here a motherboard-beep). Occasionally the connection will be broken anyway (and I'll have to mess with the 'reset/-start button). I generally get to the motherboard page and BIOS settings. But sometimes not even that and then the only solution is to leave everything off for a while (minimum a couple of minuts – but not exactly sure). 2. Computer lose monitor when it to goes into sleep mode. This only happens if I leave it inactive for a long enough time. I can usually retrieve it if the display's gone out only for a short while, as usual - by pressing keyboard or moving mouse. My hope is to find a solution that doesn't involve buying a new monitor.

Dell D830 LCD With NVidia NVS140
When using the built in display on my Dell D830 (1920x1200), The only color depth available is 16 bit. I have tried dropping the resolution, but the highest it will go is 16 bit. If I plug in an external monitor, I can change to 32 bit, using the same resolution, so it appears that the video driver is working fine. I have tried changing the monitor, but have not had any luck. 32 bit works fine on all other OSes. Video Card: Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M Display: Dell 15.4 Widescreen Windows 7 x64

Saturation Adjustment For Laptop LCD Panel
I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad T400 with ATI Mobility Raedon 3470 graphics card. In vista, I installed ATI Graphics driver, I had absolutely no problem tuning overall saturation for the display and saturation for video display separately using ATI Console. But in windows 7, the video driver is replaced by WDDM 1.1 prerelease, which does not have tuning console as I had one in Vista. The color calibration tool in it, allows me to change the gamma of the display, but I am not able to change contrast, hue or saturation for the display, save specifically for videos.  Pls, suggest if there is a work around or if I am missing anything.

Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
I put Windows 7 on my friends computer since he wanted me to, so I installed it. But there was one problem. His resolution is stuck at 640x480. It said he is running from a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. His computer is fairly old, but all of the hardware is pretty good except for the video card. I brought him my old 7700 GTS for him to use for the time being, but I cannot install the drivers for it, and the computer still says he is running Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.

NOT Compatible With XEROX XA7-192i LCD Monitor
So i have a XEROX XA7-192i LCD Display (19'') on a ASUS Ati Radeon EAH 4850 graphics card (with DVI connection only), and a ASUS M3N HD HDMI motherboard (AM2 socket, AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ processor). The problem was that in some points while playing games in XP, the monitor just stopped, displaying "NO SIGNAL". At first i tought that it's my gfx card overheating or something like that. Then i wanted to install Windows 7 RC1. Surprisingly, after the boot logo, my monitor went dead again (displaying NO SIGNAL and entering in stand-by). So i've tried with the on-board graphics adapter (nVIDIA GeForce 9200 i think) but same result. I really couldn't think of anything, i couldn't enter in safe mode because it said that at first boot-up i need to start it normally... but i couldn't see anything. So... i came back to good old XP. Well, after reinstalling i had the same problems as before in some games... just at some point the monitor went in stand-by with NO SIGNAL message. After a few days i decided to install my LCD drivers (i know i was dumb, the first time i had XP they were installed but i guess not so corectly but after reinstalling XP i just forgot about monitor drivers), and.. surprise... after installing the LCD drivers there were no more problems. Now, i've read on forums that pleople had the same problems with Vista and 7 (beta and RC) - so i guess Microsoft didn't do anything to correct this in Vista or 7 RC either (i didn't use Vista so i don't know if it would have worked for me). I would aprectiate if someone could confort me that in the final version, this problems will be obsolete... - i think including the LCD drivers for all LCD's would be a solution... - because i would really like to use this release of Windows... I would have reported this from Windows 7 but... i couldn't install it and i didn't know where elsewhere to write.
