My LCD with 3D Prophet II GTS ..can't get 1280x1024!
I bought a new Sony 17" LCD Monitor(SDM-X73) and hooked it up via the DVI
output on my 3D Prophet II 64 video card. My problem is that I can't get the monitor to go up to the recomended 1280x1024 resolution. The highest it will go is 1024x768. When I try to do this, my monitor goes black and gives me the 'no input signal', then I have to reboot in safemode to lower the resolution. I know the monitor supports it, they actually recommend this resolution for best picture and I know my video card supports even higher resolutions. I've downloaded all the latest drivers for everything on my pc(video(45.23), sound, motherboard, directx) What's wrong? I've called sony and they told me it was a video card/driver issue and couldn't really help me. I ran out of stuff to do, so I hope someone can help me, thank you. Henri

I have to agree with HamMan. It still sounds like a problem with the
monitor drivers for your LCD. My guess is the refresh rate is set to higher than the LCD can handle at the 1280x1024 res you are trying to get it to display. Try to manually set the refresh rate to the rate the LCD is looking for, THEN change to 1280x1024, should work fine that way. "Psycho" wrote in message ...

Thanks for helping me out guys, I tried that..still nothing. I switched to
analog mode with the 15pin connector and it works fine..just the dvi mode is being an ass. Sony tells me it's my video card..I've got a Hercules 3D Prophet II 64 gts(geforce 2). Can it be that this card does not support dvi resolutions higher than 1024x768? Thanks for any input. Henri "Biz" wrote in message ... I have to agree with HamMan.
