Plasma DVI Argh
I'm currently trying to set up a PC with my Plasma Screen (Samsung
42inch).via DVI but not having much luck. Video Cards tried a Geforce 4 Ti4200 and GeForce FX 5900XT I have a regular monitor connected to the VGA slot (which works fine) and and trying to Clone the display on my Plasma via a DVI connection. I've purchased 3 different types of DVI wire (all of which fit snugly into the nVidia Cards at one end and the Plasma at the other) but I just get a blank screen. I can get a picture on the Plasma via Svideo but it's soo blurry it's untrue. Any suggestions for DVI welcome!! PC Stats (if useful): ASUS V7880 AMD Sempron 2600+ 1GB Ram Nvidia Cards (as above) Win XP Home Thanks RJ |

First, get it working as you only monitor. Then worry about clone. What had happened was that I chose 60hz, but when I went into the detailed information, the driver was actually using 59.94. Just enough to be a problem. Change it there to 60 and all was well. Tom |

Ok, will have a go. I figured it'd be easier to set up a clone so I could a least see an image on the other screen when trying to change settings though! RJ |

Much better visual quality. ~$100 or less for the card. Small peanuts compared to the cost of your plasma display and much better graphics performance than your 2 ancient video cards. Fully compatible with DX9.0c and SM3.0 too. BTW, your problem may be as simple as setting your plasma display to analog-input mode on the DVI connector, if it has such a setting. Not at all familiar with the Samsung --- the plasma-display DVI input might be digital-only (and missing the analog pins) ??? John Lewis |
