Hi,

I've just got my first tft which is the EIZO Flexscan L685 its 18.1 inch...

I try and set it to 1280 x 1024 which is the recommend resoultion and keep getting a signal error....

Does anyone know why?

Sys specs: AMD 64 3500 NewCastle. 1gig Ram, Nvidia Geforce 4 4600ti, 2x 200g hdd

At the moment I am using 1152 x 864 as any bigger than this I keep getting signal error msg on scree...

When I receive signal error the screen becomes narrower and the monitor will not let me confirm the recommend settings.

Please help.....

Thanks in advance...

you might well be tryin g to run it at too high a refresh rate. Make sure you're at 60Hz and then try 1280 x 1024. should be ok then hopefully

prob was I didnt set the res to 1280 x 1024 on the graphics card settings.....

I've sorted it now works a treat....

Its like having a new monitor looks brill :-)

getting the benefits from it now as opposed to before....

thanks for your advice

There are other settings, things I dont even understand in nvidia desktop manager which may improve the quality further but I don't have a clue what to do.......Any suggestions???

I have noticed my mouse scrolls slightly less slower than previous since I have set my screen res to 1280 x 1024....is this common?

Pc seems to need to think that extra second which I can almost feel....Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Please help

Thanks

Hmm, well according to this , the quoted response time is 40ms! :eek:

Maybe that has something to do with your mouse lag.

I'm pretty sure this monitor was discontinued a while back. Did you buy it new or 2nd hand?

2nd hand .......

like i said now I have it at 1280 x 1024 it looks fab its just that the mouse is lagging.....can i overcome this?

I don't think so. This monitor would have used a much earlier generation of panel (it's an IPS btw), although I can't find out exactly who made it.

whats IPBS???

Im thinking of upgrading and getting a better graphics card will this cure the prob?

IPS is a panel technology, standing for In Plane Switching. Check here for more info

It's the actual panel on the Eizo causing the problem unfortunately, not your graphics card.

thanks guys....

Bubbysoup so I guess sometime soon I need a better tft

Thanks for that link badass very informative indeed I never knew any of those things I will look at monitors in a diff light from now.....

I am suprised to learn that manufacturers response times can be inaccurate due to several diff reasons...

Thanks really appreciate it guys

Cheers!
