hey guys i got a 19inch tft montior n it keeps going black but power light stays on ?? all cables are in fine but keeps doing it any one know of anything i can try coz i cant send it back coz i got it from my mate worked fine for like 4 days n now this :( plz help
 
try the screen on another PC? Make sure the resolution is set at 1280 x 1024? Make sure the refresh rate is set at 60Hz? If possible, try a different VGA cable? Maybe try it on DVI as well if it has it?
 
refresh is at 120htz seems to work good on tht but i think its the monitor but its not got a dvi cable with it so cant try it will have to get one to rule out the card completly hope fully will be my card coz i need a new one i dont rly wonna have to spend more money on buying a new tft
but thanks for the advice will let u know how it goes
 
Refresh is on 120Hz?!?! :eek: you definitely want that down at 60Hz mate, thats the reommended and optimum refresh rate for a TFT, they dont work the same way as a CRT

Woah boy! Listen to the BADDASS, 120 is way to fast, like double what it's supposed to be???? :eek:
 
lol, tft noob :)

mate turn that refresh rate down and pray that there is no permanent damage!

:eek: :eek:
 
i think thats whats happend at my m8s coz this just aint working at all its just turning the screen black all the time :( i need a monitor
 
ok its got to the point where i cant be arsed to turn tft on and off to make it work for 5 mins its just making me :mad: so nicked my sisters crt its huge ugly n is taking up all of my desk does anyone have a 17 or 19 inch tft for sale?
 
ok thats not worked either am starting to get a bit mad now :( would a dvi cable work do u think or would it just be a wastes of money buying one
 
it might, but then you coudl well have damaged the monitor by running it at 120Hz. That's well outside the maximum supported refres rate. Maybe try a DVI cable, but at 60Hz! :)
