hey guys,
I'm using a 22" ASUS VK222H LCD monitor. which is a pretty good deal if you ask me, for RM1k, you get... » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Got some issues I wanna ask... When watching DVDs or AVI movies/tv series, there's some 'colorful noise' on screen. When playing some games at 1680x1050 resolution, I get some abnormalities. Is this due to the graphic card? Currently using an old AGP 6800GT on my old AMD Athlon XP machine... |

QUOTE(lex @ Jul 4 2008, 12:31 PM) Hmmm.. is it pixellation, square blocks and/or artifacts? artifacts I believe... Define abnormalities....   its like scratches on film like that... erm.. abnormalities like... long horizontal lines on some objects and characters (in neverwinter nights2) |

QUOTE(lex @ Jul 4 2008, 01:51 PM) Possible source of the problems (from most likely to least likely)... wah... - overheating GPU - power supply not enough.. - failing (or about to fail) GPU - bad caps on mobo (especially near the AGP slot) - driver issues  lemme go back and check power supply and see later.what's "bad caps" on mobo? I downloaded the latest driver some few months back from nVidia so doubt that's the issue. Thanks man. QUOTE(Skylinestar @ Jul 4 2008, 02:37 PM) saw RM999 on czone pricelist. is the picture quality better than HP w2207h? these 2 are the only 22 incher with HDMI at about RM1k price range. I've not seen or tested the HP ww2207h. Cant say for sure... playing PS3 games, it looks fantastic why don't you try to hook it up on another pc?  No other PCs for me to hook it to  This post has been edited by azxel: Jul 4 2008, 02:58 PM |

QUOTE(maxburnz @ Jul 5 2008, 03:56 AM) why retailers always say dvi on 19inch does giv any big affect.really ke? not sure about 19" but using VGA on a 22", the resolution is lower by default compared to DVI it can go up to 1680x1050. they say 22inch higher can spot the diff between dvi and rgb. QUOTE(yumyum77 @ Jul 5 2008, 09:04 AM) I had a nvidia driver about 4/5 months old... my new lcd monitor didn't work until I downloaded the recent driver. Can try that. yup, I did that... it seems nVidia now has some tweaking tools too.. dunno what I did that day... after shutting down and turning it back on a few hours later, this is what I got...windows boots up windows desktop appears screen goes blank with message "no DVI link" or "DVI not found" or something like that. had to force reset a few times then got in to safe mode, roll back the drivers and things went back ok.  re-installed the new drivers and this time, I'm not touching any of the tweak settings. one question guys... would your refresh rate at 60hz cause any issues? it shouldn't, right? even when I pause the AVI file (tv series or anime), the artifact is still moving.. downwards. It's mainly 'magenta' in color. edit: added: could it be due to poor or bad video encoding? This post has been edited by azxel: Jul 7 2008, 10:01 AM |

QUOTE(lex @ Jul 7 2008, 01:58 PM) The problem with judging the display like that is not very accurate, that is until you bring the unit home and test it yourself. Even mine looks so-so on the shop's display shelf, but after some adjustment back home looks way much better... Also many shops use VGA connection (often going thru VGA splitter) instead of DVI. oh? meaning its the video encoding that's bad? or 'no'? Could be mobo issue... Quote from Pinned: Bad Capacitors: Information and symptoms Besides onboard video, I found it also happens to graphics cards as well, especially when the filter capacitor on the power rail to the graphics card is failing.  Nope... it ain't 60Hz issue.  Nopes.. when you pause, it should not be moving... If you are having that on almost every video file from different source, the it is definitely no poor video encoding issue.  means when I pause and its still moving = bad caps ? sigh.. if its badcaps means, it's affecting my GFX card a bit only... time to save up for a small upgrade i guess.. sigh... |

QUOTE(danieljoey @ Jul 24 2008, 12:22 AM) PS3 can use DVI-D also.. hehe but with HDMI, you need not unplug and plug between your PC and PS3  All you need to do is press one button and your screen switches between DVI and HDMI (even VGA for my monitor) |

i still think that for a 24", having a better GFX card helps... especially when you're gonna need to be pumping out 1920 x 1600 res

not all games support 1680x1050 res... so live with it. Be glad that the 22" scales down res very very well.
