• Tecra A2: Question about DVI and external monitor

  Hello
  I am trying to get a DVI Signal of the Tecra A2 using the Advanced Port Replicator III but without success. The A2 does support DVI anyway?
  Another question: is it possible to set up the main display to the external monitor using "extended Desktop"?

  Thank you
  Ralph Menon

  Hello Ralph

  Your unit doesn t support DVI port and you can't use it. As far as I know just the ports that you can find on the device, you can use in Port Replicator because the signal is just loop through.

  The problem with the screen is that mobile has the main value and it cannot be changed (on my Tecra M1 nor). The windows will be implemented on an external but password box will always be displayed on the screen of the laptop.

  Good bye

• DVI/VGA

  I just bought a HP Pavilion p7-1154 desktop PC. After getting it home, I discovered that I could not connect my vga monitors. What type of card should I get?

  Rob,

  Look at theDVIport on your video card or the video port of the motherboard of the e/s of the back if you use integrated video.  DVI DVI - D ports that are?  If Yes, then what are digital-only ports and VGA is analog.

  If have no your monitors DVI or HDMI, so you have a few options:

  1. Buy a DVI to VGA Converter - not recommended
  2. Buy a discrete video card that takes care of two VGA connections - hard to find
  3. Buy two digital monitors - recommended
  4. Buy a graphics card with a display port (DP) and a VGA adapter and also use a display to the VGA dongle port.  I have never tried this configuration.

• Vs ATI HD 4650 DVI VGA - monitor attached to VGA not clear - what to do

  Well, I had this problem for awhile now. Seems that it is quite common. Have a desktop HP elite with the ATI HD 4650 Vid. Two better monitors from Dell. The monitor plugged into the side VGA is less strong. I confirm this by changing their and the problem follows the VGA connection (tried both cables also). Yes, is there any use by running the DVI cable down to the video card on LCD with an adapter on the VGA port? I think not because I'd just be using the DVI cable to trasmit a VGA signal. My only solution is to replace the video card by one who has two DVI connectors?

  The series of programs is 10.9 but driver 8.771 depending on the operating system and video card.  Go to the ATI web site for the latest video card driver.  HP is originally on the update of the video card driver.

• DVI/VGA adapter.

  I have a HP110-122el PC and I just bought what I thought, it was a VGA DVI adapter. The DVI adapter part again has 24 pins and a connector spade and 4 extra pins, 2 above and 2 below the pod. The socket on my tour takes the casings for these 4 additional points. Therefore, the adapter doesn't fit. Are there different types of DVI adapters or is my weird PC?

  HI Hookey,

  Image (blur) below shows the types of DVI connectors.

  

  Your description of your adapter indicates that your have a DVI - I dual-link adapter.  The socket on the PC's DVI - D (digital only). If your monitor is analog, then use a straight VGA cable without adapter. Your PC is not strange that most, if not all new HP PC are DVI - D (digital only).  You can see the specifications for the HP 110-122el here.

  By your other post, your monitor specifications are here.

• Vs vs DVI VGA HDMI

  I have a new computer and monitor and eventually hopes to use the monitor for television, but not now.

  Currently, the computer is used for editing photography mainly.  Is it better Setup for the vs of monitor VGA vs DVI HDMI for image quality?

  Thank you very much, Paul Herd

  Hi paulherd,

  The answer is simple: it depends

  DVI and HDMI are similar image wise, but HDMI carries audio also with her and DVI is not working. VGA is generally lower image quality than DVI and HDMI, but it can still be pretty good according to the graphics card to your PC. If your graphics card is capable of serving high-definition resolution, then VGA is superb. All really, it depends on what you want to do with it and what your PC can do.

  Here is an interesting article that talk about some of the differences that can be useful too, I found:

  I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

• Precision M4600 suite screen problem when it is attached to external DVI & VGA monitors via docking station

  I had a strange problem with my M4600 (Windows 7 x 64, Nvidia Quadro 1000 M GPU). Here's how to reproduce:

  1. Dock work station
  2. Connect at least 2 external monitors to the wharf, at least 1 connected via DVI and at least 1 monitor connected in VGA
  3. Select power management performance under Windows 7
  4. Change the power plan settings to set the screen turns off after 15 minutes (or any time)
  5. PC slowed down to allow the screen turns off
  6. Try to wake up the screen by moving the mouse or using PC

  You will notice that the external monitors wake, but the laptop screen is not. So far, the only way I was able to wake up the screen of the laptop is in closing, forcing so the lock PC screen appears on external displays. Unlocking the computer and then reopening of the screen wakes up at the laptop screen, but also causes a crash of the GPU from Intel, which is used to retrieve the OS on the fly.

  I had this problem with all the GPU drivers for my machine, than to Dell support for the own site WHQL drivers Nvidia. Anyone having this problem or know of a fix?

  Note that this bug does not occur when the laptop is connected to the monitor (s) DVI only.

  
  

• Questions T400 and VGA

  I'm fairly certain that my VGA output was working fine until today.  I do not use the external display which is often so it is hard to say exactly when the issue began.

  The external display fine during start-up and the animated Windows logo (it's on Windows 7, btw).  But when the login screen appears, the screen looks washed out as a photo overexposed with very low color.

  The only thing I installed recently is TurboTax 2009.  Could software as it will interrupt the VGA?

  An interesting I noticed also was right when Windows is going down (the "shutting down" message), the VGA display looks normal without any problems.

  Does anyone have ideas, what could be the problem?

  Moderator Note: images > 50 k converted into programming.

  I had this problem as well on driver 8.15. ???.

  Solved by clicking on the icon for the Intel GMA system tray and open the properties of the chart, choose Color Enhancement and choose the monitor falling down. Click on default settings and you should be fine.

  How first of all ask the question? Gamma has been wayyyyyyy too high without apparent reason. I certainly didn't change the gamma of the external screen when it happened to me, and I doubt that the original poster did this either.

• Question about DVI on the Qosmio

  Is it possible to get a dvi to my Qosmio? I know the possibility with a dvi-pc-card, but a station host, port replicator, or something like that with dvi would be much better.

  Is not very importend, but it would be good to know if it is possible or not.

  Hello

  For Qosmio laptops there is no any kind of docking station or something similar. All you can do is to use external devices like dvi-pc-card as described in your ad.

• Satellite A100 PSAARA - Questions about RAM, VGA and BIOS

  I used Toshiba Satellite A100 PSAARA, now I have a few questions:

  1. I have updated the BIOS for my laptop (new version 6.0 to version 5.10): everything seems to work ok, but after I rebooted the laptop, it automatically connect a black screen with these warning "checksum bad sectors, F1: default settings, F2:..." (remember exactly).
  I pressed F1, my Toshiba reboot works ok after that, so there's something wrong with this warning?

  2. I upgraded RAM to 2 GB (1 GB + 1 GB) with the KingMax brand, if the RAM expandable max I can do on my laptop?

  3. This Toshiba laptop use to edge or video card, I check my Nvidia geforce card real estate (laptop) and I saw this: memory: 256 MB + RAM shared memory: 256 MB = 512 MB of total memory?
  So: can I upgrade my card graph and maximum card that I can use?

  4. I cannot set 75 Hz for refresh monitor, can see 65 Hz

  Thanks for your help!

  1. try to load the default settings in the BIOS. Then it should work.

  2. the Satellite A100 supports 4 GB max.

  3. No, the graphics card can not be changed. It s soldered on the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

  4. what internal or external monitor? Monitor internal and other s LCD works best with 60 Hz.

• Mini DVi VGA issues.

  So I tried to find an adapter that transforms the VGA to Mini display because I have 2 monitors VGA and my video card has 2 mini display connectors, without vga connectors.
  I pulled the top of many of them, but all of them (less than $ 20) say that its for the iMac and Macbook pro, etc.
  If I buy one of these it still works on my windows machine?

  I don't see why not, it's a hardware thing, not a problem of operating system.  The item you are looking at is basically the same as this one on their site that clearly states that it is compatible with PC, for peace of mind and the concern for an extra $ 2, you might want to get this one instead:

• Using DVI instead of VGA on the Port Replicator - Tecra A9

  I have a port replicator toshiba that I use with my laptop Tecra A9, currently I have a vga cable to run the external monitor, but I prefer to use DVI instead, but I can't make it work.

  Is there a setting somewhere that I have to activate? or should it work?

  See you soon

  Ash.

  Hello

  As much as I know there nothing that you must set for the use of the DVI port. The question is how you use it. Using a DVI - VGA adapter?

• Pavilion h8-1128 w/Radion HD 6750: disables the VGA DVI!

  I run 2 monitors SAMSUNG my h8-1128, which came with a HD6570 of Radion Eyefinity.

  Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  Both monitors are supported by the DVI and VGA inputs. The HD6570 has a DVI - VGA dongle, DVI - I, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

  After watching a bit in the cables, I find this cable:

  StarTech.com DVIVGAYMM6 6-foot DVI - I male to male DVI - D and HD15 VGA Male Video Splitter cable

  by StarTech

  Characteristics of the product

  Use the DVI-> VGA dongle on the connector 6570's DVI with a VGA cable to the monitor that is shared with the CATV box, and then either an HDMI cable to DVI or DisplayPort / DVI cable.

  You have reason... that would be the way to do it.

• Satellite Pro M30: Question Abu support DVI port

  Hello world
  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 with a nVidia go5200 graphics card. The nvidia Web page asserts that this graphics card has DVI support (http://www.nvidia.co.uk/page/fx_mobile_fb_5200.html) but I could not connect my apple cinema display to the computer.
  The screen is connected through a DVI vga, but I don't have a 'real' addaptor.

  Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

  Thank you
  Magnus

  Hello

  According to the specification this device doesn't have a DVI - D port and there is no possibility to connect it directly to the unit. This unit video a VGA 15 pins port only. Google all over the place. Maybe you'll find a real adapter.

  If you find something interesting, please let us know. It may be useful for other members of the forum.

• Dual VGA-out on Dynadock DVI?

  Hello

  We recently got the DVI-VGA Dynadocks U10 and got all installed software
  In the box has a note saying that with windows XP, it is not possible to define an external monitor to the main screen and then the laptop follow high school

  That's fine, but I got a VGA and DVI monitor connected to the dynadock

  Is it possible to have the screen of the laptop off and have as primary monitor VGA and DVI as the secondary?
  Everything I've tried so far has failed

  Have you tried setting to the top of the poster in the Advanced display settings?

  I do not know what PC you have, but go to the nVidia/ATI/Intel Graphics Control Panel. You should be able to change the output screen here.
