New Monitor Advice

[cobhc]

Bah, already gone. Looks like I'll be pulling the trigger on a brand new one soon though

unlucky, now that would have been amazingly cheap!

and the saga continues

my replacement one is playing up now , the output just dissapears and the monitor just seems to crash.... none of the buttons work when it happens..... i've video'd it for evidence as well....

it has been doing it since i got it...

i.e. i turn it on, it hangs after 5 mins so i pull the power cord. plug it back in and everything is fine...

but it's just done it about 6 times in a row

looks like i'm going to have to RMA again

cos thats not going to be fun in the middle of a game!!!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me if the HDMI end of the HDMI-DVI cable has the HDMI writing on it or is it just blank?

I'm asking because i ve mixed it up with someone elses lead and i want to return the right 1

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

SOrry to hear about your monitor, mines fine so far, fingers crossed! Have you returned it yet?

Regards

If anyone could just take 5 mins to look I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks

i'm not quite sure what you mean...

the cable that came with mine has 1 dvi and 1 HDMI, the HDMI end has HDMI written on one side
the DVI side has a wierd arrow inside a curved edge square (symbolising a digital signal)...

it looks like this: where the HDMI is on the left, and DVI is on the right
(i included the picture because the DVI pinout is exactly the same)


and as for returning my monitor... i just CBA i really don't want to end up without a monitor for a month again.. so i'll just claim on the warranty in a year or so...

[ollyaaa]

Yea it must be becoming a bit of a headache.... I think your just unlucky because mine seems 100%.


Thanks a lot for the reply, I needed to know if the hdmi end has the letters HDMI on it (one of the two leads has just a blank hdmi end)


Sorted, thanks a LOT

Get a Yuraku 24" monitor. I got mine from misco and its great no daed pixels and IS an A-MVA panel. Is says v3 on the screen menu but v2 on the sticker on the back of the Panel. Great screen, no back light bleed to speak of. and the contrast is great. Just the usual washed out blacks which is compensated with the great contrast of whites.
