Hi peeps
I've got a brand new Samsung TFT monitor and I'm pulling my hair to understand what's wrong with it.
- Connected it to my PC using the VGA port.
- Booted the PC (screen stays blank)
- In the right-hand corner of the screen, a blue box appears and it shows that the monitor is checking the analog/digital connection.
- monitor goes back to blank and finally switches off.
I decide to connect my older monitor. Changed the resolution to 800x600 and rebooted the PC (with the new 19" TFT connected).
- the monitor stays blank.
- the monitor goes into it's probing process
- the monitor shows a message "Not an optimised resolution. 1280x1024x60Hz recommended"
- the monitor goes blank
Tried the digital connection as well. No go as well
At a moment, I thought that the windows resolution should be set to 1280x1024x60 before booting the PC. That's what I also tried to find out the same problem as described above.
It's the first time that I spend so much time dealing with a monitor :/ Now, I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or not?! I guess not, since a monitor should work straight out of the box
Any help appreciated
