Monitor DVI Port not Working for Computer | ||

| The DVI port on my Hanns-g LCD stopped working? The standard VGA port will work,but the DVI port will not produce an image. I tried 2 different DVI-to-DVI cables and an HDMI - to DVI cable but no image on screen. I then hooked up standalone DVD player using the HDMI - to- DVI cable and got a normal image thru the monitors DVI port. It was Phillps 5990 upconverting to 1080P.
How can the DVI port on the monitor work for the DVD player but not with a conputer hooked to it. FYI - the monitor went bad while I was loading Windows 7 on a backup computer. The install seemed to go well,but soon after finishing the install it stopped displaying 1440 x 900 and started reverting to base VGA resolution,then stopped working thru the DVI port. | ||

| How have you set the port in your computer display settings? Monitors are limited to the resolutions listed in the manual.
I doubt this is a hardware issue. It is most likeley a computer settings issue. | ||

| I can set it to the default 1440 x 900 thru the standard VGA port but when I hook it up via DVI I get no image at all so setting to default on the DVI port won't work. | ||

First, is 1440x900 a supported monitor resolution over DVI-D? What is the monitor model number? Can your dispaly card output 1920x1080p? You know that should work. It worked with the DVD player. Try connecting the computer to a different monitor with DVI-D. The problem is either the computer display card or the DVI-D to DVI-D cable you are using. | ||

| The monitor is a Hanns-g HW191D,native resolution 1440 x 900. I setup W7 using an Nvidia 6200 which is when the problem developed. I switched to an ATI X300 card,problem persisted. Tred 3 different DVI cables. I then hooked up a diffent monitor and it worked normally. The new monitor was an Asus 1680 x 1050 unit,it booted up in 1440 x 900 but I simply reset it to 1680 x 1050 and it's working just fine with W7 comuter. I then hooked up one of my primary computers to the Hanns-g monitor and I was back to no image thru DVI. That computer has an ATI HD3400 video card which is 1920 x 1080 capable. | ||

But it did work with the DVD player HDMI-DVI-D? And none of the computers? Time to call Hanns-G support. User reviews aren't good. http://www.amazon.com/Hanns-G-19Wide-Hb191Dpb-Dvi-D-Hdcp/product- ... ewpoints=1 |
