130Hz seems very high to me.... -----Original Message----- From: discuss-admin at blu.org [mailto:discuss-admin at blu.org] On Behalf Of Ryan L. Kitchen Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 7:21 AM To: discuss at blu.org Subject: Single Sync Woes I recently acquired a very interesting piece of equipment: A very large single sync monitor with 3 (RGB) bnc connections on the back. It is marked as a Digital brand model VRT19-HA, but it is also marked as a GDM-1961 which I am told indicates the touch of sony? not that it matters.... At any rate, I have a five connector bnc to 15 pin vga cable and i'm ready to roll... or am I. It is not a multi sync monitor, it is very picky about the vertical and horizontal refresh rates. In good ol' Solaris and linux et al you can manually choose these things. I'm sure it would work fine on my sparc with my handy dandy 13w3 adapter...but i want to use this thing on a pc. I have a geforce 2 256. I also have a GeForce 4 Ti4200 that is waiting for a power supply and case to power the M.B. that will hold it. I have heard this monitor requires a video card that can support a refresh rate of 130 cycles ... I know the Geforce 2 goes at least to 120... I'm not sure about the GF4. Basically, I am hardware oriented, but I've never really taken a monitor apart or done any significant modifications. I also understand how a capacitor works and how large the ones are in CRT based devices (such as monitors and tv's). I would prefer to be alive. With all this in mind, can anyone enlighten me? I don't really want to buy any other video cards, as I have 2 very nice ones already... but is there a home made solution to get this thing running? I just don't seem to have very many resources. yes I have soldering iron and the necessary know how... Many thanks, Ryan K. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss at blu.org http://www.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
