jeffro Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Heres the deal. I have a gtx260 superclocked.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130372 i purchased a samsung sa300 seen here:http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/computer-peripherals/monitors/consumer/LS23A300BS/XK/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification&subsubtype=series-3-led For some reason when i try to hook them up via a the dvi cable i have, i run into some serious issues. The display either A) doesnt show anything but recognizes that its plugged in, or B) displays the full 1920X1080 resolution, but outside the limits of the monitor; meaning stuff like the taskbar, and the left most column of icons is off the screen. The DVI Cable im using appears to be DVI-i (single link) seen in the picture below http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/DVI_Connector_Types.svg/277px-DVI_Connector_Types.svg.png I get the same thing on another 23" monitor plugged into the same or different port on the card. It seems to display fine with a full DVI-I (dual link) to VGA adaptor, but im afraid with the VGA im getting some signal loss thru the adaptor while playing games. Plus the connectors stick like 6" out the back of the machine. What am i missing here? do i need a full DVI-I dual link cable in order for it to auto adjust right? It does not allow me to hit the auto adjust on the monitor when plugged in via the DVI-i (single link) cable i have. Thanks for any insight.

jeffro Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I also get something very similar to the right side of this picture. When the screen is white and starts to face back to normal colors i get solid, choppy shades rather than a smooth transition. http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/attachments/photoshop-newbies/11376d1323706868t-easiest-way-create-gradient-banding-untitled-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Sounds like you need to replace your card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrmnhrm Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Check your drivers for both the monitor and the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 displays the full 1920X1080 resolution, but outside the limits of the monitor; meaning stuff like the taskbar, and the left most column of icons is off the screen. Check to see if your tv is set to "stretch" or "fill" mode as well, those can make it overscan while in 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a TV... drivers were my next thought but ill probably just leave it the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
