Question about Samsung 997DF 19" CRT Monitor

1 Answer

Screen Distortion at certain Refresh Rates

Hello, My 997DF has had a certain problem ever since I tried hooking up my laptop to it. The picture is horrendously stretched except at certain refresh rates. I use 1024x768, and 800x600. In the former, 85hz displays an accurate picture. In the latter 100 does as well. Any other refresh rate makes the entire screen distort. Again, before my laptop was hooked up to this monitor, it worked beautifully. What can be done?

    I have connected the monitor to two different PCs, and the distortion was the same. I connected a separate monitor to my PC and the distortion was nowhere to be found, so the problem is definitely in the monitor, and not in the PC. I have never tried hooking up my laptop to another monitor because I was afraid it would mess that one up too, then I'd be SOL. (inevitably, Dell would blame Samsung and Samsung would blame Dell)

    I have, however, used the laptop on quite a number of other displays (projectors, TVs etc) and they have all worked quite well.

Have you connected the laptop to another monitor and use the same refresh rates that cause the distortion? If the distortion appears on a different monitor, then I would have your laptop examined by a pc engineer, but, if the distortion only appears on the 997DF monitor, I suggest having the monitor checked at a repair shop, also, have you tried connecting the 997DF to a desktop PC, and use the same refresh rates?

I connected my AOC moniter to TV tuner card.I can watch all the TV channels now but a box in the middle of screen displayed as input not supported. Please suggest me???
not certain what that means but check the broadcast protocols that are options of the card's menus and the protocols the monitor can use.
Also check the maximum resolution of the monitor, the refresh rates it can support, the modes too and check that the settings on the cards software are not exceeding them, it may be that the resolution or refresh rates are beyond the monitor's capability to display

Laptop screen keeps flickering
Changing the refresh rate might help.

Right click on the screen. In the box that comes up select Graphic Properties. In the window that comes up click information. Box that comes up select monitor tab. Will have a list of display sizes and refresh rates that are supported by your monitor. Once you have that information you can make changes.

FYI: Acer says max resolution 1920 X 1080 with 75 HZ refresh rate.

Also if you have a tube light or speaker system close to the monitor then try moving it further away.

The display on my laptop is blurry and has some type of distortion making it difficult to see (especially photos and videos). I've tried multiple resolution settings and none seem to resolve the issue.
Are you sure the video adapter card is OK? A low-end video card may not
have the bandwith necessary to support high refresh rates at high
resolution. Just because the card will *generate* a given mode doesn't mean
that it will work well. Try the following steps.

1. Reduce the refresh rate to 60 Hz The monitor may seem to flicker a
little, but don't worry about it.

2. If there was no change, the problem is likely in the monitor

3. If that improved the resolution, then try removing any monitor extender
cables and play with higher refresh rates again. If that fixes the probem,
great, otherwise

3. Replace the videa adapter card with a better one.

For the laptop presario cq62 i tried to change the screen refresh rate but the only option there is, is 60 hertz. i beed 70 or higher
your screen refresh rates are governed by the graphics adapter in the computer so if it's not available, it's not available. for what it's worth, mine only has 60Mhz refresh rate. having looked at this range of laptops, it's unlikely that you would be able to upgrade the graphics adapter.

When i try to connect my laptop to my rca l40fhd41, it will show for a few seconds then a message comes up on the tv "unsupported" and it wont work as a monitor.
You need to reset the laptop video screen output resolution and refresh rate to something compatible with the HDTVs acceptable parameters. Consult the TVs owner's manual for a chart showing the acceptable screen resolutions and refresh rates. You are looking for numbers like 1024 X 768 or 600 X 800 for screen resolution. Your laptop will allow you to setup different screen resolutions for output. You just have to find one the TV likes.

Go into control panel, properties, advanced, monitor, refresh rate and select display refresh rates that my monitor can display and then choose which one best suites you and your problem.

Distorted shrunken picture
hi

reduce the resolution to a bit lower and the refresh rate to a nominal 60hz and things should get back to normal

my hunch is u r using a slightly high resolution and refresh rates

but before that try the buttons on the monitor to see if expanding the image sideways or top and bottom would help initially

cheers
pls rate if this was any help

Monitor
did some thing change your refresh rates in the display section of your settings for the monitors? also have you tried to hook up another computer to see if it will display on the monitor? if nothing displays on the monitor then the monitor is faulty. if another computer (even a laptop) can display on the monitor then the video is set to high for the monitor to understand it. to reset monitor refresh with out a screen that will work you need to get into safe mode and reset the display settings to 60 hz and only 800 x 600 for starters and increase them until you cannot get a signal. if you cannot do this then a service shop will be able to assist you

LCD TV and VGA output
The resolution and refresh rates have to match exactly to the TV for it to work correctly with the computer.

The newer computers are using much faster refresh rates by default. Their default resolution is also different.

Consult the manual for the TV and see if the computer's external monitor output can be set to match to what the TV exactly requires. Both the refresh rate and resolution are critical.
