Question about Samsung 997DF 19" CRT Monitor

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?

Michael Starr Jun 17, 2007

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?

The spring on the kickstand ot our 2002 road king harley needs to be changed. need diagram or explanantion as to how to go about doing it.

Have someone hold your bike up straight while you operate the kick stand. Find the point at which the spring has the least amount of stretch to it. Hook the spring on the frame and use a spring hook or a pair of side cut pliers to stretch the spring onto the kickstand at this point. If the spring hook on the frame is held on by bolts, you can loosen the bolts but don't take the completely off to shorten the stretch. That's the way I've always done it. Just make certain you get the correct spring.

Good Luck
Steve

Hello.
It does not look like there is something wrong with electronics in your TV. Most likely settings for picture are got messed up. It could be TV settings or source (cable box, etc. settings).
Using remote control of your TV find picture settings in menu and make sure it set to "standard" instead of "zoom", "stretch", "wide" etc. You might need to do the same with cable/satellite box menu. Some devices have button "picture" or "format" on remote control for this purpose.
You can also connect DVD player first and see if picture is stretched as well to determine if it is TV settings are wrong or it is outside of TV set.
Regards.
Russ.

I have a Gateway MX8711 Laptop and all of a sudden it powered off and even when I plugged in the power cord thinking that it may be the battery, it still will not power back on. What could be the problem?...

It should still run while plugged in dead battery or not. Depending on the age it may just have worn out. Power supply may be dead, that would be my guess.Most shops will charge a $70 fee to test it.

Certain years of brand new Gateways has a horrendous history of dying leading to a lot of "refurbished" machines being unleashed on the public.

My tv seems to be stuck on one channel. changed batteries no luck wont change even with the buttons on thetv.

Mine did the same, you will probably need a software update ! contact where you bought it and a guy usualy turns up within 24 hours hooks it up to his lap top and hey presto,, I was told it was a common fault with early samsungs (as I have one !) Just for information I wouldn't buy another samsung if they where free, they are slow and the picture break up is horrendous

You might want to try altering the resolution of the display in control panel.
Some DVD's and games you used may have reset the resolution to a new setting in order to run. try 1024x768 or higher and if none of those do it try 800x600 not that many monitors use that res these days they are all much higher, but see which one comes close to the real res. there is also a facilty to "stretch" 9 without distortion.
