I have an Nspire (model N22) monitor that has display issues when booting up in Windows 7. The display is always blurry (needs to be setup in control panel) each time from bootup to get to the settings where you can clearly see the screen image. I have A Lenovol SL410 laptop connected to this monitor. Is there a driver update available for Windows 7? Is it possibly a conclict between Windows 7 (native drivers) versus Lenovol Thinkvantage monitor drivers? Finally, do you know if there is a way to set working setup in the startup folder? Thanks!

try separating the wires. Wires touching causes cross-talk of signals. Should be an immediate fix.

You may need to change the display settings on your computer. The following are instructions for both Windows XP and Windows 7

Thank you for using FixYa!

Hi,

Have you tried using the auto-adjust feature on your monitor?

If that doesn't help can you check they are both set up with the same refresh rate in your operating system?

Thanks,

Chris

If the screen is still blurry, the notebook display might need servicing.

Issues with distorted or blurry images normally happens of two issues.Either a graphics card driver issue or a hardware issue. Hence we need to isolate and verify where would the issue be.

Try going to BIOS, (to enter BIOS, usually you have to use the F1 or F2 or F5 or F10 or ESC or Del key, depending on the manufacturer option. If you are not sure which key to use, then shut down the computer and restart it, The moment you restart it, you will find an option like, "Press F10 for setup" something like that. the word "setup" usually refers to BIOS, note, this will be displayed only for few seconds) Hence press that key, while booting up and that will take you to BIOS, Please check if the issue persist on that screen. If the screen still persist on BIOS, its a monitor issue.

Else, that will be an issue with graphics driver, we can try updating the graphics driver

use the F8 menu, select ENABLE VGA MODE that will force a 640 x 480 resolution for that boot.

try an external monitor and see if that works if yes then problem is with LCD screen drivers and card is fine if not then problem with card or drivers

There's nothing wrong with the monitor. Monitors remember the settings for different video modes, including horizontal position. The video mode used when the splash screen displays is a size almost every monitor can handle. Then the mode switches to whatever you've set once Windows finishes startup. As long as the display is normal once Windows is running, you really don't need to be concerned.

If you want to correct the problem, you need to put the monitor into the same resolution and use its menu functions to adjust the size and position. Try pressing F8 when the machine boots to get into the Windows startup menu. This will probably also be shifted, so you can adjust the settings while the menu is being displayed.

There are a few possibilities here... It sounds like a Graphics Card problem. It may well be an issue on a certain resolution mode. Try changing the modes in windows control panel to see if you can replicate the problem. If you cant then it will likely be the Bios that needs an upgrade (Flash)
There is also a small chance that the LCD Cable needs to be reseated. One other tip is to plug in an external monitor and then check to see if that happens on the external monitor. If it only happens on the LCD then there wont be an issue with the graphics card and then leans towards a LCD Screen or cable problem. More diagnostics at: www.powerjackrepair.com
