Are you using a digital cable or analog one? another to check is the monitor MHZ setting for refresh rate. Most good lcd monitors can support 60-75MHZ just fine. Quote
FortranDragon Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 another to check is the monitor MHZ setting for refresh rate. Most good lcd monitors can support 60-75MHZ just fine. Just set the refresh rate to 60 for an LCD monitor. Since LCDs don't have refresh rates they just report 60 to make Windows happy. Oh, and I recommend using a DVI cable if you can. You'll get a better picture. Quote
[TNT] Sonic Goo Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 ViewSonic screen *looks over shoulder, waves* Quote
>FoXSy< Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 How can i tell if my cable is digital or analog? Okay, so i did the refresh thing and put it to 60, it was perfect, it only blinked once in awhile, and then i was playing NOLF2 and my lag was unbearable so i thought it was the fact that my detail was in high so i put it to normal so i wont lag, and then my whole monitor was resetted or something and it blinked like crazy so i put it back to high and it didnt change anything! so now im back to where i was, no, worse because not only do i lag horribly, my screen keeps blinking AND i have the refresh rate at 60! ... help me Moody or youll never get the honor to be beaten by me!

Moody Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 hahaha Sorry but I cant help you, buy a new monitor or something Quote
Eliteone Posted February 3, 2006 Posted February 3, 2006 anolg cable ends are usually blue the Digital isn't. Also analog connection to the vid card is blue and the digital is white usually. Quote

FortranDragon Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 How can i tell if my cable is digital or analog? Click here or here to check the end of your video cable. Quote
Eliteone Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 The blue connector in this pic is for an Analog connection. The other for DVI (digital) Quote
FortranDragon Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 The blue connector in this pic is for an Analog connection. The other for DVI (digital) That's a single-link DVI-D. The only reason I mention that is there are some variants on the DVI connector so if you have something slightly different you should still be ok. Oh, the VGA connector is also know as a 15 pin D-Sub. My monitor is labeled with the D-Sub terminology. :sigh: Quote
>FoXSy< Posted February 6, 2006 Author Posted February 6, 2006 Mines an analog cable. Give me more details on how to enable vsync, please. Quote
Surak Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Just noticed you can't change it in nolf2, its on already. Don't really know what the problem might be besides a broken graphics card. Quote
Slngsht Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 something else to look at: look at your monitor's manual. It should say what resolutions are supported by it. If nolf and CSS are running in an unsupported resolution, your monitor will be hating life and expressing that fact to you. Quote
>FoXSy< Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 Thanks, ill be sure to try that sling...even thought i hate manuels, their so boring and dont have pictures damnit! makes me wonder if reading that manuel is worth ever playing NOLF2 again...hmmm Quote
[FF5]Knix Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Maybe it comes in "manual on tape" or pop-up book form for you Fox. Call the company up and find out. Quote

If you do, see if you can swap video cables for a quick test. (Make sure the cable is firmly connected and is screwed in properly. ;-)) If the problem goes away you need a new cable. If the problem persists return the cable you borrowed and then hook your monitor up to the other PC (installing the monitor driver, too) and try NOLF 2 on it. If the problem happens then I would suspect your monitor. If the problem doesn't happen I would suspect your video card. I'd also make sure you have the latest monitor driver from the manufacturer. Oh, just which particular model Viewsonic do you have? A trip through Viewsonic's support base might be useful. Quote

In return for your help ill get you a date with a real live female with real boobies like i promised you, and no, she live wont inside the monitor... althought i cant promise shell be as attracted to you as you are to her. Ahem, back to the topic, ill try to get my hands on the manuel because the monitor only says ViewSonic and has three little cute birdies at the top left corner and i doubt the name of the monitor has the word bird in it.

Eliteone Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 the back of it should have a model/serial number tag on it near where the cables hook up. Quote
