Hi Tom,
 
I have set up a lot of monitors using the DVI connection. The only
problem I have encountered is where the video card is set so the vga
connector is the default connection. Under those circumstances the
monitor won't function at all and I have to hook up a VGA monitor for a
minute and configure the card so the DVI connection is the default.
After that it works fine. If you are having color problems with a brand
new monitor I would try another cable and see if that fixes it. If not I
would hook up the monitor using a standard VGA cable. If it's still bad
try VGA on another computer. My guess is if another cable doesn't fix it
that you have a flakey monitor.
 
Pete

Hey folks,
 
Anyone have much experience with Monitors with DVI connections? I put my
first one together the other day, and it was a nightmare getting the
colors right. Didn't know if I got a whack monitor, or if its something
about DVI. I'm going to try it again tomorrow and wondered if my last
experience was a one-off, or if DVI connections need more babysitting.
 
TNX,
Tom
