So i plugged up my old 17 inch crt monitor and it works...which baffles me. Im not sure why my New 22 inch Chimei monitor is not working...i tried changing resolutions and everything, but no source it says. As soon as i installed drivers it stopped working. I also tried getting the new drivers off the Nvidia website with no luck. Odd that this was working fine for a couple weeks, until i got that BSoD and after it wouldnt work. Input is really appreciated.'
Edit: just found this on newegg..possibly the problem...only im not turning it off, but windows startup may be tripping it.
Pros: The picture is crisp, the refresh rate is great, I don't have a single dead pixel.
Cons: If you are using the DVI input for this monitor you will not be able to turn the monitor on or off while Windows is running. If you do, when you turn the monitor back on it will fail to get a signal. This is a known issue at Chimei tech support, their response is that "this is a feature"
Other Thoughts: It seems that in the U.S. Chimei has a single tech support guy, who was not helpful and claimed that the inability was actually a feature to prevent "frying the monitor". When I asked why this monitor couldn't handle it with DVI only and how my other 19" monitor is quite capable, he only reiterated that it was a feature to prevent "frying"
