What source should I consult to find out why my computer does not function with my new LCD monitor?

Q. I have a Quicksilver G4 mac (using OSX 10.3.9) that has a Nvidia GeForce2 MX graphics card. I recently purchased a Samsung 204B LCD monitor It has both VGA and DVI inputs and offers the ability to rotate the screen from landscape to portrait mode.
I can use the DVI input and the rotate feature on my new macbook (intel 950 graphics card) (using OS X 10.4.3) but not on the older G4. Only the VGA input works.
Is this a graphics card issue? Can it be tweaked? Who should I ask? How can I tell if another card will support the features?

A. Try lowering your screen resolution to 640X480 (256 Color)

That should activate it to default detection mode.
It Usually happens when the Video card is set to a Non-Standard Refresh rate. Or Set to a resolution the LCD can't handle.


What graphics card do I use for a 1920 by 1200 resolution LCD monitor?
Q. I am not very familiar with the relationship between monitors and graphics cards (since i do not have a graphics card). I need help in getting the right kind of graphics card that would successfully support a samsung LCD monitor (1920 by 1200). If it helps, I have Windows XP.
Can I use nvidia?
Please help me out!

A. Almost any graphics card you get today will support that resolution.

I would recommend getting one with a DVI connection, if your monitor supports DVI-D, as this will give a better picture.


The difference in all the video chipsets out there is the difference in the level of graphics acceleration. Useful for gaming or if you do tasks that use a lot of graphics horsepower like 3D modeling.

If that is not a problem to you then get one at the price point you feel comfortable with. If you are going to run Vista more graphics memory is possibility more important than more acceleration.
