2005fpw color problems

[imported_Zeke]

jsut got my shiney new 2005fpw from dell, hooked it up...and its very green and washed out looking, changing the color settings on the OSD help a little but I cant get any sembalance of black on my desktop background (which is solid black). Running a dvi connection with my 9800 pro.

Hooked up analog connection and it seems alot better although still slightly green, perhaps I can fix the green level. Do I have a faulty dvi cable or what?

Well it magically fixed itself.....I don't know how to feel about that.

Was the monitor cold out of the box?

Perhaps it just needed to warm up and break in for a little while..

Has anyone else had this problem?

maybe your graphics card DVI is the culprit?

Doubtless, it would tend to be the thing that would cost me money to test.

Just RMA the damn thing. My 3 year-old laptop started showing pure white as magenta and pure black as red.
I suspected that the GPU had problems, but things looked okay after hooking up to a external monitor, so I deduced that the LCD was broken or the connection was loose.
I opened up my laptop, cleaned it out, and put it back together. It's now good.

Sine that LCD screen is brand-new, you have the right to RMA the thing. You don't want it to go out of warranty just to have problems down the road.

Gotta love Dell quality





It seems many many people have problems initially with the FPs.
But after three or four RMAs, i'm sure a good one will come along eventually :laugh:

Maybe one of the pins in the DVI cable is missing. That or the pins on your video card might be messed up.

yeah...I was so happy when I saw no dead pixels and no backlight bleeding....

If I can hook a monitor up to the dvi port of my graphics card through a conveter and have it work fine does that mean the dvi output on the card works correctly?
