I think this monitor does not support DVI (Digital Video Interface)

but its better than the e*gay for around $1500.

WOW If only I had the MONEY! I jump on this in a sec!! NICE!

 

[Delbert]

Two side by side using extended desktop would be sooooo sweet.

 

[kaiotes]

only if i had money

 

[iwearnosox]

White is icky.

 

[NICKel]

Does this support standard 15 pin? Becuase most of the ones I have seen require special ports and cables (with the exception of the proviews)

 

[moks78]

Nice deal but got no moolah to get this baby!:frown:

 

[iwearnosox]

t85d = digital interface (24 pin)
t85a = analog, standard 15 pin.
white = icky.

search by seller on eb@y auctions.ibm.com for more deals. No, I'm not affiliated.

 

[TimeKeeper]

it doesn't really matter, because DVI-to-DB15 or DB15-to-DVI adapter cost only $9.50.
from this place call....oscaroscar.com

It works great w/ my MX.

 

[NICKel]

Thanks Timekeeper !!!!

Linkified DVI adapter

It seems too simple .... you don't need a special video card?

 

[TimeKeeper]

no..thanks to Noobody. (although, I know this deal a while ago, just don't think the most people going to spend that much on Monitor. But again, people spend $400 for a video card?)

But since this IBM is A-model, you don't need any adapter for your video card.
I use adapter because my Inno3D Secondary out is DVI, that I need adapter for twinview.

Whoah, excellent price. I picked up an NEC 18.1" for this price a while back. If anyone is looking for flat panels with DVI, there are only three I know of:

Compaq 15"- not selling anymore
Princeton Graphics 15" - comes with ATI 8 meg XL card
and of course my favorite
Silicon Graphics 18" theatre wide Flat panel - comes with number nine 32mb video card.

I have no problems or ghosting of my monitor, so I really cant tell the differences. But once Plasma goes to 20"-27" tvs, then I have found the ultimate monitor, cus its 40"-50" now an $10k is alot to shell out. That would probably kill the Wega, since the prices will be similar.

PLASMA RULES!

Nice review on 15" LCD's at Zdnet

 

[gittyup]

Nice Price!

AlBundyHere,

The SGI is not DVI. It's OpenLVD and the only one with true 1600x1024 resolution. Everything else that's DVI is limited to 1280x1024 as that's a DVI hardware limitation.

 

[djbacklash]

No - the SGI 1600SW now comes with a MultiLink adapter that supports DVI. Not all vid cards will show the full 1600x1024 res, but some do (the rest will only display 1280x1024). I have mine hooked up to the DVI output of a Matrox G400Max. But I'm upgrading to either an AIW Radeon or GeForce2 Ultra because both have DVI and support the max resolution.

 

[Allen7]

Sold out item.

If you buy an LCD *DON'T* use the 15 pin VGA connector! Why spend $1000-$2000 for sub-par image quality? Using the DVI interface will result in a clearer picture. There are plenty of cards that can do DVI too (Radeon, Geforce2 MX w/ DVI, etc). Just avoid anything from Nvidia that isn't a Geforce2 MX as the others support it but not as well.

 

[cmv]

Oh yeah, the 1600SW w/ multilink adaptor does let you use DVI and the 1600x1024 resolution. Plenty of posts on usenet about that and even one or two on the forums.

Thats a great price for that monitor. Too bad that monitor sucks though. I'd rather save myself $300 and and get a much tighter dot pitch on a regular CRT monitor and get 21" too. But still a good find though for a flat panel.
