Hello everyone,
last night i moved my last so i can watch it from the bed and now today when i restarted i keep getting no signal when anything loads.

Before it would do it only once at boot but now, if i load a video game it will do that, basically any place where the resolution has to change it displays No Signal for like 5 seconds, its very aggrivating..


I replugged in all the cords and that did not help..

Also i am using the DVI inputs with a Radeon 9500 pro.


If i am using the dvi inputs does that automatically mean im running in digital input mode??

you should be, unless your lcd has an analogue to DVI connector, in which case you are running analogue. When you moved your LCD did you switch cords? Is there anything that can cause interferance? Can you try the LCD on a different computer to see if that problem is reproduceable? Do you have spare cords you can use for the monitor to see if its the cords? Did you try to plung the monitor in a different socket to see if its the power from the socket that might be messing with it?

All those questions are there to help you isolate the problem, if its not the computer then try the cord, if its not the cord then its the monitor. If it turns out to be the moitor then try different resolutions and see how that works, if different settings dont help and you are sure its the monitor i would try calling the company that produces it to see if they can help (or at least get you an RMA)...

If its something in the computer (say you upgraded your video drivers to CAT 3.7 and this started) then I would try switching the outputs for the LCD on yout Video card (mine has 2: R9700pro), try different drivers and see in your control panel if there is anything unusal.

I have a Viewsonic that says digital mode every time it switches modes. I think it is only a second or two but I have learned to live with it. As long as it comes back and works well, I think you are ok.
