LCD not running in digital mode?

My LCD seems to run fine off of my analog connector to my video card, but when I hook up the digital input, tell the monitor to detect digital signals.. nothing, no luck. I'm using an MSI GeForce 4 Ti4400, a Hitachi CML170B+, and Windows XP.. any help is appreciated! Using the newest Nvidia drivers on their web site as well. Anyone have any ideas on how to get a digital picture, as opposed to my analog one? I have the cables and the connections correct...I'm stumped!
 
Have you gone to the nvidia display control panel? Go to nview display mode device settings and select output device.
 
Tried that, with no luck. 🙁

Checked Analog and Digital, and came up with a No Signal message. I had to wait for Windows to default back to Analog before I got a picture again.
 
make sure that you are running a refresh rate that your lcd will take. try 60 hz first and then change it if you want. hopefully that will help. also, be sure that the resolution set is in the capture range.
do you have the monitor inf file installed?
 
If your running above 60hz it'll only work in analog. From hitachi site 1280 x 1024** @ 60 or 75 Hz. Analog, 60 Hz. digital. So you need to be at 60hz like foofoo said.
 
Refresh rate is at 60 Hz.. still no luck detecting a digital signal 🙁

Any other solutions possible before I call Hitachi and start whining? hehe
 
I would guess that your Nvidia card is defective in that case - or the LCD is defective. The only way to confirm which would be to connect a different digital LCD. If that also fails, you have a bad video card or at least a setting that is wrong for it.
 
Installed the monitor drivers, still no luck...

I've used the digital connector on my video card with a digital-analog converter. Is the monitor defective?
