Looking at making it a main monitor on a dual setup with my 19" standard.

I was looking at this

i’ve had this model for awhile and i love it

I have this one sitting next to my 22" Ultrasharp E2208WFP and the only disadvantage to the 228WFP is the stand.

And now I’ll sit here and wait for Potroast to come in and diss dell…

i think hes temp. banned….not sure though. just havent seen him in awhile bashing things…
I used to have the Acer AL2216wbd, but sold it to get the Samsung 226bw. The Acer is a decent monitor, but should pay the extra for the Samsung.

I also have a Samsung 906bw (19" WS) set up as my secondary monitor for dual setup.
Have two 19" Samsungs at the office, and a 24" at home. Love ‘em.

Yeah, he is, last week and this week I think.

The silence is deafening, isn’t it? It shouldn’t be so remarkable that one single person is gone, but it is.
I use both of these ViewSonic models with great success – the first one I use as a TV also…
VG2230wm
VA2226w
A monitor you can watch TV on – does that mean you can use it as a TV card too, and view TV in your OS?

No, some of them have RCA in on them – not sure if they have coax – but it’s direct to the Monitor and not through/to your computer.

Any reccomendations on a new monitor? Looking for something in the 22" range without built in speakers

thanks in advance
Viewsonic, I have been buying their monitors, mainly the VG models for the last 8 years and never had a problem or have a monitor break.

I run 2 LCD monitors connected via DVI to a single card. I’ve been running this setup for almost 8 months now. Well last night I disconnected my PC moved my desk around and reconnected it all again.

Boot her up.

Only 1 display works. Hmmm…
Check all the cables, all is in order.
Disconnect Display A. Reboot. Display B works just fine.
Reconnect Display A. Disconnect Display B. Reboot. Display A works just fine.

So both displays still work, both ports on the back still working also. They just do not work together.

If I go into display settings and turn “Extend my Desktop on to this monitor” hit apply, the option becomes unchecked and will not use the other display.
I’m really at a loss for trouble shooting this after playing with it for 2 hours last night.

Vid Card: nvidia 8600 GTS
Vista Ultimate SP1
This happens to me sometimes if I disconnect one or both of my monitors.

Try reinstalling the nvidia drivers then plug everything in and reboot. If you only get one screen coming on once your back into windows, try unplugging the dvi cable for then screen that is working while in windows and see if that makes it detect the other screen.

Trust me, I run a setup almost exactly like you and its a pain sometimes when things like this happen. You just have to play with it till it decides to work again.

Yea video drivers are the only ones i didn’t uninstall last night. Will try that first, I have tried the unplug the working one and it just leave me with no display
Driver re-install does nothing but it appears I have tracked down the issue. I ts stuck in sleep mode. and some info on the monitor has been corrupted
did you try the simple solution? look at display manager and see if the other monitor is enabled?
Fixed.
The problem was with the monitor itself. There is a defects in the Viewsonic where it can become stuck in sleep mode and basically will not communicate via DVI with the PC.
The Fix I used was:
Connect a the Viewsonic Via SVGA and DVI.
Boot the PC.
Remove the SVGA cable.
Allow the monitor to just run using the DVI cable for approx 15 – 20 secs.
Remove the power cable from the monitor.
Be sure to use the power button to ensure all power is drained from the monitor.
Reboot your PC and viola!
