I know this is a fairly old thread, but I thought it might be useful to expand it to VGA to HDMI scalers (or possibly start a new thread for that) ?

This is really strange . As far as I can tell BA0/BA1 refers to PCI registers . Other than maybe a video card, do you have any PCI devices slotted in the motherboard ? In another thread, someone mentioned the issue might be related to a BIOS setting . Would you be willing to RESET your CMOS settings …

There is a good chance the panels use same connector, and when they do (and share resolution) the Dell panel will work fine with Samsung electronics, though you may transplant an EEPROM chip from one panel to the other as often is needed with laptop panels. I actually thought of that too, but the …

Not same thing. LVDS are different signaling. I suggest look around and get a replacement panel, but first thing, open up the monitor and get the part number off the panel. 50,000 hours is too old and backlight and LCD itself do and will degrade with time. That's approx 15 years or more or 5 years …

Yes it is indeed a trident 8900C. Known issue with no workaround, use a CRT or another card.. Sorry. 8900 is a fast card and I have one with 1MB RAM too, but the same issue prohibits me from using it.. How does the 8900 compare to the Cirrus Logic 5429? Also 1mb ISA. I would take an ISA Cirrus …

I have just had an idea . If I the Samsung 204B panel goes completely, maybe I can salvage its guts and use them with an LVDS (I assume thats what the mainboard and panel use to communicate) to HDMI converter . EDIT : That probably would not work with 70Hz modes if the LVDS interface is actually …

the OSSC handles mode-x and mode-y fine, but it's not a scaler per se - it's just a line multiplier if your display will not tolerate the video modes natively, it still may or may not tolerate them when multiplied 2 or 3x Thank you, that is good to know . I will post back once I get to try that …

I think you need to register these files with regsvr32 How do you go about doing that? Never messed with regsvr32 before, thanks! If the you put the files back to were they were, I don't think you need to re-register them (unless the Installshield installer/uninstaller unregistered them) . The …

I just got a call back from Crestron support . Their policy is that only their dealers have access to firmware updates . I ordered my unit NIB from a certain auction site, so I guess I'm out of luck if I actually need a firmware update .

Interesting review I found on Under a Killing Moon, written back in 1995... who knew blogs existed :D But it answers my question somewhat, since I haven’t tried it myself. Author mentions a few interesting key points: “It comes on four CD's and seemingly delights in telling you that your video card …

I recently switched to a Dell 2007FPB A05 (S-IPS, I am pretty sure) from my slowly degrading Samsung 204B (which I will keeping as a backup until its panel rots away completely) . The 2007FPB is really nice, but probably not as bright as when it was new (it has 50000 some hours on it), but has no …
