WinXP Problem with seeing LCD

**EBoundEE** · 07-09-2003, 10:59 PM

So I finally got my LCD screen that I'm going to do for my car mod, and I want to try it out, so I hook it up to my computer using the rca cable to vga adaptor, and I have nothing. I'm wondering if it's just WinXP not recognizing it or what. I have it hooked up right and everything, just isn't working.

This is the LCD I bought:

Pyramid MV7SC 7" TFT LCD Color Monitor

The LCD works as I've tried it with my gamecube and dvd player. Any suggestions on what's going on with this??

Edit: My video card is a Chaintech GeForce4 Ti4200 with 128mb DDR. I'm using the S-Video output.

Have you tested the S-video output with a display you know works?

Typically, the video will auto detect a screen is hooked into the tv-out and use that as a primary display. But this may not be the case here. You may need to enable tv-out as your primary display. Also, some cards will only use Tv-out at low resolution such as 640x480 or 800x600.

So would it have a problem with displaying a resolution of 960 x 240 pixels?

Thats 320x240 pixels

960 consist of 1R +1G+ 1B = 1 pixel

or 960/3 = 320

so 320x240

But anyway, first test it on a real TV, if that works then SEARCH

I'm using S-Video, TV works fine. I'm wondering if S-Video has a problem displaying lower resolutions??

I pm'ed you back and you never answered

if your tv works fine then you probably have an impedence problem, hook up the lcd to your dvd player or some other source besides the computer, and I repeat, search, this happens all the time

Does anyone have this LCD or had experience with this LCD? I want to know if anyone's even gotten it to work with a PC, and what their setup was.

I have this LCD, works ok. The colors suck as well as the display itself. You cant read the small text, and the big text isnt clear either. I hate to say, thumbs down to this LCD. Im going to use it just as a secondary display.

its probably a resistance issue.. try this.. get it working with the tv.. power on the lcd and then plug it into the lcd while the computer is still on. You should get a picture on your lcd. if you do you need a 75 ohn resistor on your rca line
