I have been on several forums, and had a little testing. Heres what i found: On my X800XL, all is ok with a Viewsonic VP171b monitor. I get post/boot picture. With my NEC, it doesn't work, as already stated. If i use the Viewsonic, and start up. During post i hit "pause" button to freeze...

I cant find that setting mate! By the way, i'm in norway... and i think teres a difference between these monitors sold in europe sompared to the US version about the HD capable stuff..?

So i need a new graphics card? :confused:

I tried connecting a second PC with a Radeon 9700 in it. This works as it normally should. I have image on the screen all the way. Looks to me if theres something wrong with the DVI output of my X800XL then...

Oh ffs!! I paused my PC on the post screen. No image. Connected a different LCD (a viewsonic) to the DVI and i GET a picture. So theres not anything wrong with the card i presume? Still in pause at post i reconnect the NEC, and VOILA! I get picture!! :D I rebooted and CRAP!! Picture...

Tried your tip. I disconnected he DVI, and connected the monitor through D-SUB. Rebooted and i get picture in boot like one normally would. When in windows, i disconnected D-SUB and reconnected DVI. Picture comes back. Reboot, and its the same as before :( Any other ideas?

It works in windows with DVI! Only not during the boot process. So when i reboot, i loose picture. "No signal" on both D-SUB and DVI. But as soon u get to windows loading your personal settings and such, the image comes back. Will trie to connect the monitor via the D-SUB though. Thanx! :)

I just got my NEC Display and gave the old Nokia CRT the boot. Problem is, i connected the NEC to the DVI connection on my Radeon X800XL card... and it works great in windows, but i have no picture during boot?? Why is this? :confused:

Thanx i bet i will... can't settle for less now :rolleyes: Haven't tried LCD too much myself when it comes to gaming... how bad does the graphics get if u don't play in native resolution with the NEC?

F*** me :eek: must... have... Anyone with pic of the totally black version? upd: erhm... so the black/silver is the totally black one.. :o

Great thread :) Thinkin of either this Viewsonic or the NEC one... here in norway the NEC is roughly 33% more expensive. A bit hard to decide though... some like the NEC better and some the Viewsonic :confused:
