Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I made a video of what's happening. It's actually a little bit different from what I remember happening back when it broke, I seem to recall it was just a flash of light and then nothing. Today when I try to switch it on, it hisses at me and constantly tries to re-initialize/degauss the screen...
Hi everyone. I've been fortunate enough to use a really nice FW900 for quite some time. However, sometime last year it started having problems: at first, it refused to turn on unless I retried the power button multiple times. It would sound like it's turning on properly, but there would be no...
Hi everyone. So I've got a Sony FW900, and I'm trying to use it on a modern Mac Mini. I've hooked up the VGA to the Displayport via a converter and it seems to work perfectly fine, correctly detects the monitor type so it's getting the EDID I'm guessing.
However, even after installing...
Thank you for your reply, since the topic was starting to get old I didn't expect that anyone would find it anymore. :)
And yes, they do. They're regular, cheap power extenders with an on/off switch, but they are grounded. Here's a picture:
Hi all,
First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong place! I've got a nice Sony GDM-FW900 that I'm very happy to have, but lately it's been occasionally turning itself off and showing a blinking orange on/off light.
Here's a video showing what that looks like...
1920x1200 is supposed to be the best resolution, but I use 1600x1000. Partially because of the quality loss in DVI-VGA conversion and partially because I haven't yet had the guts to poke a screwdriver in my monitor to turn the focus knobs.
I already tried three different converters, and I'm not sure if I want to get yet another one at an even higher price... it's too bad that the FW900 only has VGA input, and bummer that quality is reduced by so much when the source output is digital :(
If neither a standard DVI-VGA cable nor a...
Sorry for replying so late...
Just to be sure, when you say that a DVI to D-sub might cause shadowing, what exactly is D-sub? Right now I've got a male DVI to male VGA cable that I use to connect my monitor, and though I'm not exactly sure what shadowing is, I suppose that's what my problem is...
Hi everybody :D
I'm a recent proud owner of an FW900. It's an amazing monitor, and I really like the CRT technology.
Until a while ago I used to hook it on to an older Apple Powerbook with VGA output, which worked fine. Now I'm using a slightly newer PowerBook with DVI output... and I've...
