    ATI 4850 screen randomly flashes black

    I've read of others seeing this error but have never actually seen it myself. Nothing shows up in the system event log, either. I wonder if there's something I have to tweak to make this error appear. What I've done for now is switch from using a DVI-to-HDMI cable to using a VGA cable for my...

    ATI 4850 screen randomly flashes black

    So I have a problem with my system where the screen will randomly flash to black, and then come back. Sometimes it'll be for just a second, sometimes long enough for the monitor to decide there's no signal at all; sometimes it will just do it once, and sometimes it will be so frequent and...

    ATI Catalyst 8.8 released

    Just installed 8.8 (without uninstalling 8.7) and rebooted. Ran Lost Coast stress test 3 times and got consistent results at about 169 fps, which is pretty much the same as before. Looks good so far. We'll see how stable it is.

    ATI Catalyst 8.8 released

    Anyone try these yet with a 4850 on Vista x64? I already went through the hassle once of completely reinstalling Vista because of wonky drivers which made my screen flash black (I blamed Asus's SmartDoctor). This gave me huge performance gains, and I'm reluctant to mess with the drivers now...

    HD4850 & HL2 performance update

    I've gotten similar results in my near-identical system (see signature). Consistently around 165-170 fps in the Lost Coast stress test at 1920x1200 with all features maxed. This is with the Catalyst 8.7 drivers. I may try out the new 8.8's if I feel brave...

    4850: HDMI "via Adapter"????

    I had this same issue with the 4850 on my 24" monitor with HDMI input. The answer is the special ATI DVI-HDMI adapter, which seems to carry an audio signal at the expense of color range, thus making the picture more grainy. I switched to a standard DVI-HDMI cable, since I don't use the...

    Just Ordered My Westinghouse L2410NM!!

    I've had my l2410nm for a few months, and just built a new computer running an ATI HD 4850 on Vista x64. I'm having an odd problem that seems to relate to the DVI vs. HDMI issue mentioned in other parts of this thread. (Forgive me if this exact thing has already been brought up -- I haven't...

    Just Ordered My Westinghouse L2410NM!!

    Picked up this monitor from BB last Friday. The typical issues seem to be there: buzzing below 98 brightness (not audible on top of my PC's noise), and screendoor in the upper right corner (not noticeable unless you're looking for it from up close). I'm having a heck of a time calibrating...

    LG L246WP-BN price drop?

    I've been doing some extensive shopping for a 24" LCD, and having basically eliminated TNs for just not liking how they look, I've narrowed it down to either the LG L246WP-BN or the Westinghouse L2410NM. The big difference for me is price; the cheapest I've seen the LG is $600 at a local Best...

    Gateway FHD2400

    In the market for a 24" monitor, and have been looking at this monitor. Seems like it's the best on-paper, but there are way too many backlight bleeding issues to try it, I think. I've seen the display models at 3 different Best Buys and one Circuit City. Two of them had very noticeable BLB...
