So is everyone who owns this monitor experiencing the blackout issue, and if so does it make you wish you had purchased a different monitor?
No blackouts, and i would never trade for any other equivalent monitor in price or size

So is everyone who owns this monitor experiencing the blackout issue, and if so does it make you wish you had purchased a different monitor?
YesIs that the blackout that everyone talks about that happened during the COD4 gameplay?
Personally I found it to happen only when using extremely high resolutions ingame. my consoles are not effected by the blackouts. Also my monitor is a month old so yeah they haven't fixed it.How often this blackout happens, is that a very bothering problem ? Is it possilble that in the newer versions of xhd3000 there are no blackouts ?
I'm thinking it's probably DVI related as Glimmerman eluded to. Try using a DVI to HDMI cord test for us would one of you?
I wonder: is there any way to turn of the scaler?
1:1 doesn't seem to turn the scaler off. I get the same input lag that is there when I use a lower res in widescreen mode.I ran my display at lower resolution (1680x1050) for two days now. No blackouts at all. So it seems the blackout affects only very high resolution, as unrealsword had mentioned.
Yes, when displaying lower resolution, you can go into the Video Scaling menu and select 1:1
Which games in particular? I have a 30" display and looking to upgrade to a 8800GT or 9800GTX, but would much rather have a single slot card.My current 8800GT is working hard to push 1920x1200.... I can only imagine that it require a SLI or CF setup to play games at 2560x1600 with more than 30-40 FPS....
Got this monitor and love it. However, Vista 32-bit only sees it as a generic Pnp Monitor. As such, as least one of my games won't offer 2560x1600 resolution... even though the game supports it. I've looked at the Gateway website and called them and they state they do not offer a monitor driver.
Edit: Hmmm.. just found this, "The correct driver for Gateway monitors is the Generic Plug and Play driver."
Any suggestions or work arounds to get games to allow 2560x1600 resolution if they don't like seeing Generic Plug and Play driver.
So about scaling... anyone try to do 1:1 and see if scaling turns off? IT doesnt for me.
So if you are able to get something to scale the image externally to 2560x1600 or can set your graphics card to do the scaling for you instead of the monitor, then that will fix the problem.
I have lost the ability to adjust settings such as contrast, color etc. using the monitor menu. It seems the Nvidia control panel has hi-jacked the adjustments. I tried uninstalling and re-installing EZtune, but no difference.
Any thoughts?
P.S. I can't get anywhere with Gateway supportI get things like 'our monitor is not compatible with your computer, we can only help you if you have a Gateway computer hooked up to a Gateway monitor'. /sigh
is it true this has only 1 hdmi input?
Hello,
I,ve been using this monitor for about 3 months now. No issues, no defects, no problems. I haven't had any speakers hooked up to the audio outputs till this week. In anticipation to heeking up an Xbox, I hooked up the audio output to some speakers. WELL, when you turn on the monitor from being put to sleep there is this incredibly obnoxious LOUD tone/melody that now emanates from the speakers every time you wake it up. If you forget to turn off the speakers, it blows you out of the room.
I've looked in the menu's and can't find anything to do with it. I have Klipsch Speakers and it plugs into the IPOD input directly into the speakers, that ,may be why it is SO LOUD. I just want it off.
Anyone know how to do this?
yep, hdmi switches are wicked cheap though
have a link to a good one?
tyia
you could mute the sound with your remote before you turn it off.
That wasn't my question.
what do you mean then? The wake up sound the monitor makes can be disabled by muting the monitor.
DUH! I'm trying to find out if someone knows a service menu setting to disable it.
