Wide screen monitor is great
I recently bought a 1680x1050 monitor and I'm in heaven with the extra "real estate". This is my first DVI monitor too. I like it, but when my screen saver wakes up, I get the "DVI" message on top of windows for the longest time until it goes away. I have learned that if I hit the menu button on the monitor twice it will go away. I wish I didn't have to do that. I'm thinking about disabling the screen saver all together so that the signal will never go way to begin with. It's when the signal comes back that the "DVI" square appears for about 60 seconds or longer.

I have the samething with mine but it doesn't bother me. I just hit the enter key/space bar whatever and the screen comes back. I got a wide screen a few months ago and I love it. My fiance has a mac wide screen not sure if he has dvi or not I have a pc.

Mine is a viewsonic and it says no signal in the center of my screen and doesn't take that long to come back it's only seconds.

![]() I called up Gateway and told them of the problem, but they were not much help. They wanted me to install their software and I'm thinking, software for a monitor? Anyway I tried to install it and it hung my computer... LOL |

TV's: Composite Video - RCA jack - 2 conductors - worst choice S-Video - mini-din jack - 5 conductors - separates color signals on same cable Component video - RCA or BNC jacks - Separate cables for each color signal Computers: SVGA – D connector – the old style common monitor connector (analog) Mac Video – various proprietary connectors but basically the same (analog) Now comes the convergence of TV’s and Computer Interfacing: DVI - Digital Video Interface – Video only used by computers and TV’s HDMI – Same as DVI plus more signals for things like audio and remote control. Used mainly on new TV’s. |

DVI and HDMI
DVI and HDMI are electrically identical, so adapter cables are easy and cheap to make. An HDMI cable is nothing more than a digital DVI cable with a differently-shaped connector and extra pins for audio.
