1920x1200 on L2335 via Single Link DVI
Sorry for crossposting, I couldn't find a general videocard group...
I need to drive a HP LP2335 via a Single Link DVI cable on 1920x1200, preferrably on 60Hz (I need the 1920x1200 more than the 60Hz). This only seems to be possible when using the "reduced blanking" feature. There is no need for fancy video-card with quick 3D stuff. No multimedia home theater stuff. Just need for a large screen area of pixels to show a very big window. Which low budget videocards are capable of doing 1920x1200@60Hz over Single Link DVI where the video driver has the reduced blanking feature? Ray |

Which low budget videocards are capable of doing 1920x1200@60Hz over Single Link DVI where the video driver has the reduced blanking feature? I've done some research into this myself in the past, and a bit of googling will learn that at least the nVidia cards of the GeForce4 and up series, as well as Radeon 7500 and 8500 and up have TDMS frequency that supports 1920x1200 at 60hz. You may need to turn the feature on in the drivers using the advanced display properties, such as alternate frequency or refuced blanking interval, but it's there. My GeForce4 Ti4200 worked just fine at 1920x1200x60hz through DVI-D. As for older cards, it might work, try at your own risk. Matrox I don't know. Matrox's site doesn't say, only that the Parhelia does support it, but I'd hardly call that a low budget card. If I were you, I'd pick up a GeForce4 Ti4200 or a Radeon 8500, should work without a hitch and not be too expensive. BTW, the only dual link capable DVI cards I know of are the top of the range QUADRO cards. (For those that don't know - dual link DVI is not equal to dual DVI output, so don't respond saying you know of GeForce or Radeon cards with two DVI ports. There are lots of dual dvi GeForce and Radeon cards out there, but none with dual link DVI.) |

I'm using a BFG Nvidia GeForce FX 5900XT OC
Core Clock 430Mhz (vs 390Mhz standard) Mem Clock 735Mhz Effective Drivers 66.93 to drive my HP L2335 23" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor It is a good card. Plenty of power for the games I play. I play MS Flight Sim 2004 COF mostly but I also play Uru: Complete Chronicles as well. I use 1920x1200 for my default desktop resolution, but for MSFS I use 1200x960 and I get framerates in the 30s with all the goodies turned on. Quiet too. Overall the best value card I could find when I bought it. Though I kind of wish I'd waited for the agp version of the 6600 to come out. I saw one the other day at new egg but I'd wait until the price came down and bfg offered an agp version. I must say I absolutely love this monitor. My computer uses the digital dvi connector. I use the s-vid input for my bedroom dvd player and the composite input for my wife's GameCube. It rocks. the rest of my system: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 939 90nm Winchester 1.8Ghz oc'd to 2.6Ghz ThermalTake Silent Tower CL-P0025 MSI K8N Neo 2 Plat Model 7025 Bios 1.41 (beta) OCZ Perf Series PC3500 DDR 433 512MB at 237Mhz 3-4-4-10 x 2 (dual channel) Lian Li Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Case PC-V1000 MGE Vigor 500 PSVG-500 500w Power Supply Maxtor 160GB 7200RPM 8MG IDE ATA133 6Y160P0 x 2 (Raid - 0) LG Electronics GCC-4521BB 52x32x52x16 Combo Drive WinXP Pro DX 9.0c Roy "Ray" wrote in message om...

So, my boss just announce that he is getting me an HP L2335 monitor
(Yes!!!! I have a great boss!) Unfortunately, I only have a G550. Does it stand any hope of driving this display at full resolution at 60Hz. I guess I am asking if one can reduce blanking on it.....or has anyone ever done this with a G550?
