This machine is one I built recently.  I want to use the two video ports to run two monitors.  The problem it is having is when both the DP port and the HDMI port are connected to monitors, it hangs at the initial boot screen, the one that comes up like 2 seconds after I press the boot button and has all the F key descriptions at the bottom of the screen.  If I unplug the HDMI cable and press the boot button, boots fine.  If I reconnect the HDMI cable and "Restart:", it boots fine and runs both monitors fine.  It is only when booting from a shut down with both the DP port and HDMI port connected to monitors that it hangs at the F key screen.

I have been using a HDMI to DVI adapter to DVI cable to run the 2nd monitor.  It is this cable that when I unplug it, the machine boots fine.

Alternatively, when I unplug the DP port cable and leave the HDMI to DVI connected, it will boot fine.

And another alternative, when I boot it with one cable plugged in and then wait until it gets past the F key screen, the plug in the 2nd cable, it boots fine and both monitors display.

What can I look at to resolve this issue?

One more thing I tried and this may be a whole other issue, I bought a HDMI to DP cable and tried running from the HDMI port on mobo to the DP port on the monitor, but get no signal.  Wonder if that is just a function of the HDMI cable from mobo port won't run the DP port on the …

Windows 10 build 1803: monitor detected wrong

I got a laptop (Dell Latitude 5580) connected to a docking station (USB C). It has 2 monitors connected. A Dell 19 inch (1280x1024) and as primary a HD dell monitor (1920x1080).

All well, but now I replace the old 19 inch to a dell HD (also 1920x1080) monitor.
Windows "sees" the old 19" model, and refuses to detect the nw monitor. Even by restarting (obvious), removing the drivers from device manager, all done, I can't set the resolution higher than 1280x1024, making the new monitor blurry.

Tried a lot of things but no avail. Tried to put the monitor on the laptop itself over VGA and this seems to go well. Putting it back to the docking makes windows detect it as the old monitor. Is there a wat to realy force Windows to use the native (higher) resolution?

Display Drivers are updates, and I tried to manualy put the monitor te a generic HD monitor.  The displaycard id an integrated Intel HD620.

Is it ok to use a vga to HDMI adapter to connect a spare smart TV that I have to a mini server?  Heard the quality is not good as it is a analog to digital conversion but not sure if this will damage the smart tv.  I use the smart TV for a trade show and when not in use, I'd to use to as an external monitor (so that I can put it in use).  It is at least 42 inch.

Hello All;

OK, a few weeks ago my son called me while I was working and informed me that he had placed his drink on my desk, and my granddaughter hit it causing it to spill all over my laptop.
I took the system completely apart and cleaned it with alcohol, and allowed it to dry for the weekend, before re-assembly and turning it back on.
Everything is working great, except I have to replace the keyboard, and am just waiting for the slow plane from China to arrive, to get it in.
This question deals with the monitor.
I have dual monitors connected to this laptop and the external monitor is fine, so this is not a graphics card issue, but a monitor issue.

Do I need to replace the entire monitor? (Do not see this as the answer)
Do I just need to replace the LCD screen? (This is what I am hoping)

Attached is a video of the flicking of the monitor.
Please let me know what my next step should be.

Thanks all.
Wayne

Having purchased Affinity Photo, Publisher and Designer, quite by accident I pressed and held down a. control an on-screen display of most functions.

This same as hovering over a control. e.g. View Tools [H], but for most - if not all - controls for the current.

How did I do this?

This a most valuable function!

I have windows 64-bit Pro desktop.

How to view and take screenshot of 'About' screen so entire 'About' page fits on the screen?

I have a legacy application that doesn't optimize for a resolution above 1024X768. As most of you know these days new computers and monitors want much higher resolutions. Does anyone know how to make a new computer and widescreen monitor work \ scale to full screen with a 1024X768 resolution?

Thanks

With 1000s to choose from anyone any favs and tips ?

Hello and Good Morning Everyone,

          I am wondering if there are projectors which can project an image from a USB flash drive.  In concept, it would be similar to taking an image on a transparency but instead taking it from the USB flash drive and projecting it onto the wall.  The projector would also need to have controls for shrinking and enhancing the images and well as controls for clarity of the image.   Additionally, it would be nice to have a internal rechargeable battery which will hold at least 2 hours or more of charge.  

          If what I have just described is available on the market, could someone provide a online purchase link?  If it is not too expensive, I would like to purchase one.  I have an art and painting project which can be made much easier and with greater precision if I have a digital style projector.

           Thanks in advance for any feedback given to this question.

Sony Projector model VPL-PHZ10 displays a blank screen at times. It works fine with some laptops, and displays a blank page with other laptops. The 15.5" Dells seem to work OK, But smaller Dells and other brands may work OK one day, and display a blank page later the same day or the next day. These aren't obsolete laptops - they're all i5 or better usually no more than 3 years old.  We've tried both a 25' HDMI and a 10" HDMI, both Blue Rigger brand. We have no problem when we use an Airtame Wireless HDMI plugged into the same HDMI ports of the projector. I have a call into Sony Professional Support, but they say 1-2 days for a return call. I see no firmware available for download on their website, although it's possible I'm looking in the wrong place. Any suggestions that might help us keep the connection stable would be very much appreciated.
