new monitor or old one

[part2wanksta]

well; i still have my ctx 540 monitor but i cant get it to display correctly.

one guy said that the vga box from http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-86-77-2-15-vga-70-4s4.html

would work. he said other boxes had frequency problems.


i recently won this monitor http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5182096822&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1

so should i spend the 50 dollars on the vga box for the monitor or should i just purchase the other monitor.

the ctx is 640 x 480 and the other one is 1024 x 768

but i dont know if there will be any ffc issues

eBay, there's a bunch of 400W 6500K T-15 bulbs right now, looks like some Chinese-made stuff, runs about $40 shipped.

Hmm, that 12" monitor has a different monitor connection, and comes with some crappy video card. I think you should see if you can find a pinout, and convert the jack to VGA ( It could be possible...)

 

[part2wanksta]

well he says the monitor is 1024 x 768 so that is good enough for me.

it looks like the pci card is good enough

will a 6500k bulb produce a good image

a good question to ask, is it 256 colors or 16.7 million colors at that resolution?

sorry about that ace.

i just emailed the guy and asked him if the monitor does 16 bit at 1024 x 768

i have never seen a pci video card that powers on the monitor.


hey is pin 15 on a vga cable important. that may be the reson my monitor isnt working

 

[justme]

I was going to tell you that a lot of cables don't use several pins but thought I should check it out first. You know more about your monitor than I do so why not check out this video connection page.
