LCD Native Resolution, EDID and 59Hz issues

omg this is the exact problem im having! It made Win7 practically unusable and i had to fux with 3 different cable types to even get my resolution to fill the screen

In XP, you could manually set the rate in dxdiag, but the option is unavailable in Win7.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hello
I already postet part of the EDID informations in the following thread:
59Hz

The main issue is, that some games are at a fixed resolution of e.g. 1024x768@59Hz and are centered in the middle of the screen while everything around it is black. The reported resolution from my monitor is 1920x1200?! I can reproduce that effect with my desktop: Setting it to 1024x768@59Hz = 1920x1200 real and desktop centered. Setting it to 1024x768@60Hz (here 60Hz work fine!) = 1024x768 real and I can scale the image with my monitor osd.

But here is the complete one, if you prefer the .dat-file, you'll find it here.

Please tell me that there is a solution to this problem...

I would post my MonInfo, but I don't have my moniotr in "Display IDs", just four [Sample]s with names like ABC.

If there's no soluiton yet, I swear, I'm gonna cut myself :P.

Baarod,

I still have a problem after Win 7 stopped recognizing my Viewsonic VP950B monitor. During a reboot something happened and I would imagine that the EDID in the monitor got corrupted. (sent the monitor back for repair.

Win 7 does recognize another VP950b that I have here but now my screen is a bit fuzzy and I cannot make cleartype fonts look good. I am at the native screen resolution, etc. but it seems that something is just not as it appears.

Your post got me thinking that maybe there is a corruption in the cahed EDID info?

Any ideas?

Hi,

Slightly off topic, but it is EDID related, n u guys seem to know what your on about n i desperately want help so here goes.

Basically there is a known problem with Nvidia cards to Philips TVs.

What happens is when I connect through HDMI the TV flashes up 'no video signal' or 'unsupported video format'.I've been through allsorts like length or quality of cable, changing drivers, resolutions, refresh rates, tinkering with Nvidia control things, nothing.

Looked on here and got a resolution:

GTX280 and HDMI to DVI problems - NVIDIA Forums

HOWEVER, since upgrading drivers to windows 7 version, things have changed and its back.

The problem is the EDID of the TV as a monitor, and in older drivers there was a .inf fix to override it, but in newer drivers for Nvidia the layout on the .inf is different so this fails. I would happily keep the old driver, but it prevents my ability to play blurays which is a big part of my computer (media center).

Old layout of .inf

Hi!

First of all, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm having some Hz-problems.
Yesterday I changed my gfxcard from Radeon HD 4890 to a Radeon HD 5850 and now I'm unable to change Hz on my monitor. CCC (Catalyst control center) tells me that the maximum allowed refreshrate is 60Hz, but I've used 100Hz on this monitor when I had the 4890-card. The monitor is a CRT 19" from shg.dk. The 'name' of the monitor is "shg Computers" (k-900 according to MonInfo).
