1907FP Questions
Hi,
I just recently received my Dimension E510 desktop with the 1907FP flat panel monitor.
I had a problem with it in that it did not appear to work with either the digital or analog cables supplied. This was eventually resolved by tech support however after connecting the analog cable to the other analog port on the back of the tower (one that had a plastic protective cover over it). I was then able to connect the monitor to the analog port on the video card although I needed to change the resolution to be able to use the digital cable.
I am now using the digital cable but what is the maximum resolution/refresh rate that will work? Also, what is the maximum refresh rate for a resolution of 1280 x 1024.
I would rather not mess around too much if I am going to have further problems.
Secondly, the power cord does not seem to fit very well in the socket on the monitor. I used the power cable that came with the monitor but it really seems like a case of very bad design. When mentioning this to tech support, they suggested using the power cord that came with the computer and using the monitor power cable for the computer. Is this OK to do?
Thanks in advance.

60 or 75 hz can be set for that monitor.

My power cable for the system is heavy duty as opposed to the monitor power cable. Not too much up on this, but I would stick with the power cable that the monitor came with and make sure you push in firmly

Regarding the resolution, I did actually thoroughly read the documentation before posting but just wanted to check as I was told the max was 60hz at 1,280 x 1,024 which just seemed a little odd.
As for the power cable, it is pushed in as firmly as possible although it does wobble. Still, I'll persevere with it knowing that the monitor is under warranty.

CRT’s are scalable, and you can raise or lower the resolution settings. LCD’s however, are different. Any settings lower than the native resolution results in either letterboxing, which maintains image quality by shrinking the image to a compatible size. Or keeps the full screen image, but adjusts for missing pixels, sacrificing image quality.
Screen flicker with an LCD is not an issue since the monitor does not refresh like a CRT monitor, so a refresh rate of 60 Hz should be just fine.
ClearType settings : Right click an empty space on the desktop, click on Properties next, click on Appearance, than click Effects. In this box, select ClearType instead of STANDARD. Click OK than OK again in the final box. Done
