FP2001 20' LCD Monitor: Picture is messed up using DVI input... PLEASE HELP!

Question

Hey guys, my dell fp20001 LCD just arrived. For some reason, when i plug it in with the DVI cable into the DVI connection on my video card, it gives me a real messed up picture. It's jittery, there's lines running across it, it's blurry and everything. It works fine on the analog 15 pin connection to the analog connection on my video card though. I tried adjusting the resolution to it's native resolution (1600x1200) and that didn't help. I tried downing the refresh rate to 60 hz. I tried adjusting the color bits to 16 bit. Nothing helped. Anyone have any ideas? (i have a radeon 9800 video card btw). And i'm using the DVI-D connection. Here's a picture of what the picture looks like on my monitor btw: http://img41.exs.cx/img41/3377/IMG_00421.jpg Thanks.

If you haven't already it won't hurt to reinstall your video adapter or integrated driver. That may address to the problem. Message Edited by tomintx on 10-23-2004 12:03 PM

See if you can try the DVI input using a different PC, or try a different cable. Could be a driver issue, too, go to www.ati.com for the newest.
