What are common monitor problems and causes?

An old joke from the early 1990s is in order...

A customer called the computer company, complaining that the monitor never turns on so he only gets a black screen. After some questions that identified the customer used a desktop model, with separate PC, Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse, the technician asked a simple question: There is a button on the right hand corner that is the same color as the plastic frame used around the monitor. Did you push that button in? (e.g. Did you turn it on?)

A common problem with laptop monitors is the tiny wire for WiFi, located at the hinge area. The wires there can become crimped, or even damaged. Some common issues may be unexplained loss of WiFi (while WiFi shows a strong signal, but poor reception); graphics errors such as lines on the screen; sudden black screen without interruption of the computer itself. If you carefully close and reopen the PC, the monitor's problem often disappears. Since this is a structural problem, it may cost more than it is worth to fix it, especially on an older laptop.

How do you get rid this message that pops up on your computer screen with almost every mouse click -Documents has encountered a problem and needs to close -Please tell Microsoft about this problem?

My colleague just asked me the same but for him the error message appears whenever he loads a new page in Internet Explorer. I tried searching for the answer and it seems like some people have the same problem but that no one seems to be able to identify the course. There is a detailed erroro message that informs that the error occurred in the module "documents". However the word "documents" is a little too general to understand what it really is. Apparently the computer in question has been scanned for viruses so that is at least not the obvious answer. What is this module "documents"?

Can you connect both DVI and D-sub cables to the same monitor?

By D-sub, it is safe to assume that it will be a VGA connector on a high density 15 pin D connector.

DVI is normally a digital video signal although it can also carry analog VGA signals as well. Some monitors and projectors will be able to accept both signals as two separate inputs, others may only accept digital DVI connections.

For those that accept analog on the DVI, they may also have a dedicated VGA connector as well. Better monitors will treat that as a separate input to DVI analog so the input selection should offer three separate inputs in that case. Some monitors may only have a single VGA input which may be fed from the DVI analog links and the VGA input at the same time. If this is the case. the DVI input should only be a digital feed if the VGA connector is in use.

The best advice is to check the monitor's user manual and see exactly how the inputs are arranged. If it's not clear, talk to the dealer or the manufacturer. Because all monitors and projectors are designed a little differently to others, it is impossible to offer a definitive answer here.

How to set up a new widescreen LCD monitor with an old HP Pavilion XE783 desktop to get the correct aspect ratio that is to avoid horizontal stretching of the images?

Search for the monitor's model number on Google and find out it's aspect ratio. Then write click on your desktop and go to Properties. Go to the Settings tab and adjust the screen resolution slider to any resolution where the ratio of the first number to the second is equal to your monitor's aspect ratio.

Or just try trial and error to find the best resolution.

Is there such thing as a screen that doubles up as a TV screen and a computer monitor?

Both Sony and Toshiba make combo TV/monitor systems. Other manufacturers such as Vizio probably do as well. Check TigerDirect. Also a Dynex flatscreen can be a TV/monitor system.

How to check LCD panel type?

Unless it is listed somewhere online, you basically have to take the set apart to get the model/part number from the panel and then Google search that to get a datasheet.

For instance my Vizio M260MV and the identical E260MV both use the Chi Mei Innolux V260H1-LE2 panel, which is a 1920x1080 TN type panel with a 6P13S white LED edge light system.

Panels are not universal, they must be matched to the controller. There is single and dual channel LVDS, 6 bit vs 8 bit, older uses TTL, they are resolution specific, and voltage specific (3.3, 5, ad 12 volts), Etc.

Type of monitors?

There are:

CRT monitors (those fat monitors)

and

LCD monitors (flat screens)

Can you replace a broken TV with a CRT computer monitor?

Not really: a TV has a different setup:

- it has a RF tuner, to bring the selected TV channel down from RF (radio frequency)

- It works with 60 times per second (for US) or 50 times per second (Europe) a new half-image (called interleafing) with the 2nd time the 2nd half.

While your monitor normally works with 60...100 total images per second, every time a whole picture.

Not in the last place also electrical interfacing is a problem: your DVD or VCR has Scart or RGB or HDMI connections. Most monitors only have VGA of DVI.

There are however convertors for this: one side Scart in and other side VGA of DVI. The only thing: these boxes are almost the same price as a second hand TV set.

With kind regards,
