help

my 17' monitor is starting to flicker. So a friend let me
have his 12' color monitr dated 1992. My model was
1997 and is set at 1024/24bit color. now i disconnected
mine and plugged his in and all i get is fuzz, with some
identifiable icons but mostly fuzzy screen. Is this a
compatibility problem or a setting that i have to change?

tks

Change your settings down to bare basics to start with, 640x480 60hz or lower, 4 color. Then try 800x600. if that works, up the colors to 16, then 256 color (8bit) and then try 16bit. I would be VERY surprised if it supported that. I wouldn't even dream of a screen resolution greater than 800x600 on a 12" screen.

Once you have a screen size/color bit combo that works, go for the highest refresh rate it will support. you WANT 72hz if possible to eliminate all flicker.

Monitors that old will probably not support anything but the most basic of display modes.

Did it work? I am actually curious to just how far you could push that dinosaur :-)
