P3 - SVGA Monitor Compatibility Suggestions
Locked
 
|
I just purchased a new Samsung 23.6” LED HD Monitor for my P3. Unfortunately I get the two black bars on each side of the screen when I set the resolution to 1920 X 1080 (1920 x 1080 alt fills the screen but clips the image on all four sides). I had read somewhere that the black bars indicated that there was a compatibility issue with the monitor frequency and the P3 SVGA. If I change the resolution to 1440 x 900 it fills the screen, but clips the data on the bottom and the text is too big (I adjusted the text size as small as available).
Can anyone suggest a compatible monitor or brand of monitors? I like the Samsung, but I would prefer a monitor that can utilize the entire screen. Thanks. 73, Marty - K1MTK ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

You should be able to adjust the monitor settings to fully fill the screen. It's common and typical to tweak the monitor settings for full screen viewing. If the video card were incompatible the image would be unusable and appear scrambled or not appear at all.

I use a AVerMedia C126 Capture card so I can put it in a windows and display it on my existing monitors.

Thank you for your responses.
I ended up returning the Samsung and got an ASUS. Issue resolved. The ASUS handles the P3 output in all resolutions with no issues. I could not adjust the screen size with the Samsung, only the centering of the image. Extra benefit - the ASUS ended up being $50 cheaper and I like the control menus a bit better as well. 73, Marty - K1MTK On Sep 1, 2015, at 10:49 AM, Marty <[hidden email]> wrote: I just purchased a new Samsung 23.6” LED HD Monitor for my P3.

Hi Gary,
I purchased the ASUS 23” LED, ModelVX238H, from MicroCenter. Net price was $139.99 after $20 instant rebate and $20 mail-in rebate. It has both VGA and (2) HDMI ports so I can attach to my iMac as well, if I care to use as an extra, extended screen. 73, Marty - K1MTK On Sep 1, 2015, at 3:39 PM, Gary K9GS <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi Marty Which model Asus did you get? 73 Gary K9GS -------- Original message -------- From: Marty <[hidden email]> Date: 09/01/2015 1:27 PM (GMT-06:00) To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 - SVGA Monitor Compatibility Suggestions Thank you for your responses.

I’m another happy ASUS user. I’ve got the VN247, 23” model; VGA and two HDMI ports. One HDMI goes to my iMac and the other runs over to a Raspberry Pi micro processor. I like having dual monitors on the Mac, as it allows me the real estate to have WSJT-X, JT Bridge, and MacLoggerDX all up and visible at the same time. I would imagine this unit would work equally well with the P3 connected to it, as it is quite modifiable. I vaguely remember paying about $135 for it at a local Office Depot.
