I am connecting an older View Sonic Monitor to a vintage 97-99 Mac. The Mac was previously operating with a View Sonic monitor, but I don't know what model
My monitor gives a message in a box as follows:
OUT OF RANGE
H: 30-62 KHz
V: 50-75 Hz
What does this mean and/or how can I fix it? Thanks, Flygirl
Out of range happens when the video output of the computer is set to something the monitor cannot display. Like trying to talk to someone that does not understand your language. Just because the previous monitor was the same brand does not imply it will handle the same input. Either buy a different monitor or borrow one till you get one that works, then change the video output to something your new monitor recognizes. I have this problem at church - if I change the video output to a real high resolution the main big monitor will display it but the smaller one will say "out of range"

1. maybe the problem is with windows, because the refresh rate is set to an acceptable value
2. your lcd screen runs at higher hz than 60
3. you are running a resolution higher than 1024x768 15" LCD's generally can only support 1024x768 whereas larger panels support higher resolutions.
Possible solutions
1. The LCD you buy is shipped with a plastic cover over the screen which shows maximum resolution and recommended refresh rate. When you first turn on your computer press F8 to access safe mode, after you enter safe mode, configured the required setting on your lcd monitor. when you are done, reboot or restart your computer, hopefully your computer should be fine.
2. attempt to access the bios setup utility by pressing del or f2 of your keyboard after you see the initial display of your pc, if you can see it, the problem is with windows because the refresh rate is set to an acceptable value. Set it to its required settings by entering safe mode as posted on no.1

get the monitor that you used previously, and on the Windows desktop, go to display properties, in settings> advanced, under the monitor tab, change the refresh rate to 60, which is common on these flat panels.
