I have just bought a used Dell Ultrasharp 3007 30 inch monitor, I connected it to a G5 quadcore MAC computer with an NVIDIA 6600 video card, I have two DVI video ports, on one port the display can only be set on a maximum resolution of 1080X800, while when inserted on the other DVI port the display selector can show the various resolution options up to 2560 x 1600, but when any hiigher resolution than 1080X800 is selected the display turns pink with vertical stripes. I tried to connect it to my Mac laptop which has a hi res of 1920X1200 and the same thing happens to the Dell display, turns pink and with stripes and nothing on the display is visible. What could the problem be? Thanks

The montor does not have that resalution

  • Anonymous Apr 25, 2019

    2 years late again are you on a roll?

    2560 x 1600 at 60 H
    that is what the monitor can do.
    Dell™ 3007WFP-HC Flat Panel Monitor

    what MAC can do is the problem. here.
    NVIDIA 6600 video card
    that is not complete model number
    but the drivers from Nvidia.com only work here.
    if not loaded correctly the PC mac will use
    lower resolutions until you learn to load
    said drivers.

    same answer on PC as Mac
    drivers.
    NO MAC OS stated, so that is a problem on the G5/
    OSX? that?
    looks like that card is NOT Supported in the MAC. so you bought the wrong card.
    but here is where to ask.... for SURE

SOURCE: Dell 2407WFP Monitor losing signal and having colored line artifacts

To your problem number 1:

I would check to see what the refresh rate is on your main monitor. Especially after waking the monitor from sleep, Windows tend to forget the refresh rate settings on secondary monitor and set it to the same as your main monitor. If your main monitor is set at 75hz or something, it could cause the secondary monitor to display the "out of range" message. When you reset the "extend my desktop to this monitor" setting, it probably resets the refresh rate to 60hz again.

This can sometime be remedied by checking to see if the monitor drivers are installed correctly. A lot of times the video card driver also gets in the way. I've had a lot of experiences with ATI drivers behaving very sporadically with multi-monitor setups, where they will consistently change to "plug-n-play monitor" and thus reverting any custom setting I have.

As to your problem #2:

I've had a fair bit of experience with this as well. The fact that the line shows the same way regardless of the monitor's own tilting orientation, means the error is probably coming from the video card signal rather than the LCD panel itself. This usually is a foresight of a nVidia card that's about to break.

I've went through many, many nVidia video cards over the years. They all inevitably break over time, probably because nVidia relies strictly on third party vendors... and to stay price competitive the third party vendors cut corners wherever they can. I always get the same horizontal line error over time as you described here.

The only way to know for sure, is to get a replacement video card, borrow one from a friend if you can, and see if the same problem still comes up. It's very possible for this to show up on only one of your two monitors. Try switching the monitor output as well, to see if the line now shows up on the other monitor instead.

Display not working G5

If its a PowerPC G5, Then first check display with another computer or you can connect another screen to your G5 Mac if you have a dvi port on the video card. It's most probably either the monitor or video card. Sometimes it might be defective ram.
Thanks.

Connect your monitor to a different desktop or laptop, to see if the problem "moves" with the monitor.

Connect a different monitor to your computer, to see if the computer's video-card is causing the problem.

Yellow line

It sounds like a hardware problem ,if it still has warranty then you should return it.
It could also be a faulty vga card the only way to test would be to connect monitor to another computer.

Good Luck

Blank screen

Hi,
Disconnect the monitor , from the computer, switch the monitor on , if you have some kind of Dell self test box running on the screen. The monitor is OK . The problem can be with the video card or resolution settings.

Also, try connectin the old monitor you had hooked up with the system to check ,if you see anything

Thanks

Lack of contrast and faded text

The Ultrasharp monitors need a good video card to drive the quality that you have come to know. The emachines lack the memory and quality to drive the monitor. If you don't have a 16meg video card with DVI, you will only get the basic analog qualities of the monitor. I have the same problem at work some of our older machines that have onboard graphics cards that are mediocre. However, when you plug the Ultrasharps into an NVIDIA 32meg card, the resolution is beautiful. I suspect that this is your problem.
