How to use soyo tv as computer monitor - Soyo Televison & Video

It should be plug and play in MS Windows at least. Cnet claims to have some here

You have dead pixels, rebooting will not help.

You need to set it to the native resolution of this monitor, see your owner manual.

Hi there,

I've spent a bit of time researching this problem for you and have come up with the following, hope it helps.

SOYO has quoted "All SOYO monitors are Plug and Play monitors. They do not require drivers to work". Recently SOYO went bankrupt so their website is now unavailable for any form of support.

What i would recommend to you would be to temporarily connect a CRT monitor (one of those big bulky monitors) to your computer, as these have a larger resolution and refresh rate capability.
Once you can see Windows 7, change the display settings to the minimum settings for your monitor (as a safe bet i'd set them to 800x600, 60Hz until you connect the LCD). Then connect your flat panel monitor again and set the display settings to an optimal level for you.

Again, i very much doubt that you will need a driver for this brand of monitor, and will be hard pressed to find one.

All the best, and i wish you luck :)

Your soyo monitor doesn't require a driver. Make sure you download and install the latest driver for your video card and during the install of that, your monitor should have its drivers installed as well. At that point you'll be able to use your monitor properly. There isn't any drivers available on the net that I could find. Only other option is if your monitor came with a cd, that might have drivers on it.

Hi,

try to reinstall the video card driver and see if that works

either press the - button or unplug and pkug to reset it

you will need a card for your tv which is quite impossible for the average jo to fit in as has to go on the inside to allow you to use VGA? really sorry but nothing governing wether tv makers tell you about it or not?

What size monitor were you using before? If you were using a smaller monitor and everything was fine maybe this new monitor is out of range for the graphics card. I've found that not all graphics cards, especially older ones, will not run a monitor as large as 24 inches. If you can, connect this new 24 inch monitor to a computer with a more powerful graphics card. If it works then you will know that the problem is with your computer. Also connect your old monitor and go into control panel and see what range and resolution your graphics card will support. You may need a more powerful card to run the new monitor.

your monitor doesnt have drivers for it.. and doesnt need drivers for that matter. It sounds like you dont have the right drivers installed for your graphics card. here is a link to the drivers you need.
