Refresh rate problem...G400MAX and Diamondtron monitors

[Jim2k]

Any having refresh rate problems using G400 MAX with Diamondtron monitors? On my system, I can't set the refresh rate above 60Hz. For some reason Screen "shakes". Had a older Diamondtron monitor but had the same problems.

If anyone is using a Sony Trintron ot Mitsubishi Diamondtron, let me know how it's working for you.

I like to set my refresh at 85Hz... it's easier on the eyes.

Used Powerstrip, Matrox Power desk, and Windows display settings..... nothing seem to be working.

I am currently have:
Princeton C20001 (MAX RES 1600X1200 at 85Hx)
P III 450
Abit BE6

HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

nope ... I use an Eye-Q 777 that has a Diamondtron tube ...

Everything perfect up to 2048x1536x32bpp@66Hz

Your problem has exactly nothing to the type of your picture tube. It's all in electronics. Try to check the cables, move the monitor away from power supplies/ transformers/ speakers/ motors etc.

Make sure that your monitor and PC are grounded identically. Get a surge protector strip and plug the monitor and PC into neighboring plugs.

I've had this problem before. It only affected my Mil I & any non-Matrox cards. With Mil II & G200 it did not have this problem, even though I knew that the ground was different.

This is somewhat off th e topic, but I can't even choose 85 Hz in Powerdesk, it stops at 75 Mz ???? If im not mistaken I could choose 85 before I reinstalled windows 98SE for a couple of days ago?!?

I know my monitor can take it cause I ran at 85 Hz with my Rage Fury card. Whats that all about?
