My mistake ( actually my dad , cause he said it was a 128 but its a 32 i presume) , but i already fixed it ,
I tried a thousand resolutions and i found the right one...
thx anyway folks

[Maggi]

looks like I have to emphasize it a little more

usually you could use any resolution and not only a specific one ...

[Delta-L]

Not on this TV
it had something to do with the hertz , the people of loewe said it only worked on 800x600@90hz
"multimediaTV" they call it
My crappy tomson can even handle 1024x786

then it looks as if you are not using the TV breakout cable from Matrox, but rather a direct VGA connection, right ?


so to rephrase it once more, you can use any resolution on any TV, as long as you use the TV connector that is provided by Matrox ...

Hmm , it is idd connected trough vga cable , and i think it came with the TV , so isn't that cable good enough?

[Maggi]

it is good enough for a VGA connection, but obviously you are crippling your possibilities and the capabilities of your G550.

try this:

- hookup your VGA Monitor via that DVI-2-VGA dongle from Matrox
- hookup your VGA-2-TV connector to that VGA plug on the G550
- connect your TV using either composite or s-video cables

Then you can use any resolution for feeding your TV.

BENQ DV3070 + ATi Radeon 9500 ... it sucks!
Cannot find a way to reach 1280x768 native resolution with ATi driver because the DDC2 reports 1024x768 75Hz...

BENQ DV3070 + G550 DVI ... Perfect !
Just need to Override the DDC2 information and set the monitor spec to run at 1280x768 56Hz ...
