Title: Monitor DVI to HDMI issue
Post by: Dosmer on October 28, 2018, 04:47:05 AM

Hi

I have a monitor (Samsung SyncMaster P2370) which only has DVI input. When I connect it to my PC (DVI-to-DVI) I have no issues. But if I try to connect it to my laptop (DVI-to-HDMI) the left part of the image is shown on the right and vice versa, plus it's rather grainy:

I have tried two different laptops and two different DVI-to-HDMI cables, with the same result.

The DVI-to-DVI cable is single link, while the two DVI-to-HDMI cables are dual link, but as far as I've read that shouldn't matter?

Cheers

Well, that most likely means it has something to do with the monitor, and not the cables or the computers. That's pretty strange though...
