[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] My VGA Monitor

cyang%peruvian.utah.edu@cs.utah.edu (Cheng Yang) (01/04/91)

I have a 14" analog color monitor which is able to have 1024x768 graphics and
I have some problem with that.  Usually when I boot up my system or change
display mode from graphic mode to text mode, the display of that monitor 
will be unstable for 10-20 seconds. The charactors displayed will be waving/
vibrating a little bit.  The computer dealer said that that situation is
normal, since that monitor was trying to lock its SCANNING FREQUENCY at that
time.  I am wondering why it took such a long time to lock.  Because the 
monitor is still in warranty time, I want to know if I was cheated by the
dealer.  I would appreciate if you could help me.

Thank you very much.

Your dealer is lying to you or is very incompetent. The lock time should
be less than a second. Your monitor is defective.
