That is pretty close to saying it is a hardware problem. As others have said, hi-res DVI is a suck-it-and-see; basically the DVI spec doesn't go above 1280x1024, so manufacturers have a harder target supporting anything higher. I have a Matrox G550 driving an iiyama flat screen at 1600x1200 with DVI-D, even though the card is only supported upto 1280x1024. The picture is good, but there is some shadowing. The analog-to-digital on good quality flat screens has improved a lot over the years. Can you get an acceptable picture using the analog signal on the DVI port (you may need a DVI-A cable instead of the DVI-D cable you are probably using) ? It is sad, but analog signals may outlast DVI-D :-( -- Dr. Andrew C.
