Hi All, The other day, I burnt up a third KDS Avitron AV-195TF monitor in 18 months on my highly modified Beige G3 DT running OS 9.2.2. This time the monitor went all yellow.
I have the monitor connected to an ATI Nexus 128 32mb video card, running 1024x768@120hz, which is a "recommended" resolution in the monitors control panel. A friend of mine told me that it was quite likely that the high refresh rate "used up" (in his words) the monitor. I noticed in the control strip that there is another option; 1024x768@85hz. I just looked at the monitor's page on the KDS web site here: <http://www.kdsusa.com/product_detail.asp?prod=168> They have a max resolution of 1600x1200@85hz, and an optimal resolution of 1280x1024@85hz. I'm too blind to see at either of those choices, so I set the monitor to 1024x768. I would gather though, that refresh rates higher than 85hz are past the capabilities of this monitor. I backed the refresh rate back down to 85hz, but it is too late for this monitor, I'm afraid. Did I fry it by running at 120hz? Or are KDS monitors total junk? Or both? TIA for any advice. (Kyle?)
