Monitors that will and won't run at 5040x1050 @ 57hz

Admin Update 19-Nov-09:
I am working to overhaul the Master Monitor List. Going to stop doing the individual monitor pages, and expand the info on the list itself. I have added a column for 57Hz support. You can see it by clicking on the "Monitors" link in the left nav.

KNOWN WORKING AND NOT WORKING MONITOR LIST FOR 5040x1050 @ 57HZ

HUGE thanks to allanstrings for starting this idea. You can find his original message/idea in the third post down.

When you are 100% sure one way or another please post in this format ...

Original Message from allanstrings ...

I recently upgraded my multi-monitor setup to include a DTH2G, and I love it, but one of my monitors cannot handle the 57hz refresh apparently. I have 2 Chimei CMV-221D 22" TN displays that work great, never had a bit of trouble from them and they run at just about any refresh i have tossed at them, and I have an Asus VW223T 22" that works very well at 60hz, but cannot handle anything else, despite the manufacturer's data saying it will do 56-75hz. When running at 57hz, it has terrible ghosting that is visible for over 5 seconds on bright colors, and the backlight flickers rapidly sometimes. I have never seen these problems when it was running standalone.

I am going to move the Asus to the far right of my setup and use it for a TV/console display, and get another monitor for my center spot... however I haven't been able to get another matching Chimei (Newegg doesn't stock them anymore, and Ebay scares me for a monitor). With the Asus' specs claiming it can handle 57hz, and clearly unable to, I am worried about purchasing another monitor blindly. Can anyone vouch for a 22" that is confirmed working at this refresh?

We should start a list of known working and non-working models to help out those who are system building so they can avoid this pitfall...

Post by **scavvenjahh** » 10 Sep 2008, 11:17

The "known working" list is a MUST, thanks for that :)
Hopefully I'll be able to add the ViewSonic VX1940w (19" but 1680x1050) to it soon... *crossing fingers and counting days before the mailman's coming*

I can confirm that my VW198T would boot into Windows fine. Except that two of them were DOA, so only the left most showed. I could swap cables and pick up the 2nd and 3rd images for verification. Assuming it's 57Hz on the windows desktop, that one was good.

I believe the Samsung SM-2253LW will work, I set 1680x1050@57Hz and dualhead [email protected] I believe my 9800GT drivers are stopping me from confirming 3x1680x1050.

I will then update the 3rd post.

Ibrin is that 100% confirmation ?
Mud ... I would need 100% confirmation from you too.

Thanks guys.

I can 100% confirm that they worked.

Paddy, I've ordered a 280 so will hopefully confirm on Monday. In the meantime feel free to prune my posts.

No worries ... just confirm when you can ... 8)

Thanks Paddy for the sticky and the updates, glad to see everyone contributing... i wish this list was around when i started this project :P

I'll be getting the 3rd Chimei tomorrow most likely and will post how it works out.

Probable problem model

DELL E228WFP

Reason - Only supports 1680 x 1059 at 60 Hz.

The "Probable" is because I can't guarantee it's the issue, but I think I've addressed everything else.

... Reason - Only supports 1680 x 1059 at 60 Hz. ...

Surely that is a typo and you mean 1680x1050 ... ?

minus_273c · Post by **minus_273c** » 13 Sep 2008, 11:52

Ah. Well spotted that man! I do mean 1680x1050.

Thanks,

CJ

minus_273c · Post by **minus_273c** » 13 Sep 2008, 11:59

Silly question, but does anyone have any comparison data, or opinions, on the 22" monitors that work? Since it looks like I'll have to buy replacements for my DELL E228WFPs, I'd be grateful for any advice.

Thanks,

CJ

minus_273c · Post by **minus_273c** » 14 Sep 2008, 09:02

Is checking whether or not your monitor will run at 57Hz as simple as -

A. Seeing if you can select 57Hxz in Screen-> right click-> Properties-> Settings-> Advanced-> Monitor tab-> etc and seeing if 57hz comes up, or

B. Seeing if 1680x1050 @ 57Hz comes up in the available modes in the Matrox Power desk, or

C. Both A & B

Just making a final check that I haven't missed something before buying 3 new screens.

Thanks,

CJ
