Samsung 3D monitor keeps losing signal..help
Bought the samsung monitor for the 3d glasses. Now everytime I try to load a game or change the refresh rate, the screen loses signal. I've tried different dvi cords.

Crt worked fine, this is some bull****!

Can it possibly be a driver issue? Maybe (hopefully) a known issue?

Any idea's other than it's a busted POS?

Already have newegg sending an rma and bitched so much after bad shipping and now this that I have $20 off my next purchase. I'm just getting a refund if this thing is truly busted and driving to microcenter for another. This shipping back and fourth takes too long.

Try using the DVI cable that came with the monitor if you aren't already. I had the same problem until I changed to the right DVI cable.

You need to definitely use a Dual-Link DVI cable like the one provided with the monitor. If you need a longer cable, like in my case, to connect the monitor to a PC that is more far away you must go and buy a more expensive Dual-Link cable in order to use the high refresh rate. It is just that having 120 Hz refresh rate doubles the data needed to be transferred from the video card to the display and with the high native resolution it just becomes too much for the bandwidth available on a single-link DVI cable to handle.
