HAND-ME-DOWN VIEWSONIC N2750W

I FIRST HOOKED IT UP TO MY PC AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO WORK BUT THE FIRST WINDOWS XP SCREEN STARTED TO TWIST UNTIL IT WAS JUST A SCREEN FULL OF COLORED LINES - UNHOOKED IT FROM THE PC AND JUST PLUGGED IN THE POWER { TO TRY A MONITOR SCREEN CALIBRATION OR WHATEVER } & THE ONLY MESSAGES I GET ARE " OUT OF RANGE " OR "OSD LOCKED" - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? THE REMOTE DID NOT COME WITH IT

Found the amswer I think - for a 27inch monitor or anything over 20 inches I think - you need a high end video card - the computers with the all in one mother board with the onboard video card wont deal with a monitor that big - as for using it as a TV the " osd locked " message I got rid of by holding down the menu button on top [ no remote ] while tapping the down channel button until the osd was unlocked - then I had the menu & starded adjusting until I had a pretty good picture - not enough adjustment with red/green but a pretty good TV for free - thanks for all your suggestions - George

Hi,

Initially, could you pls try lowering the Screen Resolution of the PC itself. In some instances you may need to likewise lower the Screen Refresh Rate of the PC. Both can be adjusted inside the Display Properties.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Hand-me-down N2750W

On screen display is locked. Fix it by:

The OSD can be enabled or disabled by pressing and holding the Menu button on the front panel for 10 seconds. If the OSD is locked, the warning message OSD Lock displays for ten seconds.

* If the OSD is locked, press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds to unlock the OSD.
* If the OSD is unlocked, press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds to lock the OSD.

I am trying to hook up my Dell inspiron 1520 to my viewsonic n2750w tv. Is there an easy way to do this?

Yes there is... You are going to need a VGA cable and an 1/8 audio cable (for sound)

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1520/en/om_en/pdf/UX8623D.pdf - On page 29 it shows a picture of the right side of your computer. You will hook the VGA cable to the VGA port (Number 8 on the diagram).
The on your tv you will hook it up to the vga port as well. Page 7 of the following document shows a pictures of the back of your tv. You will hook it up to "L" on the diagram. Be careful to not bend the pins in the connector. http://www.viewsonic.com.au/support/manuals/files/LCd%20TV/N2750w%20User%20Guide%20English.pdf
Switch your tv over to the PC input by clicking the "Input" button. Then make sure your PC is sending a signal, you might have to hit the function key to switch the view.

I do not have my remote for my viewsonic N2750w. And i cannot find a universal remote that works. Can you tell me one that will work?

Hi,

You could order a substitute remote ( as original is not available any longer ) from :-

http://remotes.com/store/viewsonic/n2750w.html

If you want to buy universal remote, be advised that for Viewsonic it would not be too successful and moreover, the one which is compatible ( Harmony ) would be expensive.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Have just hooked up my Viewsonic VA720 moniter as the main moniter to a new laptop that I have. The laptop is an ACER Travelmate 6293 running windows XP. When I come to start up my computer each morning...

You most likely have a capacitor that has changed value. When a capacitor goes bad it will work after it heats up. Sometimes a bad cap will have a bulging top or show signs of leakage. Sometimes can only be checked with a meter.

I was trying to hook up my laptop (Dell Inspiron 2200)(windows xp) to my television. I managed to get the laptop to go to the tv screen, but when computer rebooted, I got a black screen and cannot get rid...

use the F8 button before windows starts. as the laptop show the manufacturer's screen. keep tapping it gently and fast until you get froted with the bootup options screen. Select whichever option reads the word "VGA" in it. Then it will boot into windows. Enter the multiple screen setup (could be hard given that screen could show all icons and windows big) and select proper settings. Restart the PC and ensure the options remain active.

When i hookup dvd 2 dvi i get pic but no sound

I think I know what the problem is. I have the same tv and been going through the same thing. Looking in the manual it says you need to get sound through the pc audio its the green audio jack. you have to get a female Y analog to pc cable. I saw one on ebay for $2. My problem is I've also got my computer hooked up.
