Chimei CMV 938D 'Out of range' error message only when using DVI Connector on specific resolution and color depth

I have a 19" widescreen LCD monitor capable of 1440 x 900 resolution. It has an analog (VGA) and a digital (DVI) input in it. When i first purchased it I had it connected via DVI and it displayed 1440 x 900 perfectly at color 32bit. But recently it has become out of range when on 32 bit and worked fine on 16bit. If i connect it via VGA I can view 32 bit of the same resolution fine.

For some reason the problem only occurs when with DVI 32bit 1440 x 900, otherwise all other resolutions work perfectly with 32 bit on DVI and all resolutions work perfectly with 32bit on VGA.
Suddenly, my Envision wide screen 1440x 900 resolution screen has flickering lines under every word/line etc on my screen and in the middle of the screen (from re-boot) is the message "Out of Range". I have tried changing resolution, but nothing makes it better - some choices make the flickering worse. Nothing will remove the message.

I know this sounds obvious but- I had the same problem, and turns out the cord want plugged in quite properly at the back of the monitor. This may not fix every problem, but, I suggest you check the cord pligged in at the back of the monitor is firmly in there and restart, then if you still get the problem, contact the company.

I have a Chimei 19 " monitor. I have connected it to an LG LST-4100P HD digital tuner via the VGA connections. When I power the tuner on, all I get is a message on the monitor that indicates *OUT OF...

You need to read your HD digital tuner and see if you can lower the video resolution to the maximum the monitor can handle, right now it is too high for the monitor to display. If the resolution is OK then the problem is in the monitor logic board.

I have exactly same problem

Sound like your display is having issues with the inverter board. When the power supply detects a short circuit, it turn off by itself. When you try several times, you may be able to "bypass" the circuit protection but the damaged parts still having problems. This issue may be related with the DELL display issues.

The display needs to be fixed by someone with experience in electronics repair.

Vertical size

LCD monitors auto adjust and use a fixed resolution. It's impossible to reduce the vertical scan. The only what I could think of is to specify a widescreen resolution if the monitor is not widescreen and this may only work if you are connected by DVI cable. Sorry!

Elongated desktop and software screen images

Many graphic cards enable you to rotate the screen up to 360 degrees. You could try to post this question again under you graphic card model instead of computer screen model as it is your graphic card that is certainly the problem.
