Periodic blinking of Win7 display with external monitor
I've installed the 64-bit Windows 7 on my tx1410us notebook in a
separate partition while leaving the 32-bit Vista also on, though in a much smaller partition than originally. Windows 7 installed a dual boot loader, so I can boot into either OS. Then I attached a 23" Samsung 2333HD LCD monitor to it as an external monitor that also has a built-in HD QAM TV tuner. Its native resolution is 1920x1080 at 60 Hz. The notebook's GEForce Go 6150 graphics chip can drive the monitor at that resolution with 32-bit colors. The external monitor's display looks great except one thing: it blinks randomly, getting dark for about a second and then everything is OK till the next blink. The notebook's display blinks with the external monitor when they are set up in clone display mode, both at the laptop's native 1280x800 res. However, the notebook display does not blink when it runs without the external monitor. There is no blinking at all in Vista WITH OR WITHOUT the external monitor. I hope you could visualize my situation from the above description. It looks to me that the blinking in Win 7 has to do something with the 64-bit Nvidia display driver that was installed by the Win7 setup and I wonder if anybody else experienced this problem and knows a way to fix it. |

Well this is just my opinion which might not mean much in this case, but it seems most manufactures are having video card driver problems for Windows 7 right now. I think we just have to be a little patient. -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) - Windows XP SP2 |

I think we just have to be a little patient. Well, I take your word for it. On the other hand, I hope posts like mine help manufacturers to become aware of the problem. |
