DVI-I to VGA adapter causing poor image quality.

SubZeroFlsh · Mar 10, 2015

Hello!

A few days ago I finally got my PC up and running, I came into a issue which isn't huge, but it is rather annoying. I had this on my old PC and I managed to fix it by re-plugging my GPU, that might not of been it, it is just the only thing I have tried that fixed it on my previous PC. I will show some screen shots. It has a red ish sort of tint behind the text and images. I have seen people online and I can't find any solutions.

It will be great if you guys can help me get it fixed, as this clearly is the best place to ask.

Thanks! and please ask any questions.

the image looks 100% normal to me, have you tried a different monitor?

Well since it is a display issue, the screenshot looks completely normal to me since my display is working fine.

Have you tried updating your graphic drivers? Tried a new cord or a new DVI-I to VGA adapter?

I'm afraid it's not visible in the screenshots you provided. You might want to check if the port you have plugged the converter is plugged in to supports an analog signal, as there are types of dvi that officially only support a digital signal. If this doesn't fix the issue, you might want to look into replacing the converter.

Hope this helps.

Ok, thanks for your responses guys. I have up to date drivers, and not sure what else it can be. I sadly don't have another monitor to try. I will tweak some things and update my progress.

if you see a red "shadow" that could just be your monitor is incorrectly aligning your RGB pixels

Ok, any things I could try? I Because they does sound like it could be the issue.
I have tried the auto/set button, and it doesn't change sadly.

Thanks for your responses!

if the issue persisted across two different computer models, I would really suspect the monitor.

To eliminate the monitor as the source of the problem, the only thing we can do is to check using another (different) monitor.

If you don't have a second monitor, do you have a television that accepts those connections? If so you can test it on that.

SubZeroFlsh · Mar 10, 2015

I think I do have a spare monitor actually. I will go and test it.

Sadly, the other monitor like this one only uses VGA. This one does have DVI D. Should I buy a new cable? or is there anything I can try?

Thanks for your responses!

ovechkin678 · Mar 11, 2015

You could just try a new cable. It it fixes great, if not you have only ruled out the cable/adapter as the issue. But that still leaves the monitor or card. Do you have someone that can lend a monitor? Or take your stuff to their place and test everything?

I had this with my previous PC which has a 8800GT and had the same problem, i will try the cables.
