Samsung 193P+ and DVI

[eamayer]

I just bought a 192P+ at CompUSA. $600, but two unadvertised rebates for $50 each brings it to $500. Problem I have is to enable the DVI output from my eVGA 6800 GT card. I am running on analog right now, played some HL2, and it looks great, but the monitor is not getting any DVI signal. Anybody tell me what I am doing wrong??

Have you tried unplugging the analog cable and just plugging in the monitor using the cable that came with the monitor (DVI-D). If you use a DVI-I cable instead, don't you have to switch it over in display properties after boot? (I don't know the answer...since I use DVI-D and ATI card, no analog cable and it works fine)

Actually, I went to the eVGA website and found my stupid mistake was starting it with the analog cable. I tried removing the analog cable and restarting with the DVI only, but it did not work. I found out that I must do a shutdown, not a restart, with the DVI cable only attached. That worked. Thank you for your suggestion, you are right.
