| 834356 | 2009-11-28 03:49:00 | Hey guys, I just purchased a snazzy AOC 22inch flatscreen and plugged it into my very old and tired PC, and the error message displays says: AOC then VGA then: Input not supported! So I am only assuming that my crappy old video card must not support the AOC awesomeness or something? Now I purchased another PC Which I was about to install Linux on, but currently has XP on it, and that works fine (Compaq). So any ideas? What info would you need to troubleshoot? (I think I am good enough on DSL troubleshooting, but couldn't diagnose a hardware issue if my life depended on it..) |

| 834357 | 2009-11-28 03:54:00 | According to this (www.aocmonitor-anz.com) Monitor displays "Input Not Supported". This means the computer is sending an incompatible display mode to your monitor. Please check the user manual for supported display modes or inputs and configure your computer to those settings. |

| 834359 | 2009-11-29 22:26:00 | You were probably trying to use a refresh rate that was too high. Most LCDs only like up to 70hz. If your previous monitor was a CRT and you were running it at 85hz like I do, then that would be why... |
