[QUOTE="sjevtic, post: 852961, member: 118214"] At the lowest level, digital interfaces are physically still pretty analog and affected by factors such as switching thresholds (which may exhibit thermal dependencies and other anomalies), EMI and other issues that are complex enough they can appear and disappear seemingly like magic. There is a decent chance your link is marginal. Curiously, are you using reduced blanking mode? Most digital displays will accept this form of signal, and the resulting clock frequency reduction could make a marginal connection stable. You can find a bit of information on it here: [url]http://www.playtool.com/pages/dvicompat/dvi.html[/url] The information on reduced blanking is down the page a bit. I wouldn't read too much into this. If it's really on the edge, it might work fine on other equipment and still fail on the system of interest. Right angle adapters, swivel connectors, and even short pigtails of lighter gauge cable (and maybe a signal amp if necessary) can really help with this. Sasha [/QUOTE]
