Dell LCD Digital input on DVI port

jack2 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:55:53 +0800

My Dell LCD has two ports i.e. normal VGA and 24+1 DVI port.

I am using notebook and to connect the notebook using VGA to VGA cable. I bought the VGA to DVI port and plugged to dell LCD.

When I tried to send video signal to LCD, there is no response... but when I unplug the VGA cable and to plug into VGA port, there is after I pressed the button on LCD to change to channel 1 which is analog Input.

But when I am on DVI port using the same cable, and switch to channel 2 which is digital, no signal.

Anything needs to set?

Hi, I have some questions.

Do we allow to register a domain name, for example www.citibank.(anything) (say .net, ws or anything) since Citibank should have trademarks on their name?

Font is not sharp and contains abit shadow

jack2 — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:03:15 +0800

Just bought D-link KVM switch 221 to connect two computers into one LCD, mouse and keyboard.

One is desktop and one is mini netbook.

Strange thing happens that when I switch to use desktop, notice that the font especially in white background, I see that the font is having some shadow (about 2%) and there are many words there (in Ms Word, Notepad or Excel), it is very obvious and makes me blur a bit.

But when in netbook, I do not have such problem.

Tried to switch the cable among them and desktop is still having the same problem.

One thing is, when using KVM switch, the brightness and contrast will be darker and need to adjust to higher value in both computers if compared you are direct cable. This is not a problem, but the problem is in the desktop for while background.

How ar?

Note:
The font in desktop is like when you are using typewriter in new ribbon, the font will be darker (bold 2%), so make you see all words like very messy and a bit kotor.

D-link 221 KVM

jack2 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:44:45 +0800

I am interested to buy the above products but before I confirm my order, I would like to confirm if the D-link KVM 221 switch is used, would there be any significant poor signal quality on its screen/image noticeable if compared to direct connection from graphic card to a LCD/Monitor.

Currently I tried to use VGA splitter cable (1 to 2) that fixed to the LCD and contains 2 female VGA output. The output image is reduced and not that sharp and clear as direct connection. Wondering if it is because the splitter is cheap and no power to boot up.

Dlink KVM 221 Switch

jack2 — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:42:15 +0800

Hi, I am intending to buy this but I am unsure if I use this switch, the output screen quality be reduced and noticeable compared to if you connect it from GC directly to LCD without using this SWITCH.

I used VGA splitter 1-2 and noticed that the image is poor and fonts and background are not as sharp us if you connect it directly.

Please advise before I purchase it?

Thank you.

Do you think this netbook can perform and run office task programs smoothly without problem?

Office task programs:

2. Excel
3. Adobe Reader
4. Firefox
5. Windows Media player for listening songs...

Use it for 5-8 hours a day x 5 days.

And if this model entitles for HP 3 years warranty extension?

If I install VMware player for the purpose of testing some software applications, the PC speed performance will be the same as host windows without delay?

When I leave this application without using it, will it slow down the host windows?

Letter of demand for driver's / Offer to compound

jack2 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:46:28 +0800

I received a letter from Traffic Police on demand letter for driver's particular and offer to compound on traffic offences as attached.

Went to the nearest police station but requested me to go over the police station where this letter was issued.... damn.. it was quite far from here.

I can confirm that I never went to that place during the date as I am sure where I was and I never lend my car to anybody.

If I wanna to pay it, the offer is RM40 but I don't want to pay as I worry that if I pay it, I admitted on that offence and later if anything happened to that car, I might be in trouble.

Should I ignore it or I can call them for clarification / proof that my car was there?

Maybank2u - Issues that happened previously

jack2 — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:31:01 +0800

Wonder if anyone of you heard that previously there were many cases happened on unauthorised third party fund transfer without the concern of the account holder.

The fund was transferred to someone without the need of the TAC code as well.

I heard that those ppl able to see the database and pass through the TAC code.

Did you hear about it?
