Dvr Out Of Range Error On Monitor
Kazuko Rizza
I have a brand new digital HP Windows 10 laptop connected through a HDMI to VGA adapter to a 1680x1050 resolution analog monitor and I want them to work as dual monitors. In 'Display Settings' menu laptop's screen appears as monitor 1 and the analog monitor as monitor 2.
Well, the thing is that if I run 'Show Desktop Only on 1' or 'Show Desktop Only on 2' in 'Display Settings', both monitors look perfectly but when I click on 'Extend This Displays', monitor 1 (laptop's screen) continues looking good while monitor 2 (analog monitor), with the same '1680x1050 (recommended)' resoluton set in 'Display Settings' as before, its image narrows on the screen, with blurry text and a 'Out of Range' monitor error.
I had a extra screen attached via VGA > Hdmi cable to a Laptop. The screen displayed "Out of Range" try "1280 * 1024 - 60Hz" even after trying to disable the graphics card and set "Base video" option via msconfig > Boot, in Safe Mode.
This worked:
As I already explained in the comments, the monitor telling you "(input) out of range" means that your graphics adapter's output is out of the range your monitor can handle. Since that is apparently already the case in the grub environment, you should change grub's graphic configuration to a value that both your graphics adapter and monitor can handle.
The usual place to configure grub is /etc/default/grub, and you should always use that file if possible. However, you'll need to run update-grub to compile the new configuration, which can be tedious from the outside (e.g. a live system). So if you are only able to access the file system from the outside, it's easier to directly modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg. In your case, find the set gfxmode= line and set it to something like set gfxmode=640x480.
If that worked and you are able to boot and use the system, do the same change in /etc/default/grub (the setting is called GRUB_GFXMODE there and usually commented out). Otherwise, the next update-grub will overwrite your changes (for example when a new kernel has been installed).
Trying to connect an hp monitor to my Lenovo windows 7 computer. The monitor was my son's and he had it connected to an hp computer that had been upgraded to windows 10. I'm getting an "input signal out of range" error and am advised to change settings to 1600x900-60Hz. It is currently H=68.6 V=85Hz. Where do I change these settings? Previously I've just connected any monitor to a computer with no problem. Is it the difference in the windows version? Thanks for any help.
The model is S2031. The highest the range slider goes is 1280x1024. The monitor cuts off pretty quickly when trying to adjust any settings and there's a large pop-up in the center of the screen saying settings are wrong and I can't move it.
@merryld It's highly possible the monitor in use does not support the resolution you prefer, does it work fine on lower resolutions? If it doesn't, and if the cable in use is HDMI: click here to troubleshoot, if that's been done and yet it doesn't work, on you have other type of video cable connection, try the below steps:
Disconnect the display power cable, wait about 30 seconds, reconnect the cable and then turn on the display. This resets the electronics on the display. Make sure the display has power and the power light comes on when the power button is pressed. If the light on the display remains off, the display is not receiving power from either the wall outlet or the power adapter.
At first setup, or under certain signal conditions, the display might not be able to switch to a new display resolution. Do not shut down or restart the computer. Instead, perform the following steps:
If a message is displayed, the display panel is working and the problem is related to the video signal. For further troubleshooting steps, see HP support document, Flat Panel Monitor Displays Message about No Signal, Signal out of Range, Sleep, or Power Save.
Some displays do not have on-screen messages but instead use the lights to indicate no signal. When you disconnect the cable, instead of an on-screen message, the light turns amber, indicating that the display lost signal and is working properly, but is out of range, or not receiving the signal.
Restart the computer, and while it is restarting, press F8 until the Startup menu appears. Press 3, and then press ENTER to start the computer in Safe mode. Right-click the desktop, click Properties, and then click Settings. Click Advanced, click Adapter, and then click Adapter Default from the Refresh Rate list. official site
I've tried just about everything suggested but the resolution is still not right. I don't understand why connecting a monitor to a desktop is this difficult. Is the message (input signal out of range, reset to 1600x900-60Hz) coming from the computer or from the monitor? Is the problem because the monitor is an HP and computer is Lenovo? In trying the different suggestions I've somehow (don't know how), got the setting to be 1024x768 and I can view desktop without monitor turning off now but the icons are stretched and don't appear correct. It's not a HDMI cable. The computer worked fine with a Dell monitor and didn't require any adjustments. I would really appreciate some insight as to what it is I'm trying to do to correct the issue. Thanks for any guidance.
i tried to install Ubuntu 22 on my old computer
on instantiation screen when i select try/install Ubuntu 22 i will see monitor error "out of range"
When I press enter, the error message disappears and the black screen will appear
i followed this guide Out of range on monitor but can't find set gfxmode= in /boot/grub/grub.cfg file
im using windows , any idea ?
To proceed with the install and avoid the black screen and error message, BEFORE you try to select the option "Try Ubuntu..." or "Install Ubuntu", pres F6 to bring up Other Options and then use the keyboard to select nomodeset and press Enter or Space Bar to select the option, then try running install or "Trying Ubunutu".
If that still does not resolve the issue, do the same steps again but this time after selecting nomodeset hit F6 again and then also select acpi=off to see if that works. This setting is not necessarily ideal for laptops because of its role in power management but if it can get you through the install, then any updates Ubuntu finds should hopefully address that. But you may want, either before attempting the install or after you've had success with the install (hopefully), to try checking if your laptop has a BIOS update since you did mention it was an older laptop (though "older" can be subjective).
Once it is installed, you can follow the guide you linked by entering Ubuntu in recovery mode if the issue persists following installation or following a BIOS update. And, in case it wasn't something you already checked, try changing system to UEFI mode if it's not in UEFI mode already. I just wouldn't recommend trying to do the grub configurations through Windows, in case that's what you had meant when you tried searching for it and you were using Windows.
Hi
i found my answers
to fix this problem you should select Ubuntu (safe graphic) in grab menu while trying to install Ubuntu
After selecting second option you will see black screen for few minute (based on your USB drive speed) and then Ubuntu install window will appear
We pre-ordered No Man's Sky on Steam. After five minutes of excellent gameplay, my husband went into the in-game settings and dropped the resolution to (I think) 1280 x 960, and this resulted in an out-of-range message on the monitor.
It probably should be noted at this point that, while the computer itself has been souped up with a solid-state hard drive and Nvidia graphics card - GTX 970, I think - it's hooked up to two older monitors, one of which is widescreen and one 4:3. I can't be a lot more specific - this is my husband's baby. Also, it's hooked up so both monitors display the same image. Don't ask me why: please refer to this being my husband's baby. The Windows desktop resolution is set to 1280:768.
Returning player, and I've never had this issue before. Same computer as I've played with previously. I hit "play" from the launcher and my monitor goes blank, and brings up the message "out of range xxxkHz of 80Hz", and the only way i can get back to a usable computer is by doing a system recovery.
Go to disc C\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData (could be hidden folder)\local\SWTOR\swtor\settings and open clinet_settings - change Your resolutution to some low, and set 60 HZ refresh rate. I'am pretty sure its going to fix Your problem You can later set resolution and refresh rate in game options
I had it happen twice that my monitor went black and said "Invalid Input" and I was always able to fix it by hitting ALT+Return thereby switching SWTOR into Windowed Mode. After that I simply used the game settings to switch back to Fullscreen Windowed Mode and set the correct Resolution and Frequency for my monitor.
I had a CRT monitor with multiple refresh rates at its maximum resolution. The game would pick the maximum refresh rate on startup and lie about which one it was using if you looked in settings. It was really easy to tell this was happening because you could hear the monitor change resolution. It was set to 75 Hz at the desktop, but would switch to 85 once the game started. I solved that problem by making a custom Xorg.conf file on a Linux install which wouldn't even list 85Hz as a supported refresh rate.
While my PC is booting up and during the BIOS phase, my monitor shows Out of Range until Microsoft Windows starts loading. Everything is working properly after that with the monitor. That error message appears to be some sort of monitor-specific generated error message too.
