Samsung SyncMaster 3 monitor Q

[John Todd]

I had assumed this was a CGA monitor, but connected to a working CGA
card on an XT, it doesn't sync. I can see raster, and bright spots
where characters should be, but it's unintelligible.

Samsung SyncMaster3
CVM4967T
May94
FCC A3LCVT485

Should it sync on CGA? What type of monitor is it? It has ordinary 9
pin D sub connector, not VGA. THANKS

Remove "NOT" for Email.

This monitor will sync on VGA and SVGA if you use a 9 pin to 15 pin adapter.
SCREEN SIZE 14"
DIGITAL CONTROLS WITH MEMORY
MAX HORIZONTAL SCAN RATE= 48KHZ
MAX VERTICAL SCAN RATE = 90HZ
MAX REFRESH RATE AT 1024X768
MAX REFRESH RATE AT 1280X1024

At http://www.sbsdirect.com/fccenter.html I found that the monitor is
a VGA monitor...probably needs a special cable...I've seen this before
in other brands...there may be a standard 9-pin VGA interface sharing
grounds...

PS-Could have been EGA too...

try that with a 15 on one end a 9 pin on the other video cable :)

This is an svga monitor, it requires a special cable 9 pin D at one
end and 15 pin at the other (computer end). Not sure what the wiring
is though, sorry,

Chris.

Is SVGA as others have noted.

Cable pinout for db9 connector end is:

1 - red
2 - green
3 - blue
4 - h sync
5 - v sync
6 - red gnd
7 - green gnd
8 - blue gnd
9 - gnd

Cut a cable from an old scrap monitor with a standard VGA conector at one
end, and rewire the cut end as above.

The same cable can be used on older 14" Eizo monitors.

The monitor I'm looking at now is SVGA with a 9-pin D plug on the lead.
(I have an adapter thingy to connect it to a regular video card socket.)

The adapter is probably easy enough to find, but if you want to make
your own the pinout is:

Signal 9-pin 15-pin
Red 1 1
Green 2 2
Blue 3 3
Horiz sync 4 13
Vert sync 5 14
Gnd (red) 6 6
Gnd (green) 7 7
Gnd (blue) 8 8
Gnd 9 10,11 (11 is one of the id bits)

Mike.

I've got a question about a Monitor that I picked
up with a Sony LDP-1000a laser disk player.
The model information is as follows:

Panisonic CT-1920M
Chasis Number: NMX-L23
Serial Number: 463238362

Some facts:
The "monitor" is a television as one would expect
( says Color Television on the back ), but it has
BNC [from my background these are for 10base-2 ethernet not
TVs! :) ]

connectors labeled "Line In", "Line Out", and
"Monitor Out", with a corresponding RCA jack for each
for audio.

The TV works great with the LDP, but I cannot get it
to work with my VCR or any other source.
I have once gotten a little success by opening the
panel up in the back of the television [ being very careful..
I read the FAQ ;) ] and running an RCA cable from the video
out on my VCR to the contacts. I ended up with an actual signal
on the screen but it was scrambled, as if (I am supposing) the
monitor listens on Channel 2 and I'm ouputting to 3.

I also have a switch on the back that says
75 Ohm or HIGH, which I have tried in both positions.
The RCA hack seems to only work in HIGH position.
( I think this should be expected, right? )

I've also tried cutting a "cable tv coax" cable ( please
note that I'm not talking about the BNC cable mentioned above )
And there is a little box out the back marked VTR
which I know is another input source, but nothing beyond that.
There is a button on the front of the TV that lets you
select the source.

Ideally I'd like to be able to wire up the VTR to
accept "cable tv coax" or the RCA video out.
Is there any way to do this, or to get the TV to be
listening on the right frequency?

Does anyone know if there's a real tuner in there at all?

Thank you for your time,

Charles Hunter

It is a monitor, not a TV. The BNC connector is for composite video,
there is no internal tuner. BNC's are used instead of RCAs for high
quality equipment because they provide better sheilding. To watch TV
with it, connect it to a VCR and use that tuner.
