Hello,
I thought it would be easy - get the Dell 2405FPW monitor for my recording studio and add the Samsung HD950 DVD player and I could be watching potential the best quality video (in my spare time of course) that I could afford right now.
The Samsung has a HDMI connection, but comes with a HDMI to DVI cable. When I connect the HD950 to the 2405FPW via the DVI connection, power both devices up I get the Samsung welcome screen. But once I insert a DVD (any DVD for that matter) and the discs starts to boot, the screen flashes on/off a light shade of purple. This happens regaurdless of what resolution the HD950 is set to output.
Am I missing something with regards to an "HD" signal that maybe this monitor is not equipped to handle? I assummed (I know) that because it was a DVI connection, it should work fine.
Any insight would be helpful. So far tech support from both companies have been very little help. Thanks,
Dave
