them. Every monitor has at least one detailed timing display mode. In
monitors with more than one detailed timing display mode, Convert DVI
will support the first three display modes provided by the monitor.
$ Custom Select this option to choose up to three display modes, in any
combination, from the list of available 50 Hz, 60 Hz, and 75 Hz
resolutions. This option can also be used to support a non-standard
display mode when connecting a DVI-D device, such as a camera or
medical device, to Convert DVI’s DVI input when in stand-alone mode
(see “Stand-alone mode” on page 46). From the
Available Display
Modes
window, select up to three display modes.
¦NoteWhichever display mode option you select, Convert DVI will always
support 1280×1024p @ 60 Hz. This is to ensure Convert DVI’s compatibility
with a DVI monitor that supports only 60 Hz refresh rates when the Convert
DVI display modes are set to 50 Hz. In such a case, you will not be able to see
the Convert DVI desktop. This is especially problematic if you connected
Convert DVI to your display card’s primary DVI output. For more information,
see “If you have display issues when starting Windows” on page 25.
4 Click Load, and then restart your computer when prompted.
5 After restarting your computer, if the resolution that you previously selected
for your Convert DVI desktop is no longer supported after changing display
modes, use the Windows display settings to change the Convert DVI desktop
resolution (see “Configuring your display settings for use with Convert DVI”
on page 21).
If the supported display modes include two with the same resolution but
different refresh rate, such as 1280×1024 @ 50 Hz and 1280×1024 @ 60
Hz, use your display card’s configuration utility to set your display card to
run at the desired refresh rate.
