View sonic vx2880ml monitor

[LEEDASH]

Hi group,I have a view sonic vx2880ml,which I've been given locally,just got around to using this,having found my PC tower does not have a hdmi port.
Can these monitors play any other devices through there hdmi port ? Also when switched on it does not show a blue screen just seems lite around sides,does anyone know anything about these monitors.

Most likely, yes. HDMI is standard across all devices that use it, as far as I know.

No idea. Could be normal or it could be bad. Normally, most monitors display a "no signal" message when powered on with nothing connected on their input(s).

If you have any device that output on HDMI, try connecting it to the monitor and turn it ON to see if it displays anything.

actually no,
you still have to have compatable sync frequency's

most monitors wont handle vsync below 59Hz, although some asus ones do.
PAL systems output HDMI signals at 50Hz by default.

i can tell you from experience that most monitors will NOT run from a PAL PS3 for example.
they will give a "sync out of range" error and go into standby.

try to find a manual for the monitor to see what the H & V sync ranges are.
