What does it mean when your computer displays a "VGA No Signal" message?
It means that the monitor is working but does not see the computer is turned on. The message means your monitor is working okay but is not getting a signal from your computer. The best thing to do is make sure your computer is powering on. Look on the back of your computer and see if you more then one video port on the back.They will look like the blue one or the white one. See if you have 2 of the blue or 2 of the white. If you do then move your monitor cord to other video port and see if it works or not.If that is not the problem then there is something wrong with your computer is not turning on or you have a problem that you are getting any video from your computer.
Does playing games damage computers and laptops?
Not directly… but it might damage your ‘laptops’ on some levels…When it comes to PCs, they are large systems with sufficient air flow. As all the main components inside a computer are made of semi conductors, the one issue which affects everyone is overheating. Gaming is not just a software program, it utilizes your CPU and GPU more than all other intensive applications.While gaming, the core temperature of your CPU and GPU reaches to it’s maximum. Overheating of computer components is not an unusual thing, but overheating means that both the CPU and GPU is pulling lot of power to run the games which will not affect the PC at that instant, but in the long run the life of the CPU and GPU will be reduced.All the motherboards has an alert system which will turn off your computer when the CPU reaches it’s dangerous maximum. There is also a thing called as thermal throttling where the clock speeds of the CPU or GPU will be reduced by themselves to reduce overheating, but this affects the performance of your computer.When it comes to laptops, it is an even more serious issue. Laptops are portable devices with poor air flow. Laptops are not big machines with sufficient space for cool air to circulate around the components to cool them off. Due to the poor airflow conditions, it is not recommended to run AAA titles on a poorly constructed laptop for a long time.From my personal experience I had a bitter incident 3 years ago, I had a VAIO laptop in which I was playing Farcry 4 at high graphics mode. Everything was going good. The game is running perfectly and I felt nothing suspicious, but after an hour of gaming I felt that the sides of the laptop was overheating like a frying pan. I never faced that kind of overheating, but I didn’t care enough about it which fried my Motherboard after a few minutes. I had to spend ₹13000 to replace it. So if you have a laptop with poor airflow then get a good cooling pad to keep it cool.— it assistors
I have a problem a message "Could not find supported display mode"?
Hi, Battle Realms requires a video card that has Direct3D hardware acceleration. Due to the way Windows handles multiple display adapters, many video cards disable Direct3D hardware acceleration when they are used as part of a multiple display system. To allow Battle Realms to run, you will need to disable all display adapters except the one you want to use with Battle Realms. To do this, open your display properties, and select the Settings tab. Select each adapter you want to disable from the drop down list, and uncheck the "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" box. When you are done playing Battle Realms, you can re-enable this feature. Regards, TgTips
Auto Detect (Analog Input). Cannot Display This Video Mode?
I've been using a DELL SE198WFP monitor for two years. It's been running fine on its native resolution of 1440x900 until a day ago. This resolution disappeared recently. I have done nothing out of ordinary these past few days (Unless you count plugging in a newly-bought USB hubman.) so I have no clue how or why this happened. I am currently using a resolution of 1152x864, which I would have no problem with, except that now I am unable to play most of my MMOs. When I run a game, the screen turns black and there is a message saying, "1 : Auto Detect (Analog Input). Cannot Display This Video Mode." I have tried most of the other resolutions that my monitor was capable of displaying, but I kept receiving the same message. So far, I've tried: -System restoring. -Installing the monitor driver from the website. How do I convince my computer that my monitor is an LCD widescreen and not a generic non-pnp monitor?
Can I use a TV as a computer monitor?
Yes you can use TV as a computer monitor but for that you will need a high-tech HD computer monitor that have high-resolution.You can. Despite the fact that relying upon what you intend to utilize the PC for, you dislike the outcomes.Television's have a tendency to have bring down goals in proportion to their size, which implies greater pixels (conceivably foggy pictures) and lower revive rates (which implies slower reaction to enter).On the off chance that your solitary objective is easygoing web perusing and video spilling you likely won't think about these issues.On the off chance that you are a focused gamer, you'll see rather rapidly that your reaction and precision endure in contrast with a screen of a similar size. (accepting the run of the mill screen has a higher goals and higher invigorate rate)Essentially with present day TV's and screens they are viably a similar innovation and are from multiple points of view exchangeable. What is important in any case are the real useful insights of each. Goals, outline rates, invigorate, reaction, and so on.Analyze the insights for each and pick the quality level you need. A low quality screen is of for all intents and purposes no distinction to an excellent TV. Be that as it may, a lower quality TV is tremendously sub-par compared to a superb screen.In today's world calling something a TV or a screen is essentially simply showcasing, and keeping in mind that there are no standards that organizations are required to pursue with respect to what falls into every classification. The general pattern is that anything marked a TV is of lesser measurable ability than something named as a screen from a similar organization.In truth this choice has existed for a considerable length of time. Thinking back to the 1980's numerous PCs, (for example, Atari and Commodore) were intended to just connect to TVs. Standard TVs had a goals of 640x480.Considering things a screen basically separated the screens that were equipped for being utilized outside of the standard TV settings.As present day HD TV's are currently in the scope of where more established screens used to be, there's an obscuring of the lines with respect to what qualifies as a TV versus what is a screen.
My LG LCD monitor keeps showing "Power Saving Mode" whenever i start up my PC. I can't even get to my desktop.?
The LCD is saying Power Saving Mode because it cannot detect a video signal from your computer. Check the connection on the back of the LCD and on the back of the computer make sure the connectors are in securely. If they are, then the case may be that your computer itself will not boot. If a friend/relative/girlfriend you hate(lol just kidding) has a monitor (or if you have an extra monitor) you can plug the computer in to, and if the computer still acts like its powering on and theres nothing coming on the screen (or their monitor stays in power saver mode), then take your computer tower to geeksquad or your local computer store as you may have a motherboard, cpu, memory, or video card issue inside the computer itself. Not to be solicitating, but if you live in NJ, i could check out this problem in person, since I repair computers as a small sidejob. Good Luck :o) message me (my YIM is BrianSpain45) if you need any further help ;)

How do I make older games run at full resolution on my laptop?
Your games are probably running at 800x600, but rather than scaling the image to take up the full screen, your display is showing it at its native resolution (1 game pixel == 1 LCD pixel).The first thing you'll want to try is increasing the video resolution in the game's options. According to Dell, the native resolution of your display is 1366 X 768.Two problems you might run into:The game doesn't provide any options to change the resolution.Your laptop isn't powerful enough to run the game at a higher resolution, and performance suffers.Most video drivers have a setting somewhere that controls whether to scale full-screen apps to the maximum size of the screen or to show them at the native resolution. If you can't change the actual resolution that the game runs at, you'll want to look for this setting somewhere in your display/video options and change it so apps will be stretched to full screen. (Note: This will probably look pretty ugly. LCDs aren't very good at this, which is why the option exists in the first place.)Also do some searching around if a (usually older) game does not support your native resolution. You can sometimes find a config tweak to enable it. Though not entirely related. The stretching is done by the GPU, not the monitor. What LCDs are bad at is showing an image if it is fed at the wrong resolution, which CRTs are better at.
Is it possible to play 4k video clip on 1080p TV?
Yes and/or No.If your question is about “playing” then NO because almost all of the HD (720p) or Full HD (1080p) LED TVs available toady do not have 4K player in it.but if your question is about “showing” (displaying) then probably Yes. How? Using external player or an android tv box with 4K player.Let's see in details.Can an HD LED TV play full HD video even it has no full HD resolution?Yes, we play Full HD (1080p) video on HDTV with 720p (HD) resolution. Then why not 4K be viewed?If HD display can show full HD video which is double of its resolution then I think (at least) Full HD display should be able to show double of its resolution which is 4K(2160p.)In fact full hd videos look great on HD display likewise 4k video also should look very sharp on HD(720p) or FHD(1080p) display.HDTV or FHD tv can show (according to my assumption) any content even it is HD or full HD or 4K or 8K. Only what needed is that the Player which decodes 4K videos and make them viewable on HD display.Unfortunately most of the LED TVs today cannot not play the 4k video it means they do not have 4k player in it, so you can listen but you cannot watch 4k on the screen.I think tv companies want we to buy new 4k tv that's why they did not provide 4k player.I tried to play 4K video on my phone but it could not watched with normal video player, but I could listen. When I tried to play it on my PC with HD (720p) monitor, it played and showed video because I think my PC had a 4k player. The video was so sharp.So I don't think that I need a 4K resolution TV to view 4K content, instead I would buy a full HD large screen TV having size 55″ or more and use an external Android Smart tv box with 4K to make it smart tv and to view 4K content.Android tv box with 4K capability can play 4K videos from USB. They are available on E commerce sites like Amazon.Most of the 4K TVs are smart where difference between HDTV and 4K TV is only in resolution. There are some non smart 4K TVs. In fact having non smart tv gives freedom to use any Android tv box with personal preference, requirements, specifications and Price.Please Note that I haven't yet tried to play 4K on my HDTV, but I have played 4K video on pc with monitor having HD resolution. The answer is given on assumption. I'll update it when I'll try.
Why is my Minecraft display so dark?
Above ground it isn't too bad, it looks like normal. But as soon as you get into a cave, it gets pitch black and you cannot see a thing. Torches are a lifeline, but on all of my other computers I can see fine even without torches. I built this computer myself but it is running with an HDMI cable, and I'm wondering if maybe that's the problem. My computer can play the game fine, there is no FPS lag, nothing. The only problem is the brightness. I've tried turning up my monitor's (which is my TV, 36" Hanspree LCD) brightness and contrast, but it doesn't fix the problem. Here are my Minecraft settings: Graphics: Fancy Smooth Lighting: Off 3D Anaglyph: Off GUI Scale: Auto Brightness: Bright (Maxed) Particles: All Render Distance: Far Performance: Balanced View Bobbing: On Advanced OpenGL: On Clouds: Off Does anybody know why the display is unbearably dark? Any input would be gladly appreciated.
