Does anyone know if there is a problem with using a Ozzy monitor with a UK computer system.
My (uk) monitor has just took the knock , so i thought i`d use my LCD tv ( which can be used as a monitor ) but i`m having problems , it starts up and you see the XP bit but then it goes blank and it says `no video input ` but all the leads are connected properly .
Any ideas??????

I shouldn't think you would have a problem connecting a monitor bought in Oz to a PC sold in the UK.

As for your other problem, you get the 'no input signal' message when the resolution of the output from the PC is too high (or sometimes low) for the screen to handle. When you start the computer, just before the XP screen appears, press F8 on the keyboard and then choose 'VGA Mode' using the arrow keys and return. When you get into Windows, go to the Display properties in Control Panel and change the resolution to 800x600, then reboot.

Once you get back into Windows, you can experiment with what your LCD TV can handle. Or better still, check in the manual

I would thinks all computer equipment is the same the world over. The only thing you need to do with your computer on arrivial in Australia is change the power cable, as you would have trouble fitting the plug into the socket!!!
