trouble synching Samsung monitor wih MacBook
I am trying to get a Samsung 953BW monitor to work with a MacBook running OSX 10.5 using DVI with a DVI cable and a DVI to mini DVI port cable (supplied by Apple). All I get on the monitor is a screen saver with "check signal cable: analog" message.
All the cables seem to be in the right places and securely installed. I notice on the System Preferences, the "detect monitor" button does not bring any response. Previous posters have had similar questions, but i do not see that any of them had answers that would apply here. |

Re: trouble synching Samsung monitor wih MacBook
With that message, it seems that the monitor is looking for an analog signal, not a digital signal, and the signal coming out of the Macbook with the mini-DVI to DVI is digital only. I'd be checking the monitor to make sure it is set to look for a digital signal.

Re: trouble synching Samsung monitor wih MacBook
you will want to set your monitor to auto select the source. I have my MacBook hooked up to a Samsung 2693HM.
