Hey guys,

I have a 1.4ghz G4 Mac Mini and i recently purchased a samsung 205bw lcd display. I am running on the native resolution of 1680x1050 60hz refresh rate (the recommended settings for the monitor)

Overall, the monitor works great until i try to watch video. For some reason when i try ot watch any video (in VLC or Quicktime), after a while the screen begins to flicker than turns black. I ran every diagnostic that samsung has and thee is apparently nothing physically wrong with the monitor. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas..


thanx in advance

Problem Solved: apparently switching to VGA solved the problem. I have encountered several people with the same issue. Apparently there is something wrong with the graphics accelerator in the mini
