- Hi,
-
- All I can say about the problem (SC1224 has a dark purple picture when switched
- on before the ST) is that I have had exactly the same problem for a year and a
- half now.
- It seems that the monitor doesn't like it when it gets no sync signals.
- This I found out when I tried a 'smart' screen-saver which just stopped the
- sync. This type of program is no fun, as I don't know if it can permanently
- damage the monitor.
-
- Something which works for me is switching the monitor and computer (and HD) on
- at the same time (I use a large power strip with its own switch).
-
- Good luck,
- Bart Schuller
