TICKET ARCHIVE -> Wen Technologies Monitor Driver

Mac Tech - Jul 7, 2005 - 8:53 am

Is there a use able monitor driver out there for the WEN Technologies monitor model PCTV2938 for OS X? If so, how can I get a copy of it? I've tried to contact the manufacturer and several different driver data bases with out success. I realize that there weren't a lot of these monitors made, but I'm still hopeful that some one out there will have what I need. The monitor works OK and comes up with OS X 10.4.1, but I only have 600 X 800 resolution and either 56 or 60 Hz refresh rates as usable choices.

According to the spec page http://www.wentech.com/pctv.htm
you may be able to get 1024x768, but the video output might not support the 87 Hz for that resolution. That would not be a big difference on that big screen. It's tough to justify support on an almost 10 year old unit.

I'd be glad to be able to try for 1024 X 768 @ 85 Hz, but OS X does not offer that option. Although this model of monitor is nearly 10 years old, the one that I have is only 5 years old and like new as it was only used one year for special presentations in the library of a technical college. They decided that it was too cumbersome to deal with and replaced it with a big screen LCD. I got it for the disposal fee and it works great with a VCR or DVD player, but I'd really like to find the drivers that would enable me to used it with 1024 X 768 @ 85 Hz.

Thanks for your help though.
