Disabling Economy Mode in LG Digital Monitor W2052V: Manual Installation and D-Sub Connector

Probably the problem is with everyone who installed the monitor via the D-Sub connector, like me. I thought that changing the connector later automatically takes care of the new settings. The solution is manual installation with the choice of the (in my case) W2052V digital variant.
The monitor was and is working, and I am very pleased with this purchase.

It would be worth sticking this short (not a new topic) somewhere, because I experienced a nervous night myself, looking for healing information for my freshly purchased monitor on many forums. I haven't found anything sensible anywhere. But I know that a lot of people have made up their mind
return the monitor - (and yet functional) - for warranty repair and wait for weeks to return "repaired". The behavior of LG Poland, most likely employing incompetent people in the position of a technical specialist for contacts with customers, is puzzling.

You can specifically write what you did because I also have a LG monitor and after turning off the computer, the word SAVING MODE pops up on it.

I connected the computer with an analog cable and installed the drivers and program from the company's disc, then (after many different combinations and internet searches) connected the DVI cable .
Not disconnecting analog cable I installed the monitor again:
control panel / add hardware - the wizard for adding hardware will appear.

In the wizard there is an option to select hardware from the list and provide the location of the drivers - I chose the appropriate drive, clicked the folder with the drivers and probably then chose digital variant .
I don't know if I made a mistake, but it's a simple procedure thanks to the wizard.
I already had a monitor installed, I switched from the settings to D-Sub to DVI .

Now I was able to disconnect the unnecessary analog cable, of course, after turning off the computer.

I must also add that economy mode it's not completely turned off, but only turns on momentarily during startup.

I understand your question as a problem with connecting the monitor to DVI ...

I also had a similar problem: I bought a monitor in an online store and after checking the matrix (pixels) I was the happy owner of the LG W2052V-PF- until I wanted to connect it via the DVI cable.

All attempts had the same effect - you connect the DVI cable and select the options in the DVI input monitor and the message -Save Mode was displayed on the monitor.

On the forum I read that `` this type is yes '' and the only solution is to hand over the monitor to the website.
Nothing similar. If we connect the monitor via the D-sub socket, it must be installed after starting Digital monitor (control panel-add hardware-select the equipment from the list-where Analog Monitor is already installed, install the Digital Monitor)
Then you need to set it as the main monitor (right on the desktop and in the properties set Display to -Digital Monitor and select the tab -use this monitor as the main device)
Then you just need to toggle the signal from RGB to DVI (of course, with the DVI cable plugged in) and everything works as it should.

Hello, I have a similar problem. The monitor is connected with a DVI cable and since yesterday a window with the words "digital saving mode" pops up, the computer continues to fire but the monitor is not, I managed to turn it on in safe mode today, removed the drivers and re-uploaded, unfortunately, nothing gave the monitor still won't turn on. I connected other monitors but the problem persisted, changing the cable from DVI to D-SUB did not help.

my unfortunate monitor:
LG flatron w1952TQ

My friend cauliflower126, for you, the problem is with the graphics card, the computer, and not the monitor.
Did you start your computer in safe mode? (F8)

Yes, it turns on once and not, I was confused by the fact that everyone who had a problem with it had LG and this economical mode was displayed.

Provide complete configuration. Do you know what could be the reason for this behavior? Have you installed anything?
What does it mean that in the emergency mode it starts once and then does not? Any error messages?

Write to us what kind of graphics card you have, and what settings you have in energy management (ppm on the desktop -> properties -> screensaver -> power)

I just did not think about anything, my brother turned on the computer in the morning and that's it, the safe mode starts as I manage to make the monitor work (it turned on either immediately after firing up or when he was about to log in) and no messages appeared

I have a GeForce 7300 Gs

and in this energy management I have everything never in the Minimal Power Management scheme

Graphics card has passive cooling? Try to connect another graphics card, it may be PCI.

Passive, that is, the heat sink itself, and as for connecting another one, I have no place to get another one.

Yes, that is, the heat sink itself.

Yes, I have it. But it may be something with the card, because when I put the computer aside for a few hours, it turned on normally, but I'm afraid to check if it will work again, because recently I had it too, that it didn't want to turn on, there was some time and it started working. Now I am thinking whether or not to do formatting, because I hope that maybe it will do something, and if not, at least I will have an excuse to buy a new graphics card.

I recently dismantled such a card, there was something brown, hard, parched under the heat sink instead of paste. Remove the heat sink, clean with some spirit, even some cologne if you don't have something better and apply the paste correctly. Think about some airflow on the heat sink, the heat sink itself, even so large with poor air circulation in the housing is not enough.

Thank you very much for help. I changed this toothpaste the fact was no longer what it should have been, I hope it helps. Without jamming, everything works fine so far.

Hello, I have the same problem with the LG monitor, the Gigabyte Gf 9600GT card passively cooled, connected via DVI to the Flatron W1952TQ. The monitor turns off in 2 ways:
1 - you can see POST and start Windows XP and at the time of logging in XP I have "Digital saving mode" and then like in the dark,
2 - you cannot see POST or Windows loading, only "Digital saving mode", but after starting the login screen appears.
It is not the temperature that is a problem because I have 2 valves attached, and the temperature at rest is 35 degrees and under stress it is 55 degrees.
The card does not show any artifacts in the atitool.

It happens randomly, sometimes everything works fine, and sometimes when I turn it on, the monitor turns off.

I think I've figured out the problem already. It was preceded by a rain dance with cable replacement, settings, Bios cleaning, removing the card, resets, etc.
There are 2 DVI outputs on the card. I borrowed a second Benq LCD with DVI output for testing. And now like this:
- I have 2 DVI on the card, let's call them DVI-1 and DVI-2
Until now, I had LG in DVI-1 and sometimes there was no picture.

- I connect:

LG in DVI-1
Benq in DVI-2
During startup (POST tests, launch bar) I have an image only on BENQ DVI-2 and not on LG, after loading Windows XP I have an image on two monitors.

I turn off the computer

I change monitors

Benq in DVI-1,
LG in DVI-2
During startup (POST tests, launch bar) I have an image only on LG DVI-2 and not on Benq, after loading Windows XP I have an image on two monitors.

Now I have an LG connected to DVI-2 and it works as it should.

And now I have a question:
If I have 2 DVI monitors connected, should I have an image on two monitors when starting the computer and in bios? Is one DVI always the default? Or maybe the DVI-1 on the card is damaged?

For me, the image is on both monitors to start XP.

Do you also have 2 DVI connectors? Is DVI and D-Sub?

I have 2 * DVI and two D-Sub monitors connected via adapters.

See, you have adapters. When I connected LG to the adapter, it also worked. Not too much under DVI.

You can try to check on a different DVI cable.

I have just checked on three cables. On DVI, the closer to the motherboard it always works, and on this it still does not. And as I wrote earlier, when I connect the monitors, Windows loads on DVI close to the disc, only after starting I have an image on 2 LCDs. How I connect any LCD is the same.

-----------------------------------
EDIT 1:
I just called Komputronik in my city where I bought the card and the man who picked up told me that some cards with 2 DVI have one default DVI channel for the monitor and the image on two monitors is then realized by the drivers. He said that on some cards the image is on two monitors right away, and on some cards only after the system is booted and that it depends on the card, and that he has already encountered this. Strange, isn't it?

-----------------------------------
EDIT 2:
I checked on the Asus 9600GT and the same, it only boots on the white connector. Apparently my computer is not dual DVI compatible. Moreover, I read on foreign forums that such a situation happens sometimes and it is quite normal. The most important thing is that the card turned out to be fully functional

And I have a d-sub connected (I think) and nothing helps me because I don't have a dvi on it. I don't know, I don't know how to make it on this dvi, maybe it will help.

Hello,
I have a LG Flatron L206WU monitor, I have the same problem,
I can't switch to the digital DVI connector.

I did as above, installed the digital driver, but when I switch
from D-sub to DVI, I keep writing "digital economy".

How do I enter the Settings properties screen: I have LG L206W digital selected.

Please help.

So that the topic does not get too old, I am writing with a similar problem.

I bought LG Flatron W2453V and connected via DVI cable on the card ATI 9200SE (D-SUB and DVI output)
and it worked, but when setting up I dug something with the resolution and saw a black screen.
After the reset, unfortunately the monitor showed me a message "DVI SAVING MODE" .
So I plugged the D-SUB cable and started looking for help on the forums, because the connection via DVI had no effect anymore ...

After many, many combinations, including two monitors,
I managed to make the computer detect two monitors for me,
while connecting the D-SUB and DVI cable at the same time,
however, it does not happen immediately after booting the system, nor through the hardware adding wizard,
but only when I fire up the ATI CATALYST Control Center panel.



Then, after turning on, I hear a sound like turning on a USB device and start "playing": /



At this point, the image is already expanded to include a second "virtual" monitor.
When switching to DVI - unfortunately the picture turns black and that's all good.
I have to reset, and after starting I have the same message as before,
except for DSUB - "DSUB SAVING MODE"

I am trying the "clone desktop" operation so that it does not bother me with the bastard of the extended desktop:



... and I don't know what to do next ...



After switching to a digital monitor, I get a black screen and nothing. After the reset, it reboots as DSUB, but already sees two monitors - digital and analog.



Switching, however, has no effect
I don't know what I'm doing wrong and how do I set this shit to work only in DVI connection mode?
The sterowiniki are pushed up, everything seems bright, but not - black screen and smacked pupa: /
I don't know why, after connecting with a DVI cable alone, the monitor does not work.
I've been struggling with this for a few days now and I'm going crazy!
I really feel like a moron - maybe someone will explain it to me step by step
HELP!

... and another day of fun: /

I am trying, already "chilly", to follow. the instructions of my previous speakers.
I have a monitor connected via DSUB:

- I turn off the computer
- on the off, I attach the DVI cable
- I run (surprisingly it works for a moment)
- when loading WinXP, the monitor changes to "DSUB SAVING MODE"
- I do " "

Apparently, he is bothered by the attached DVI cable ...

I just bought the monitor and I'm starting to think about replacing it, because why do I need DVI (and HDMI anyway),
since I cannot take advantage of this benefit.?.

ps
I will explore a little more, although I do not know if it makes sense, since by proceeding
according to the instructions, it does not have the desired effect ... anyway, I will describe further "adventures". :)

Added after 4 [hours] 40 [minutes]:

Ha!
The news is that when I switched screens and a black image appeared,
I came up with the idea to pull the plug "naughty" DSUB - the image appeared,
and the monitor signaled that it is connected via DVI .

I had previously set both monitors to the lowest resolution, which is 800x600. This is also the picture that appeared to me.
The problem is that if you want to change the chapter to a higher one, and not even the maximum one,
only one step higher - 1024x768, a black screen appears
and the monitor changes to "DVI SAVING MODE" :(

Now I wonder if it is possible that my card does not support higher resolutions via DVI ?
When connected via DSUB makes beautiful 1920x1080, why it cannot cope with the output DVI ?
Is it possible to get on DVI did she have any limitations?
I remind you that this RADEON 9200SE with one exit DSUB and one DVI .

I already know more!

It turned out my card RADEON 9200 SE , unfortunately it does not support full resolution via DVI , though on DSUB it works, and it works quite well.

Card specification

At the very end of the specification, it says ...
"NOTEl: resolutions are limited by the performance of the attached monitor. DVI-I monitors will be limited to 1600x1200."
... and this turned out to be not entirely true, because for me it works only at a resolution of 800x600, with full hardware acceleration.

The solution in my case is to buy a new graphics card that supports higher resolutions on DVI .
Most likely RADEON from the HD series.

ATTENTION!
For all who, just like me, scared the black screen and info "SAVING MODE" - do not reset the computer,
just press the button SOURCE on the monitor and the signal source changes.
I am writing about it due to the fact that after pressing this button in this model, no menu is shown, which in my opinion is a slight defect of LG
and somehow I did not understand it from the beginning.
The monitor can be connected simultaneously through both cables and it is enough in the case of a black screen to change the signal source by pressing the button SOURCE . :)

Well...
I read it, wrote it, figured it out, I made a fool of myself, several times, but I managed to solve the case.
I hope that my posts will be useful to someone after all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
AND SOLUTIONS FOR ALL, NOT JUST COMPUTER PROBLEMS!

farbe did you solve the problem with DVI?
