Hi, I tried it on a different CATV box.....no go. Tried a different monitor on the original CATV box, works fine. That is what is so odd. My best guess is that the CATV system expects some sort of return signal from the monitor (or TV if used) and the monitor no longer responds. Possibly a return signal telling the box what sort of refresh rate and resolution it should send. It would seem logical to have a default and then work from there...but there doesn't seem to be one. Just very strange. PCs don't really care. You set the refresh rate and size and it will send it. If you get it wrong then you have to revert to something that will works. It is up to the user not the PC. All is not lost as I can use the monitor on my stereo replacing a diminutive 15 inch one. A new Dell should be here today.
