Steve, Thanks for the advice.
I like your explanation, but why did the monitor work when I first got it
but stopped working the way I prefer after a few weeks? My 2 other monitors
work OK with the procedure I use and one of them is 10 months old (the
other 8 years old).

If nothing else works, I will just change my habit.

Thanks,


Changhsu Liu
