| Good research, a boon to you pcr.

OK, thanks. Mileage varies per hardware/drivers with those settings, as
I think we already knew. I've had no minute font/unreadability problem
this time around even with a 2" smaller monitor & saw no quick drain on
resources/speed. Maybe I'll go back to 32-bit True Color & run it a
while, though— not just read the Resource Monitor at boot.

Nevertheless, I do believe these adjustments very probably were
warranted in that master post of mine— & I will lift my curse off your
head in 3 months of no mishaps! OK, bye.

Nice monitor PCR, how did it die?

It developed a slight wobble that got a tad worse. I believe it began to
loose color at times. Finally, one day, it was black, I guess after 3
years/so. Then, an old, used one sitting behind me went black after a
bundle of months, might have been a NEC with a slight wobble-- maybe
that's one with intermittent color near the end. This Envision 5400e 15"
LCD is doing fine, with maybe just an infinitesimal wobble-- down from a
slight one when 1st plugged in. It looks fine even at it's highest
resolution of 1024x768, much better than it did in the store.

Thanks PCR,

I'm using an MV720 now, and was just curious.

Good luck with yours, Christianson. Maybe keep a spare behind you, is
all. And memorize this sequence...

Windows key (or CTRL-ESC), U, S. (And maybe ENTER.)

....That is how to hopefully get an orderly shutdown on a black screen!
