What are your computers powersave options set to?

DaveTqwer: Yes, I realize that but I was referring to the fact that it's burning power to display the useless "No VGA" message, that it wouldn't otherwise consume if it had a black screen  - no?   No The power just to have the monitor on will be the same as with that message. Have you thought of pushing the power button on the monitor? If you turn the monitor off it uses no power at all.

You wouldn't have happened to purchased a E228WFP, would you? There are multiple people experiencing the same exact problem as you. And I myself have suspecting an overheating component somewhere, since it happens far less often in cold weather (when it is cold in the house). If I turn off the monitor whenever I leave and don't leave it on too long when I'm using it, I can avoid too many problems, but it can get really...

I don't know what colour profile I had it on in the last image. I thought I had broken it. I messed with it for a bit, then put just put it back and the two images match now. Its a bit difficult because I'm trying to compare on the same screen so I am interested to hear how it compares between your two screens Brightness 75 Constrast 70 Input Color Format RGB Gamma PC Mode Selection Graphics Preset Modes sRGB Wide Mode Fill...

Do you have any suggestion on what type of video card I should buy which can give me some better resolution ?

Ok, found it. Power save is set for 3 hours.  Also, after a black out episode, when the system reboots, another black out episode occures in a much shorter time (5-10 minutes).

Thanks vgosselin, Yes did some serious reading on the 2 NEC's which appear very good. Money being no object, the NEC's and Eizo's would have been of interest. NEC seemed to be close to on a par with the Eizo but more reasonable on price, still double that of the u2410.  There is no question that quality control and image consistency across the screen are the big reason for this cost difference. They have a feature that...

I am runnng Windows 7 Ultimate on an Optiplex 755 system with EVGA GT220 video card. I started with the HDMI connection and the monitor would just have a floating GUI that says " No HDMI cable connected" or something like that. The monitor does not go to sleep at all and you can see that there is power to the it. Switched to the DVI connection and it would turn off the monitor normally I it goes off completely and then wakes...

The two 24" 2407WFP's I bought a couple of years back actually came with 4 year warranties, but to the best of my knowledge, all brand new Dell monitors carry a 3 year warranty as standard? So you're saying you let a one month old 22" Dell LCD gather dust for basically three whole years, before deciding to try and do something about it... yourself   "All's well that ends well", but...
