Lee,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I should clarify that the Studio Display is an old CRT. For a couple of years Apple used the name Studio Display when also referring to LCD displays. Anyway...
If memory serves, Sax2 selected the monitor. I tried changing the selection on my own a couple of times from APP to APPLE in the manufacturer list and to Studio Display, but that didn't seem to have an effect. And I think the Studio Display in the monitor list might refer to the LCD version. I tried changing the refresh rates, but when hitting the "Test" button (to test the display) the "test" always came back with a different scan rate. Baffling. For example, I'd select or indicate 75Hz, run Test, and the test screen would have 84Hz or some such setting. WTF? [...] Thanks again for the help.

Ok, Joe, first of all only send one email to the list please. Since I get that mail hitting the "reply all" or a copy to me is unnecessary. Ok, sounds like your monitor is not feeding a signal back to your video card for it to be properly recognized. I can assume it sees your graphics card correctly? If so, that's a good first step. Since you are choosing a Studio display, which is probably a LCD in the list, then it's not going to set correctly even when you change the H & V scan rates. You need to choose a CRT type from the list that as closely matches your specs as possible. You can then adjust the settings as necessary before testing. Again, I will assume you are sure this video card supports screens that large? You are not trying to run 24 bit that large are you? You should stick with 16bit or check the specs for that card to be sure. good luck Lee
