Just scored myself one of these monitors from work as it 'no longer works' according to the boss. I figured I could take it anyway, and if it really is busted dispose of it later.
As it turns out, it turns on fine. It is also detected perfectly fine through DVI (not VGA however) on my computer as a secondary monitor (the desktop extends over to it and Windows allows me to alter settings for it), but it won't show anything on the screen.
The kicker is that when you turn the computer on without an input source connected, then screen will show you a message in the middle of the screen telling you there is no input source.
After reading through a few threads based around this particular monitor, but not really finding any similar issues I figured I should make a thread about this myself.
