Hmmm. Have you EVER powered it down completely, or unplugged it? Has the monitor EVER kept it's settings? Just because something is new, doesn't mean the batteries in it are fresh. It seems that people on these lists have brought home new Macs that already had dead PRAM batteries! If your monitor has no mention of a battery in it's documentation, I doubt there is one though. Also, I've never heard of a monitor with a dead battery (not that I've heard everything). With your monitor plugged straight into a wall outlet, I'm assuming there's no protection against power surges or brown-outs. Sometimes electronic things get "confused" (sorry for the technical terms) from highs or lows in the power lines, or because of random cosmic rays, or because of Microsoft's evil band of flying monkeys who sneak in your windows at night and mess things up. Sometimes the only fix is to unplug the power cord for a while, take a deep breath, and then plug it back in. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
