I have a four year old Dell LCD monitor, which accepts either VGA or
DVI in.  Changes in my setup have meant that sometimes I'm running it
on VGA, sometimes DVI.  When I switch, I have to go into the monitor's
OSD and tell it which to expect or I get garbled output.  I don't know
if this is common or if most auto-detect, but I thought I'd mention
it.

Slightly OT but if anyone is looking for a recommendation: less than a
week ago I bought an Acer 2216W 22" widescreen LCD.  It's about as
cheap as you can get a 22" monitor at $261, and I like it a lot.
Reviews have been good, which is why I chose it, but I'm not sure my
review should count for too much given how short a time I've had it.
This model is readily available on College Street.  Native resolution
is 1680x1050.
