Hi Dan,
 
That's more encouraging than what Andrew had to say. Maybe these issues
are monitor specific? Perhaps the Sony 21" flat panel will be more
cooperative than the Toshiba.
 
Thanks!
Tom

        We have an entire lab full of those things, HP/Compaq supplied
the proper adapter with those computers, and we can plug any normal
monitor into them with no re-configuration at all.  

         

        If I remember right, those adapters didn't have any circuitry in
them either, they simply reconnected some of the DVI pins to a DB15
layout.

                Anyone have much experience with Monitors with DVI
connections? I put my first one together the other day, and it was a
nightmare getting the colors right. Didn't know if I got a whack
monitor, or if its something about DVI. I'm going to try it again
tomorrow and wondered if my last experience was a one-off, or if DVI
connections need more babysitting.

        
        Well DVI is the raw digital output, so the monitor gets no say
in how to actually adjust the image - you can't fiddle with the RGB
settings on the monitor itself.
        
        If you need to adjust the colours, you need to get some software
to mess with the ICM profiles (or to just apply a setting on bootup) in
Windows. 
        
        Adobes Gamma tool might do, or Entechs Powerstrip, if not theres
pro things like the MagicEye cameras. Have a google for "monitor
calibration" :)
