I think newer monitors, such as one that I have will drop the video signal entirely once it figures out it can't properly display it. A message that says something like "no signal" is displayed. And then once I set the resolution to something the monitor could display, the image came back on. As to whether or not the monitor is still digesting the video signal in some way I am not sure, which is why I said "possible minor correction." > > Nevertheless, if you are like me and run with the monitor turned off, > you can set the video card for whatever clock rate and resolution it > will support.
