Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Well, this fell off, yesterday :( That is, I looked at some other settings in the monitor, and then it wouldn't go into standby any more. I was trying to get Vista to put it into standby automatically after 10 min, but it wouldn't. Of course it won't now! Linux just shut it off and I'm...
Follow up: after asking, I took it to BestBuy home theater and they let me connect it to a DVD player, I got the correct menu, I changed HDMI from Video to PC, brought it back home and works just fine now. Continues to show the old useless menu, but the setting change I made at BB remained...
