So, there was this monitor (VX2235WM-3) at work that had a "DOES NOT WORK" sticker on it, so naturally, I figure someone had a problem with it for one day and decided they needed another. I asked permission and was allowed to take this monitor home to test it out.
I don't have a DVI cable, and my video card only has DVI ports, so I used a DVI adapter for the card and used a regular VGA plug for the viewsonic monitor (that setup currently works for my CRT monitor). When I plug it into the computer, I either get a light-gray blank screen, or vertical colored lines towards the right half of the monitor. Windows didn't seem to pick up on the monitor and the Nvidia control panel display search tool couldn't find it.
I'm guessing it is actually busted, but I was wondering if there was either a cheap fix or what?
