Re: [OT] Weird acting monitor

Yes absolutely certain.

I have two monitors that are identical and the picture does display on

I do not know if the boot screen is shown though. I'll try that tonight.

But regardless if I pick a lower resolution it should still show! It
shows on the other monitor

Thanks
