> couldn't get a hold of, I'm also using the soft15khz utility. I also have the mame
> resolution tool at my disposal but to be honest I've never used it because I don't
> really know how to, does anyone know if I can use this program to fix my problem? One
> final note which may or may not make a difference, the monitor is brand new and
> recently installed but it was damaged in transit(dropped on one corner to be precise)
> maybe this is why turning it off and back on seems to fix the problem, I do have a
