Seeing this problem doesn't seem to go away despite the expert advice of so many people, may I repeat what I said earlier? My experience is that Philips have a great returns policy. I gave them a ring when my monitor went funny, they asked (a) few questions about the problem I was having, and then delivered a replacement, and picked up the old monitor.

I should add, this was all -free of charge- and this was for a two year old monitor.

I would think the amount of trouble you are having setting this up would get them to send a replacement out. Easiest way of finding out if it is a monitor problem I would think (provided they don't send you a faulty one)
