Today, after 3 weeks since my desktop (an 8+ year old Win 7 clunker) finally bit the dust, i bought a new pc, an ASUS. BUT my OLD as heck, Microtek C783 monitor doesn't seem to recognize it, OTHER than during the initial boot up (bios area). PAST that nothing. The new desktop DOES support HDMI, so i am wondering, if maybe the VGA output, is too 'new tech' for my old monitor to recognize/compatible with.
So how does one go about finding out how old a monitor is? IIRC i bought this one, when i was stationed in Downtown london, WAYYY back in 2002-03 neck of the woods.. So is that TOO old, for newer pcs??
I wonder, because when i bought it at the store (Best buy), i had it boot up IN THE STORE and do the updates, while hooked up to one of their monitors, USING the HDMI port..
