I need to replace one of my bench monitors and I can't find one that is non plug n play. I have chosen all my bench monitors so they specificaly don't have plug'n play and are capable of a fairly high refresh rate. I have found that this allows me to avoid the inevitable telephone call about why the screen is the wrong size when the customer gets their computer home.
Is there a specific pin on the db-15 monitor cable that controls this? Maybe I could pull it out? Any other ideas?

Pin - nope, more likely chip. I mend monitors, and I wouldn't like to go hunting for i, just to d/c it, as that probably wouldn't work anyway.

If memory serves, there is a pin...I know I have the common pinout standard at home from when I had to solder on a new end - not fun. Will do some checking in the meantime, though.

Here is one site with a pinout map:

Not sure what the ID bits are for...perhaps someone else can shed some light.

OK this is new for me. However what about

this pinout (http://www.monitorworld.com/faq_pages/q17_page.html)


/me waits to see what Arc thinks, wonders if the answer is "clip+clip+clip= problem solved" :D
