Then I bought a new monitor for one hundred and fifty, because it was a good deal for the size, and mine was pretty dated.  Turns out that it works, but not quite fully.  10% of the right side of the screen is cut off; playable, but I don't want to be spending this much for it to not work properly.

So my options are keep the monitor as is, or return it, losing thirty bucks on shipping and shelving...  Then possibly buy a slightly more expensive monitor that will DEFINITELY work fully.

I've just lost so much money doing this, I don't want to come out of it without it working...  

I wish I had never started trying...  Fuck.

another flashing chance at bliss, another kiss, another kiss...
The days are bright, and filled with pain, enclose me in your gentle rain.

Plus I read consumer reports magazine and read up on the information before I spend money like that.

Just take some hints.. you will learn with time.
Good luck man.

That's why with technology, I always like to spend a little more money to ensure the quality of the product.

The problem was a lack of information.  All sources I had found showed that the setup I was using would definitely work, until it didn't, or had some problem.  Because once it didn't work, you're able to nail down that this specific resolution doesn't work, etc.  So I'm really pretty pissed off.  It was hit or miss, I just didn't want to miss this much.

We had the same problem when we first tried connecting the PC to the TV. We changed the res and flicker rate and it worked fine.
