Monitor delay when changing resolutions

[t1mb0t]

I used to own a 19" CRT monitor and I hated how it would go black for about 2-3 seconds when changing from one resolution to another. I recently bought an HP LCD screen and it still does the same thing. I know it's not my video card, because I've had about 3-4 in the last 3 years.

Most other monitors I see switch between the modes almost instantly.
Is there a setting on the monitor that I can change to make it change faster? Or are there specific brands that do this?

Thanks,

That is perfectly normal. No way of changing it AFAIK.

Nope, nothing you can do. Some just switch faster than others.

I have a 19" Lacie Electron Blue that looks great, but takes a long time to warm up and switch modes. My 19" Samsung doesn't look quite as good, but switches faster...

Don't change resolutions so often.

The main reason it's annoying is when I boot. I never see the BIOS screen/boot information, etc.
