Hey guys,
I've never been able to see my BOOT/POST on my system, which seems to be a pretty common issue with these monitors on PCs. I just installed the Vista Beta and I can't see anything at all, so I think it's time to get a more compatible setup. Could you please tell me the following information, I've filled mine in for an example:

Screen version: Aluminum 23"
Video card: ATI Radeon 9600XT
Motherboard: ASUS A8V Deluxe
Connection: DVI (other option is VGA w/ DVI adaptor)
Comments: No boot/post text, first thing I see is the XP login screen

I'm going to go get a new mobo/vid card so hopefully I'll see something current and compatible.

Thanks.

I'm on an Apple Cinema Display.

Screen version: Aluminum 20"
Video card: Nvidia 6800 vanilla
Motherboard: ASUS P4G800-V
Connection: DVI
Comments: Never had any problems. Bought it with my G5.

Check pins. Bent? Broken?
Install XP Pro (dude.. vista? unstable? support?)

Can you get into BIOS (via keyboard or jumper)?
