I am waiting on a price from my Uncle (works at Sony) to see if he can get it for me cheaper than I can find it online... I'll have one in a couple weeks... but I can't help you now except for giving the thread a bump.

I have the monitor, and have not experienced anything like this? What OS are you using, and are you talking about in games or desktop?

You should be able to change the desktop settings without any problems. Btw, this monitor does not have any drivers! But this has not affected me, or anything I do, gaming etc?

For games I?m using RivaTuner to achieve all default refresh rates (1600x1200 @ 85MHz).

Hmm... are you using latest drivers for your 8500? This is odd.

Is your monitor set to plug & play?
