If it can't display VGA text or 640x480 properly, you'll likely need to visit your friendly retail establishment. I hope it's something simple. Cheers, Scott.

HTF can they make enough to eat - at $200? Yep, it is - but they've dropped ref. to my 78i Model, since I bookmarked it. [link\|http://www.lgeus.com/\|LGEUS] Anyway - if they are meeting same standards [?] I'd recommend it, though seeing is better, with monitors.. Almost enough to cause me to think I 'need' More Space. Nahhh. It'll pass. Shipping on 60#.. A.
