Ya, and its connected too  :P

As for the drivers, I d/l'd them and there was a setup file, I clicked that and it installed them.

Could it be a power supply prob?

I dunno, nothing I am doin seems to work  ???

You (This wouldn't surprise me) may have not plugged the monitor in properly.

Have you tested the monitor on another PC? Brand new doesn't mean it can not be defective.

What is your refresh rate set at?
