This is a dual-monitor home workstation.
This afternoon, the left monitor suddenly started displaying only dim
vertical stripes and lines and a black background, nothing else. The
right monitor still works fine. It is the same when I switch the
monitor cables on the back of the tower, at the graphics card outlets.
How do I determine whether the problem is the monitor, the graphics
card, the graphics driver, or something else?
Is there something to look for in a log file? If yes, what do I look
for, and which log file should I look in?
A local friend had access to a spare Dell P2412H monitor (from a
business that shut down a local office?); he gave it to me today. It is
working. But windows and text are obviously bigger on this new monitor
than on the remaining older Dell U2711. Is there a way of making things
appear the same size on the P2412H (too big) as on the U2711 (about right)?
