[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1302320, member: 24160"] SMC reset should not affect any of your preference settings. It will reset the video among other things to default. My personal recommendation is to always use digital when that option is available - especially from a computer made in the last 8-10 years. I have not used VGA at home since the very first introduction of DVI. Without having multiple adapters/cables laying around for you to experiment with, and seeing that this is a Samsung, I'd just go with DVI. I've seen just way too many issues with their monitors via both VGA and HDMI while being rarely reported with DVI. With a new cable at about $10, it's certainly worth the money at attempting to save the headaches. They are one of the only monitor manufacturers out there that are still putting out drivers for their monitors when the OS and graphics drivers should have been handling everything for the past 10 years at least. And of course, they only put those drivers out for Windows. (I've got a PM this morning from another member having your same issue, using VGA on a 2 yr old Samdung and can only get it to use the 1024x768.) [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
