There is too high signal frequency for usual vga cable. If hdmi is an option consider at least to check it. Ask someone for a cable "just to check" and i think that hdmi cable resolve you issue/trouble. > > HP doesn't offer a driver but I'll try xorg. I hate to be such such meticulous, but have to note, that when videocard try to detect monitor when link appears up and carrier signal is on it query monitor for some info and then, transfer answer to video driver. this protocol is used on hardware level and many vendors have "dirty" implementation of it. So you need support for this answer on driver side. > This is actually a very nice LED. I'm a photographer and the backlit > IPS is great for photo editing.
