Are we setup for disappointment from the beginning? The first years of your life, you are told about the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, Easter bunny etc… then at some point you learn or are told that it is not real, at least not real in the sense of how it was portrayed to you. How many times...

A good test might be to take the rest of the week off and see what emotions get stirred up.

I also have Nvidia digital cards and 3 monitors. See if there is a manual way to set whether the input is analog or digital on the monitors, that was my problem. ALso as the above poster mentioned do a little switch and see if it happens on the other monitors. Try the other head output on...

That is a fantastic quote, goes hand in hand with "doing the same thing and expecting different results. If you can align with this statement " the mind that conceives war cannot conceive peace" To me all that means is that 2 polar opposite view points cannot exist at the same time in the...
