Whats a HDMI monitor??



HDMI is a video connection type. It is used primarily for High Definition media (1080p). It's the new standard for Blu-Ray Disk, HDTV, etc. Many modern computer monitors have HDMI ports on them. :)

Did the fix - removing the menu button -- work for you in the long run? I'd like to know because I just got one of these monitors on the cheap, and would be happy if I can fix it with a simple operation.

After cutting out the Menu button -- did the monitor require any downloaded drivers, etc, to run, or only to adjust settings? Thanks again.

This is a followup to my own posted question of a few days ago. I removed the "Menu" button - not just the plastic cover, but the whole works. And now the monitor works great. It's been several days now, so I have no doubt about the success of this method.

So, if you have a monitor of this value, just pry off the "Menu" button cover, then take a needlenose pliers and grasp the button inside, actually not just the button itself but the whole module that includes it, and pull hard, like you're extracting a tooth. It will come out cleanly and you'll have a fine monitor after that.
