Have you ever heard of crippling your hardware to be a solution?


I found a spec sheet here, and it does list two inputs. 5 x BNC and
a VGA connector. So the monitor has two inputs listed.

To use BNC, which has no EDID, you'd need a BNC to VGA. My old Trinitron
came
with such a cable. The cable looks similar to this, with VGA on one end,
and five BNC on the other end, for RGBHV. I didn't realize the P815 was
that old.

Good idea, I forgot about the bnc connectors, I have the cable around
here somewhere. All I crippled was an extra adapter plug I wasn't using
anyway, and I am satisfied with the results so far. The big regret is
the week I burnt up on this. Tech support from evga and nvidia don't
seem to have a clue about this problem. The last thing I got from them
was they wanted to rma the card.

Media player and media center won't play a dvd because of this hack (I
think), but I have something else for that.
