[NTLUG:Discuss] Flat Panel TV as Monitor

[David Simmons]

Sounds to me like you might have multiple monitor connections on that
machine....after post - it's changing and using one of the other
connections.  Un-plug the current - and plug in the other one just
until you fix the config issue.

May not be totally it - but
it's cheap and easy to test?
