Just received the monitor tonight and cannot set up until sometime over the next few days...
The first thing I noticed was that the VGA cord is already attached to the monitor port...Is this the way they are shipped? If not, then I could be in for a problem with previously returned unit, etc. In addition, can anyone help as to how do I get my current system to recognize the new Dell as the default monitor? Do I need to disable/uninstall current monitor first? Just plug in the new monitor?Any input would be appreciated...Thanks

It gets packaged with the cable plugged in like that. Just unplug your old monitor, plug in the new one, then install the drivers.
It does? Since when? When I received my new A03 unit, the DVI cable came clearly detached by itself in styraphome wrapping which had 2 zipties on it.... clearly new looking.
I'd say if it's already pre-plugged in your unit, that's a bad sign.
Just run it through the tests thorougly...and if it turns out to work great... then consider yourself lucky and stick with it :)
Also, you should be able to view how long the panel has been turned on for within the controls.
