Over the last month or so...I noticed my Monitor would be slow to boot and some times would get a black screen for about 2 minutes...then show the Login screen.

Sometimes upon starting I'd hear like a knocking sound...of cause I could blame Linux as many would but as the Monitor was more than 12 years old...I knew it was time to replace it.

My...have times changed...new Monitor came with a HDMI cable only...old one was VGA only ( no HDMI port)...new Monitor does have a VGA port and I do have the old VGA cable but I discovered something I didn't know...my 9 year old Tower has a HDMI port...so I plugged in the HDMI cable and it works great.
