*Disclaimer* I know most of you don't like 60 in 1s and I know almost all of you hate LCD monitors. This is not a post about the merits of either.

I buy 60 in 1s pretty frequently, but in my last 2 batches, my monitors have started displaying "No signal".

I have done troubleshooting and decided that LCD manufacturers *MAY* be phasing out support of the 640X400 resolution (not 640X480, the 60 in 1 is 640X400 or something less)

Has anyone else ran into this? I have a test card (60 in 1b)that I use, which is from 2009 and works fine, but all the recent 60 in 1s don't work.

Weird stuff, but pretty frustrating considering 2 out of the 3 models I use no longer work with 60 in 1 cards.....

So far here is my experience:

I-Inc iH191ABB (19")- worked until last order, no longer works (no picture, but does not say "no signal") Cost is $129

Hanns-G HH193DPB (19")- Has worked with all cards, but cost is $149

Acer v193 Djb (19")- Worked with everything so far - just odered another to test with
current batch of cards, will know more next week. Cost is $129

Acer v193 Djbm (19")- Same as other Acer execpt included internal speaker. DOES NOT WORK - "No Signal". Cost is $119
 
640 x 480 or less is a pretty archaic resolution to support for a brand new, widescreen monitor. This looks like a similar problem that people are having with running Golden Tee to an LCD. I never have a problem running either to old, boat anchor CRT VGA monitors.
 
The monitors I listed are all 5:4 not 16:9 but I get you are saying.
