??  It's not as though you have to replace the monitor as
same time as rest of system, usually (unless it were
something ancient and the video card and/or it's driver
simply can't support 22-24" wide screen native resolutions.
Then again, I suppose if you were looking for an OEM package
deal that included a monitor then it might save a little
money to buy all at once, but often the deals are for the
lower end monitors in any size and choosing the upgraded
monitor (same size, or larger, it varies) adds enough to the
cost of the system that it might be as well to just find a
good deal on a separate retail monitor.

Probably resets the defaults, which is certainly something
you should try if you don't mind readjusting the settings
again as you had them previously (if it doesn't solve the
problem, and probably it won't if the monitor had began
distorting like this without any changes to these settings).

Yes that monitor typically cost a lot more than �117 though
I couldn't give an average for your location.
