Sascha: Interesting cut down of your post The reason I thought it might be the graphics card is because it is graphics corruption. I got the corruption, I hooked up the wife's laptop on VGA, it didn't have corruption, I skipped back to the DVI and got the corruption so I thought I could rule out the monitor. I also checked whether it was just the DVI by using the computer's VGA, but I still got the "incorrect resolution" message and so ruled out just the DVI.
The monitor was the next thing I was going to check tonight. Luckily we've got another computer in the house, so I'll check that first.
Xemanth: I had an Aspire laptop, so I'm guessing that isn't entirely relevant. Unless of course you managed to track down the cause to display or graphics card.
[edit] From the looks of it I'll be shelling out about the same for a new monitor as I would for bottom of the range-ish replacement motherboard/processor/memory if it is the monitor that's going. Typical!
