well after unplugging and plugging back in my old monitor, i got all the windows and stuff on it. now i just have to take back the Gateway....

thanks for the help everyone...
 
I have this monitor, and it works beautifully.

It only has one problem: It is too bright, so I have to use a third-party app to turn down the brightness, since the Mac OS does not have a way to adjust brightness for external displays.
