I hope he has a known-good monitor plus the new monitor
connected at the same time, so he can test that way.

It's possible this is the computer with the two vid cards.

No, this is mini-motherboard machine with an Intel core-3 processor
with one spare PCIe slot carrying a TBS-6280 DVB-T2 TV card. Onboards
graphics only.

Three years ago it set up with a Samsung smart TV as irs monitor.
It was mothballed two years ao when we downsized.

I have just (almost) completed building furniture and so it has been
reterieved from its wrapping.

The thing is, the operating system is dated and needs replacing.
SWMBO likes to watch TV so I bought the mini-monitor.

Tomorrow afternoon though I should be able to test it using the TV as
the govenor will be out, before re-introducing the mini-monitor.
