Strange delay. Ever since I bought my Gateway pc, the monitor has a strange delay every time I turn it on. When I hit the power button the Gateway symbol pops up then fades away, but not all the way. You can still barely see the symbol then it stays there for sometimes a full minute. When it finally turns on, the VGA notice pops up and THAT stays up for another minute. Now, I brought my machine over to my girlfriends about two weeks ago and it seemed to be fixed. Two weeks pass and the delay started up again. What do I do?

THANKS WAS "RACKING "MY BRAIN TRYING TO FIND SOME KINDA FIX!

Ditto with FPD2485W monitor. Thanks for the unplugging solution, but yeah, hope we find a permanent solution

I have the same problem as well.... unplugging definitely helps. But we shouldn't have to unplug the monitor every 2 weeks. Have you found any updates on this problem? I imagine there are several of us out there...

I'm having the exact same strange delay problem as you.
I fixed my delay when I too took my machine to your girlfriends. LOL!

No seriously.... you solved your delay problem yourself when you UNPLUGGED the power cord from the back of the monitor.

My guess is that when you unplug the power cord, the monitor resets itself. It's only a temporary fix, but, IT WORKS.

1. Turn the monitor OFF
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor
3. Wait 10-15 seconds or so
4. Plug the power cord back in
5. Turn your monitor ON........DELAY ELIMINATED.

The delay returns eventually, but, I just unplug-n-replug and I'm good to go again.
