   The problem isn't in the analog or digital or any of the other 
connections.  I had the same setup with the ATI VGA Wonder and the 
Multisync I.  The Multi 1 cannot autosize, which is what the 2A, 3D and 
the rest of the NEC line do.  You have to manually adjust the monitor for 
each mode, which is the main reason why I went to the 3D, despite the 
grave damage it did to my wallet for the next four months.

   Autosizing in the new NEC's means that the monitor senses what type 
signal is coming in (800x600, 320x200, whatever) and automatically sets 
it's horizontal sync signal to present the proper framing. The Multisync 
doesn't have the necessary circuitry to do this.
