  Thanks to everyone who replied to my question r.e. my STe booting into high
res when my monitor was plugged in, when I wanted low/med on my TV.
  For anyone who is interested, if pin 4 is low on the monitor port, it boots
into high res, otherwise it boots into low/medium. A simple switch on this
line will solve the problem, but be careful about using the wrong setting with
the wrong screen, as the wrong scan rate could blow it.
  Alternatively you can just buy a monitor switch box from any good dealer for
~15 pounds, which routes the output through two separate plugs, thus avoiding
any danger.
  Thanks again,
                        Jas.
