Over a year ago I picked up this Hp Pavilion 27xi monitor from in front of the local E waste place. I initially thought that I got lucky; I took it home and plugged it in, and it looked great! As time went on, I realized why it had been left there. After it has been left on for some length of time, it will lose the resolution, and revert to something like 800x600 (native is 1920x1080). To be clear, the set resolution isn't changed, just the effective resolution. If you power cycle it, it will return to normal for a while, but the problem always returns. Because it was a cheap and easy thing to do, I replaced the capacitors on the mainboard, but that changed nothing. There are some people on this forum whose knowledge of electronics and troubleshooting far outstrips my own, I'm hoping they could guide me in the right direction.
