Trouble for dual monitor setup

HP 2159m Black 21.5" 5ms, 3ms(GTG) HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 1000:1 Built in Speakers

Pros: Looked great as a single monitor via DVI, awesome tech support

Cons: I'm not exactly sure, still, what the issue was, but, basically, the monitor wouldn't detect properly as a second monitor no matter what settings were used on any of the digital source options (DVI, HDMI) and on VGA would only show up at 768 resolution. I spent hours with the HP techs, and they were baffled, blaming the video card. But it's a new ATI Radeon, up-to-date drivers, and it works flawlessly with the comparable Dell monitor I replaced this with.

Overall Review: As a stand-alone monitor it seemed fine, but there's definitely something odd going on with its ability to be detected properly. There's a hundred similarly spec-ed and priced monitors out there, I'd avoid this one.
