I don't have any experience with these monitors, but most monitors have a power indicator of some sort (regardless if a computer is connected or not). Several that I've used has the power light as orange when powered but sans video input, and will turn green once a vid signal is received from the computer.
It seems to me that if you plug in a monitor and punch the power button, even if not connected to a computer, you should still have some indication of life, usually an LED indicator, at least some noise as the flyback transformer begins to whine a bit. IMHO, if you plug in a lone monitor, turn it on, and have no indication that there is life, then it's probably DOA, likely a power supply problem. >> ...When I attached the monitor to my Beige I had >> no response when I hit the power button on the monitor.
