I contacted Benq support about the XL2410T and got these specs
Resolution Pixel clock H-sync V-sync H-sync (unit:pixel) Display (unit:pixel)
480i 13.5 15.734 60 858 720
576i 13.5 15.625 50 864 720
640x480p 25.175 31.468 59.94 800 640
So perhaps the Thread starter had a faulty videoport ? or something else ?
the monitor seems to support both ntsc and pal tv modes..
