Thought I might chime in here, as I had a this problem with an external Samsung wide screen. I don't know if this was already mentioned in this thread as I have not read most of it but for me it worked to just delete/deinstall the Monitor (which I think is a horrendous choice of words) and then just plug it back in. After that it worked. It might also be necessary to do a quick reboot.
Hope this might help some of you.
