ID Micron Monitor?

Looking for help ID'ing the actual manufacturer of a Micron-badged CRT monitor. Model says "Micron 700FGx" on the label, then in print, "Model No.: RM07L11." Windows XP detected it as "Plug & Play Monitor", but I'd like to set the correct driver for the make. It was bought for 10 bucks @ Goodwill. :)

Betamaxster,
Is the monitor working? Then forget about it.
This LCD I'm using right now cost me $430. It is detected as 'Plug & Play'
That's how a lot of monitors are. Don't worry about it.

You could try using Belarc, found here http://www.belarc.com it is used to identify hardware, and other things. Not sure if it will give you any more info than you already have, but it is worth a try, it`s free.

Yeah, it works. Can't go wrong; 17" monitor for $10. Not too crazy about LCD's. Most of those I previewed had very fuzzy pictures, particularly around text.
