Don, Brecchia,

Thanks for your replies.

While Windows indicated that it replaced the driver with the one
provided by the monitor manufacturer (Samsung), when I go into
Device Manager, it still indicates that MSFT is the driver provider for
my monitor; and the problem hasn't cleared up.

i.e. Location is shown as: on Microsoft Basic Display Driver
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\monitor.sys

I thought I'd replaced it with:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\drivers\color\smp2370.icm

This feels like a software problem. If HW, I would have expected
a complete failure, not just lopping off the highest resolutions.

I'll probably do full scans with Spybot and Malwarebytes, but I doubt
that I'll find anything.
