I finally found out what was causing the trouble, and once I did, it was trivial to fix. Normally, I'd explain what was needed so that others could benefit from my experience, but considering that your suggestion was quite literally worse than useless, I think I'm going to make an exception.
I found the solution to be...... simply disconnect the display cable (VGA, Display port, whatever) wait a moment, and plug it back in. For some reason it gets stuck in an incorrect resolution and by "asking" it to auto-select the input again, it'll resolve the issue.

Hope that helps someone in the future.

I see nothing there relevant to my monitor, or to Fedora Linux, which is what I use. Thanx anyway.
