My Monitor Is Fucking Up!

your monitor is in the process of flat lining

hope you have a back up one kicking around

**GFED** · 08-19-2002, 01:14 AM

How long do you think it'll last?

**Rocky** · 08-19-2002, 01:18 AM

hard to say

is it doing the weird warping effect yet?

or has it ever done that wild looking horizontal line with bizarre pixalations?

i kept fucking around with mine for about a week but it just got progressively worse

and talk about a blow to my manhood

went from an 18" to a 15"

There's a new monitor for you.. less than $1 too..
It's from Canada though.. so its your choice if you wanna take the risk.

I've got a backup... but I'll be going from a 19" to a 13".

It's just shinking and expanding... sometimes it scrambles... If I hit it, it fixes it sometimes for a little bit...

Why? My Amiga used 60hz... What's a higher hz have to do with going blind?

Yeah, it's dying, but don't worry - used monitors are cheap and you should be able to find one the same day your old one bites the dust. That's what I did when my old one suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke.

That sucks... I've always had a problem with Dell monitors... my last one was a 17" and it was about 3 years old (same as this one) when it started to POP everytime I turned it on. Dell Sux... I'm going with the cow computer next time...

3 years sounds like average lifetime of a monitor. Unless you pour water into it, in which case it could be less (tip: don't put flowers that need watering behind your monitor)

**GFED** · 08-19-2002, 01:47 AM

Eh? 3 years for a monitor is it? My RGB is 20 years old and still perrrfect... * * * knock on wood...

**flashfreak** · 08-19-2002, 02:05 AM

don't worry, if you hit it and it fixes -> it has an imperfect electronic contact.
it must be easy for an electronics technician to repair this, I had the same problem...
