| 355180 | 2005-05-14 22:06:00 | Monitor vertical size is squashed and can't be increased , still plenty of black part . On my old monitor which I have been using it fine up to now its vertical size suddenly can not be increased to cover the whole screen . It?s now only cover 2/3 of the screen . There are still plenty of black part left . I try to increase the v . size but the bar is at maximum . Image is squashed vertically . Identify the "vertical size" adjustment potentiometer and use it to attempt to restore the image to full size . If you are unable to restore the vertical output to full strength, send out for repair . After adjusting vertical size, check vertical linear-ity . . pcsupportadvisor . com/Troubleshooting_monitor_problems_page2 . htm" target="_blank">www . pcsupportadvisor . com Sounds I may have to look for another one . Any suggestions on what is causing this or how to rectify it . Much appreciate . |

| 355181 | 2005-05-14 22:13:00 | Change the screen refresh rate to something higher than what it is now . It might be on 60 hertz . Change it to 80-85, if the monitor can handle it . Right mouse/properties/settings/advanced/monitor . If u have installed the videocard drivers . |

| 355182 | 2005-05-14 22:28:00 | It is at 75hz, changed to max 80hz, no improvement. Tried others, no improvement. Changed resolution originally at 1024 x 768 to 800 x 600, some improvement but still not much. Thanks | lightfoot (39) | ||
| 355183 | 2005-05-15 02:40:00 | Sounds as though the vertical deflection output has gone down, possibly a faulty electrolytic capacitor, or bad connection, if changing refresh rate doesnt help, and assuming the video card is ok. Unless monitors are within warranty, it is hardly worth repairing these days. Excellent second hand 17" monitors can be obtained from auctions for about $50 +/-. |

| 355184 | 2005-05-15 04:29:00 | I will change the video card to see what's happening. Yeap, I just switch my monitor off then on again and this happened. Thanks. | lightfoot (39) | ||
