| 698714 | 2008-08-19 11:00:00 | Hi, Im currently running 2 monitors, 1 wide screen and 1 normal. I get around 20 dead pixels in colours of red green and blue spread across the screen, whenever something is dark coloured on screen. The pixels are in the same positions on both screens. Can anyone tell me whats wrong or how to get rid of them? Windows xp Asus motherboard but not sure of the model 1gb ram geforce 7900 GT Monitors are both lcd and on DVI cables Thanks in advance. |

| 698717 | 2008-08-22 14:50:00 | are the dead/stuck pixels in the exact same places? that would indicate a dodgy bit of common wiring somewhere couldn't hurt to try a different monitor though |

| 698718 | 2008-08-22 23:04:00 | It's something to do with the signal going into them, if both monitors do exactly the same thing. Considering they are different, one widescreen, one not. It could be your video card is faulty, or your cable is faulty (or has a bad connection) - DVI is more likely to have noticeable problems than VGA if there's something a bit wrong. Or perhaps some nice person has put a joke program on your PC which is designed to make you think your monitor is broken. Not completely sure of this, but it's a possibility.. |
