| 412279 | 2005-12-15 09:32:00 | I am now using the monito and have changed the gamma settings from the monitor/video card properties in display/advanced. Will the monitor last, and can it be safely used. Is there any chance of it being a video card problem? Cheers :) | zahmad (8963) | ||
| 412280 | 2005-12-15 09:59:00 | I heard of one guy who got pregnent from using a faulty monitor, He denied thats how it happened but the doctor said he was askin for trouble by blaming the video card. | Metla (12) | ||

It is a very old monitor and has probably just had the electronic equivalent of a heart attack. This: P.S. The screen was everywhere....size and shape all wrong is the biggest clue. There is only one practical thing you can do, and that is try it on another computer just to reassure yourself that it really is stuffed. As others have pointed out, a much better and bigger second-hand monitor can be bought for peanuts now. Cheers Billy 8-{)Billy T, Ok then, if you want to insist that the monitor "just had the electronic equivalent of a heart attack", and that no further use can be gotten from it by making sure everthing is updatedl drivers/firmware, etc., and/or using www.fsc-soft.com (AGC = Advanced Gamma Corrector) to change the gamma settings, as I suggested in my first post, then I won't argue with you. |

| 412284 | 2005-12-16 00:22:00 | I used the Gamma tool, and got it to be as good as it can get, not like it was before though :(, but anyway, it's 3 years old, and frankly, i'm going to build a new computer, which is 100X better than the crap I have, so therfore not bothering to get a new monitor :). Thanks to all of you for your help.......and don't fight guys......be friends. Anyhow, does anyone know how much I can sell my current comp for? |

Will the monitor last, and can it be safely used. Is there any chance of it being a video card problem? Cheers :) If what I think has happened internally is correct, there is some risk that it may catch fire if used for an extended period of time. Obviously I cannot be sure without looking inside, but if the brightness and contrast controls still operate (albeit with the screen image too dark) then that only leaves one part of the electronics that is capable of distorting the image during the actual failure then leaving the image geometry normal but the screen too dark. If you continue to use it, I strongly recommend that you turn it off when not in the room because there is a small but very definite risk of fire. If building a new computer, why not buy your new monitor first? Re the video card problem, I already recommended that you try it on another computer to eliminate that possibility, however remote it might be. We are all able to learn something new so it is worth a try. You might see a slight difference due to different video drive conditions, but only a return to full glory would prove it to be the VC.
