My monitor is dieing

Post by Vindicator »

GRRRRR, sometimes I notice that it lightens or darkens its luminosity...and now...when i look in the lower right corner, i can see an ever so faint greenish menace starting to claim my once proud 21" monitor. I bought this baby a few years ago for sro...went from 16" to 21 O_O and i loved it. But pretty soon it will be useless. Anyone have good sugesstions for a new one? :banghead:

I remember a pic dom posted of his super sexy set up, and i might cry if he posts it again cuz that shit is hot

Buy a new one thats just like yours, place your old one in the case, and say its broken. Get a refund. :wink:

Just a suggestion.

Then they check serial numbers and you go to jail for fraud.

The serial numbers are stickers, you can just take the one off that moniter, and replace it with the new one.

If that doesn't work, just say it was your friends, and blame it all on him. He just moved to Mexico too, 1 way trip.

LEAVE NOELLE ALONE!

Anyway, I'd say it is your connection to your video card but that "green menace" makes me doubt it. I know that with one of my monitors at least, the DVI to VGA adapter is funky so it flickers every once in a while. That, and I've got a dead pixel... On a farking CRT. :banghead:

I got the Samsung 223CW 23" to replace my 21" CRT (which still worked i just wanted to upgrade). I have had it for over a year now and it makes a great gaming monitor with a 2 ms response time.

EDIT:I was at work when i made this post, the correct model is 226BW

If you're going with LCD try to get something with low "dead pixel warranty" or whatever you call it, like Phillips.

first I read:

"My mother is dieing"...

later I read:

"My mentor is dieing"...

And now is your monitor dieing...

Well, Just slap it, she'll like it....

But if she needs a softer touch, use a feather to slap her...

Lol Quagmire.

How big is your monitor? If it's the 19" then i might get it
Contrast Ratio (what does this do anyways?)?
Response Time?
Glossy Screen?
