My Monitor is Dying

I have an older SONY 19" and I really do love it, but the picture is fading
all the colors out. Not to mention I now see a set of lines running down
the picture, right where it's really annoying me.

*sigh* time to look for a new one I guess.

time to play with your baseball bat..

if it gets that bad, I'll definitely get midieval on it. know the scene from
office space with the fax machine?

pictures!

Omg, that fax machine scene was so funny! I luv office space! Well, a monitor isnt that big of a deal..... I mean its not the main part of ur comp or nething.

I had a beautiful 21’ monitor with wonderful colors showing through. Although I got it cheap at some computer show, and I knew it was a gamble. The reason it was so cheap was because it took a tad bit to warm up and it would look funky for a bit. But it looked great otherwise. Sadly a year and a half later the back melted out, and I’m back to a 19’. Ah well. But before it totally died, it also like lines running down, and it would sort of turn on and off really quick.

So if it's possible, get it check out, it might only get worse.

My monitor did that for awhile too. It got pretty bad at one point as lightning streaks start coming out of it and shooting all across the screen. That was a bit freaky so I got a new monitor and have been happy ever since. (I have a LCD monitor now).

I use a 17' LCD monitor (Im thinking of getting a bigger one soon). Ive never really had a monitor die out on me before, but this monitor is beginning to slip a bit.... like once a day randomly itll go black and say lEnergy conserve Model which it was only supposed to do if I was idol for like 1hour.... Id throw it away and buy another but im flat broke I just suped up my comp....

18.1" Dell FP1800 LCD here... AB-SO-LUTELY love it

I am looking at a 46" Gateway Plasma Display for ONLY $3,799.99...

Now, it is kinda sad when you spend more on your monitor than you do your computer.. Kinda one of thoughs things when your house catches fire you are like "F$#K the computer! Grab the monitor!!!"

Really for a 46" that is kinda cheap..

but it's gateway

Gateway is well known for that Plasma screen, it's supposed to be one of the best out there. I just got a nice deal on my new monitor. 19" Viewsonic for only $155, it's refurbished, but hey, it still has the same warrenty and is from a licensed reseller.

You can always have some fun with it. Try using it as a stress reliever. Whenever ure mad, get a sledgehammer and crush it.

Hahaha speaking of stress reliever, my friend was pissed when i was at his house, so he shot off a fire extinguisher in his backyard then clamped the handle so it stays open and took a hammer to it. Then he threw it on the ground a couple of times, rolled it around, ya know, just beat the h$ll out of it. I also go to throw it a couple of times, it's fun.

Have any of you ever seen on of those homemade fresnel screen projector things in action, according to the website I saw (I forget the URL) you just stick a couple of cardboard boxes together, paint them black, fit the fresnel screen to to it and attatch it to your monitor/portable tv set then flip your monitor upside down and point at a white wall and Bobs your uncle you can project an image up to 100" in size. Thats the theory anyway.
