      I't seems to stabilize for a couple of seconds when I Degause it....

      Now it's perfectly fine and be that for a month or so.......

      Untill next time....

      I don't think it is computer related because it has stayed even thou I have completly changed every part in my computer several times since i saw it the first time...


      Will check if a hit in the side will work (LOL )

        A lot of older monitors will go crazy until they "warm up". I have a monitor that smears like crazy for about 6 minutes, then is bright and clear once it gets going. The monitor is 4 years old, and I've used it heavily: no screen burns or dead spots, but it is starting to show it's age.

        Check your monitor cable for a bent pin in the connector, either at the back of the monitor or where it plugs into your videocard. Loose cables are not good, either

        Also, it can make a big difference which way the monitor cable is run: the RFI suppressor on one end of the cable should be the one run to the monitor most of the time. Also, make sure your power cable to the monitor is in good shape.

          None of which will effect his monitor in the manner which he has stated (other than age).

          Indicates a power supply related problem. The reason I suggested popping it on the side, is because alot of times a bad solder connection at fault in these kind of problems, especially true in inrequent interwalls.

                  Is my wording so bad that it's hard to understand what I am trying to tell??

                  Or is it just the fact that my fingers are not QWERTY compatible

                  back to the piont...

                  The cable has two RFI suppressors, one in every end.

                  the monitor is a Leoptics Comfortview 17cp. 17' screen.
                  Max resolution 1280*1024 at 60Hz

                  works best at 1024*768@85Hz.

                  Very sharp picture.

                    Technoid,
                    I have a monitor that does the exact same thing, it's a Smile 19" .25, I've been thinking it may be heat related.

                    It sometimes makes a very scary "pop" or "crackling" noise when it happens.

                      Might be, it was as it worst when I had a Classic Athlon 900!

                      and boy that cpu could heat up a room in seconds

                        Sounds like ti could be a bad solder joint as Greebe described which can cause your gun to arc a bolt of electricity This would explain the events listed above.

                          sorry if I sounded a little snotty. Pretty tired at the time. Also, I see this sort of thing here sometimes, some guy is pickin on a non english speaking person for thier less than perfect english. I don't think that is all that nice. But in this case I failed to see that this was a long time person here, and just joking. Once again, I am sorry.

                          PS, I got a message saying that I had a personal message from Greebe, but when I hit the link, there was no message there. In light of my little oopsy, maybe it is better that I didnt get the message. Or maybe I "got the message", just not in private

                            Well I just got back online after a concentrator at my CO died this afternoon.

                            Anywho...

                            @Technoid, you're doing just fine guy... keep it coming! I read it as you intended, just that it brought a smile to my face like Albequerky did in another post not so long ago.

                            @Bohrn, I do not attack anyone about how they spell or would write in their native tongue due to the language barrier that exists between all of us.
                            The message I sent you read...
                            Are you trying to be a smart guy or something actually relevent?
                            If your trying to make a point then make it.
                            Yes this was a defensive posture on my part cause Technoid nor anyone else until the moment you appeared to be on the rag about it... I even posted a smiley at the end to reflect it touched me funny bone.

                            Lets leave this as it now sits and let bygones be bygones!

                              hehe, just a little misunderstanding and a fatigue induced over-reaction on my part. Like I said,if I would have seen that it was you that wrote it (long time person and all)I would not have said anything, as you aren't like that.

                              And the Albert-turkey issue was on purpose, Was in a silly mood, that was obviously appreciated by all One of the reasons I still come here, (besides the excellent tech help), is to share in the general sillyness

                              And more to the point, Technoid, did ya get your monitor to, ahem, pardon the pun, clear up?? I hope so, they are a pain in the bum. I had one that had to go for warranty, and the 60hz, 14inch, .28 dp cheapy they let me use REALLY was ugly. hope you do ok with it.
