Mart, Thanx for response

Yes PC is the same.

Philips 7CM5299/89T:
"Tapping" happened co-incidently and its not rapairing it rather it comes
back (as i mentioned). And cable connectors are all OK.

DELL D1028LR:
Lastly Someone gave it to me free. Sorry for using word "Purchased". It
was
working fine till now. It did it again as i am typing this.

Thanx anyways

| I suspect that you may have already guessed the answer.
|
| As the two monitors appear to display completely different symptoms, the
| that seems to eliminate your PC and video card - assuming that these
| conditions apply on the same PC (You didn't confirm)
|
|| 1- Philips 7CM5299/89T
|| Sometimes a tap on the monitor clears it
|
| Confirm that the Video cable connectors aren't damaged and are secure,
| (although you should have already confirmed that by transposing the two
| monitors) but problem more likely an 'age/heat-related' dry joint
| (oxidation) in the monitor. Tapping the monitor is a pretty good clue.
Not a
| lot the 'user' can do to repair it. Might even be 'beyond economic
repair' -
| That's a call between your wallet and the local TV repair man.
|
|| 2- DELL D1028LR
|
| Same applies to this one too. Second hand? If a bargain price, it does
| make you wonder why and perhaps a lesson to be learnt? Any recourse
back
| with the 'seller'?

|| I am having two different problems with two different monitors.
||
|| 1- Philips 7CM5299/89T
|| A shiny line appears at the bottom (where the task bar is) of the
screen.
|| Sometimes a tap on the monitor clears it but it comes back after some
|| time.
|| Sometimes it comes quite frequently and sometimes it takes time to
|| (re)appear.
||
|| 2- DELL D1028LR
|| I recently purchased this (used) monitor. It was working fine for month
or
|| so. But for last 4/5 days its screen gets bigger (about 5%) and than
|| slowly
|| comes back to its position. At the time of the problem, picture goes
some
|| what black, colors increased. Is heat the cause as it is about 45C
here.
I
|| also use TV Tuner which worked fine for last five years on above
(Philips)
|| computer.
