Two Monitors Problems
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. TIA -- Farhan |

Two Monitors Problems
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'? Mart "Farhan" wrote in message ...

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.
