View Full Version : Think my monitor's just died.

Thankfully, this is on an old computer, not my new one.

It's an LG CRT 17" Monitor. Went to turn it on today, and heard a crackle. Within about a second, the visible display shrunk, so now my picture on that monitor is only around 300px wide, at the most. Also, because of this, the screen's output is crossed over, and is unusable.

I've checked a few forums, all seem to say it's time to send the monitor to the skip, just wondering if that's the general opinion here?

Cheers.

It is time to junk that one.

You can buy a replacement CRT fairly cheaply.

Yeah trash it. If your monitor is doing crazy crap like that, don't bother trying to fix it.
