My computer screen keeps going blurry on me. so i turn it off and back on again and its fine. then it goes blurry again about 5-10mins later. any ideas as to what's going on?

 

How many are you drinking in the 5 - 10 minutes until the screen goes blurry...

 

Ok, that was mean, but funny...

How old is your monitor? Maybe the tube is going out.

 

Start checking the sales ads for new monitors. Yours is going to quit on you after all the sales are over, and when the stores are closed for the evening.

 

You could try a degauss.

 

01 XLT Sport,

hahahaha. i dont drink. im only 17. plus its 11:30 in the morning too (dumb excuse). the monitor is a couple years old.


Andthensometoo,

ill start looking


flafonman,

when it blurs out again ill try it and get back to you





thanks for all the quick responses guys!

 

Here is another question.

Do you have any other elelctric devices close to the monitor, like a stero, microwave etc? That may cause some problems.

 

uh....force feedback joystick, speakers, worklight, scanner, cordless phone, nuclear device.....nope nothing that you mentioned.

i just degaussed it and it went back to normal

 

CORDLESS PHONE!!! Get that sucker away. I don't know what kind of monitor but I have a flat pannel and those things will tear mine apart if I'm not careful.

 

hmm...it seems to be fine now...odd

 

If the degaus works only for a little while you might want to look at getting a new monitor. A lot of times degausing will cure distortions. The cordless phone you would probably be able to tell if it was a problem when it rings. The only other thing is the speakers, they usually leave funky colors around the areas where they are near. Normal computer speakers won't do that though, only big magnet speakers.

 

we have computer speakers. we also have a subwoofer down below the computer but its a safe distance away.

 

My old monitor used to blank out on me until I realized that it wasnt plugged in all the way? Check your plugs.

 

I had a monitor that would do that until you changed the screen size to 800 x 600. Your monitor is probably going bad. Before I threw the thing away I set a 12 inch subwoofer on top it. The screen turned all sorts of pretty colors.

 

thats no excuse
