Help with LCD Display Problem (1/23/13 - Parallel Monitors Tested)

Pages: << < (3/4) > >>

It's strange because the problem disappeared for at least 10 hours of playtime.

TOK:

The first thing I'd do is hook up a spare monitor and make sure its actually the LCD... That's a weird looking issue, and I'm having a tough time telling if its the video card or your monitor causing that.

Yep - hook up another display in parallel and see if it happens to both.  Easy way to rule out 1 or the other.

CWorley:

Thanks guys!  I'll try the parallel monitors and see what happens.

I was finally able to find some time to hook up another monitor in parallel.  The problem only appeared on the original monitor.  It would appear then that I have a malfunctioning monitor.  Two questions:

First, is there anything I should do with the monitor to try and fix it or should I just replace it?

Second, does anyone know how close the Dell 2001fp and Dell 2007fp are physically?  The top of cabinet has a cutout for the 2007, but the 2001 would be cheaper to purchase.  It looks like they're very similar.

Cheers!
