| I have a rectangular moniter, and the problem that started a few days ago is that the lettering, and pics all seem to be washing/ghosting for lack of a better discription to the right of said letters and pics. How do I fix it? |

Unplug it, plug it back in. That will reset the "controls".
Then use the various buttons and dials and whatnot to experiment with the settings. Make sure you do not have a large magnetic source nearby, including coils of electrified wire, speakers, headphones (big ones), cell phones, wireless home phones, etc. The ion gun in the tube uses magnetic fields to fire in the right direction, and further magnetic fields will cause some of the ions to hit the wrong place in the tube. It could be simply trashed. If it's a CRT, it's getting old now. Consider upgrading to a more energy efficient, better quality, lighter and smaller flat screen LCD. Decent ones are CHEAP now. |

How do I fix it? Throw it out the window, replace with LCD. Fixed!  Seriously, repairing a CRT will cost more than a nice widescreen LCD costs. |

There's a fairly good chance the the power supply capacitors are due for replacing, whether the unit is an LCD monitor or a CRT monitor. I for one haven't given up my CRTs and will not be doing so any time soon. I run dual 20" Suns (Sony manufactured) on my PCs and I have a small stash of spare monitors of the same type in the event that one craps. I don't like fixed pixel displays. And I can run at 2048x1536. Let's see your LCD monitor do that! CJ |
