deanco Posted November 25, 2000 Share Posted November 25, 2000 Not strictly CM but I figure what the heck, I play CM. My monitor has ghost artifacts running vertically across the screen with any application, under any drivers, etc. The display also dims from time to time, and the fonts look sort of embossed too. Anybody have a clue what this is? I'm right in the middle on another interface mod, and I could use an accurate monitor. How much longer will she live, Doc?? Give it to me straight!

eba Posted November 26, 2000 Share Posted November 26, 2000 If all your connections are tight and you're not getting electrical interference from something, I'd guess your monitor is dying. I recently had a similar problem with my three-year-old Viewsonic -- horizontal lines starting on the left-hand side of the screen, growing and moving to the right over time. My problem, too, occurred regardless of application or drivers. I also switched out my graphics card for an older one I had lying around just to make sure that wasn't the problem. Maybe I was just looking for an excuse to get a new monitor, but that's what I did. Good luck. By the way, I really like your work. Between Kump and you, I'm now a "realism" convert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanco Posted November 26, 2000 Author Share Posted November 26, 2000 eba, Thanks for the info. I'm glad I asked before reinstalling Windows and that sort of stuff. My monitor is less than a year old so I think the store will fix it or give me a new one...it just has to last till Tuesday morning! Thanks for the kind words too. I have another interface almost ready to publish, and I think it's my best work yet. So stay tuned! DeanCo-- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
