i dunno what is happening but my monitor just keeps flickering and the picture gets bigger and gradually gets back to regular size. Sometimes its a loud flicker. One time the monitor just shut off completely and i had to shut off my computer and turn it back on.
What could be the problem?
Thanks
This is a micronpc.com branded sony triniton monitor, not vary old bought in 2001

    Your monitor is dead. No cable, computer, or software problem would cause that. You need to RMA that sucker. Is it still under warranty?

    Like its degausing itself, but all the time and randomly.....

    The 4yr old monitor downstairs started doing it and within a week it was dead.

    Mine has started sort of flicking between widescreen and normal but not very often, and also getting some strange lines moving about on the screen too......

    Maybe there is something going round......

    well i talked to best buy and they gave me some bullcrap about 100 dollars to fix it. i said what the heck and bought a new viewsonic a90f+ for 220.
    Its a great monitor but not as good quality with colors and detail as my old sony. :(
    O well
    Thanks for the help.

    do you have a cell phone near it? Try putting your cell phone near it and call it see if it does the same thing. Cell phones do that to monitors. Otherwise it could be on its last leg.
