sapins Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hi all,When I switch on the computer the monitor has a 3cm wide Black band down each side which slowly disappear after about ten minutes, then the display is OK, the monitors 3yr. guarantee runs out next month. Is the problem with the monitor or could it be the graphics card? This has only started recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I once had an identical problem with an LG CRT monitor which was found to be the culprit. I still have the same graphics card - but now driving an LG LCD monitor without problems.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 To add to my story - they exchanged it under warranty and the second (reconditioned) monitor developed a similar fault - but this time it "flicked" wide and narrow continuously after about an hours use.The next warranty exchange went OK for a few weeks - but then became distorted across the width of the screen - the third exchange was OK - but this one failed about 6 months out of warranty. So I bought a LCD replacement.Hope you have a better experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zizzer Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 It sounds like the horizontal output is going, or the caps associated with it; it is what controls the size of the screen side to side. Generally with this condition it will continue to degrade until you are left with only a single vertical line. It could be anything from weak solder connections to bad filter caps. I would definitely recommend sending it in for repair unless you are comfortable with monitor/tv repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking it in tomorrow or Tuesday and I will post back with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I had one of these. It died suddenly after about six months of use. Got it replaced from the UK sales agents and the new one has run OK ever since - on almost 24/7 for about 18 - 24 months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapins Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Update:I phoned Hyundai 11am today and they phoned back at 3pm to say they are sending a replacement this Friday.Considering I have had it 2yrs and eleven months this is pretty good service .

sapins Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Er! the first replacement wasn't a brand new one, when I checked it was made in 2002, anyway another one arrived this afternoon and is working OK, this one was made in 2004.Full credit to Hyundai for their support.

sapins Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well, all is not as it should be, yesterday the monitor was working fine, today, as I hope the attached screen shot will show, the colour is all to pot. It shows Green down the left hand side and purple down the right. I have not altered any settings since I got the replacement so any ideas what might be causing the colour imbalance?

rong Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 It doesn't show in the screen shot, looks normal to me. Can you try a different graphics card, if it's the same then you can get another replacement monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rong Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I just copped it into a photo editor and still cant see the problem. Not being an expert on this, but as your screen shot is allright away from your monitor I would think you have another bad monitor. The only other thing is are there any magnets (speakers) at the sides of your monitor that could be affecting it. I know this used to be a problem.

I know this used to be a problem.I do have speakers at the side of the monitor but they have always been there, I'll try moving them .Just to make it very clear, when I click on the desktop image it opens in a new window, if I then click on F11 in that window I can see the problem with the colours.
