Colour Fade on Monitor

« on: September 02, 2009, 12:11:00 PM »

Recently the colour has been intermittently fading, the blue on the side sliding bar almost disappears. I've check the connections, all seem ok.

Not sure what else I need to check. Perhaps its just the Monitor showing signs its about to expire.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tonji.

Usually this. If you're looking for a new one, this one is pretty special for the money.

Seconded (the Samsung). I have the 24" (brag post obv) and have colour calibration software/hardware to sort out the colours and it's amazing. Shows my photos off really good.

Yep, guess I gotta buy a new one (sigh). Had this old lump of a monitor for 8 years or so. I really hate change, so much faffing around!

What's the most reliable brand? I've got Dell at the moment.

Cheers.

Thanks, but they look too balla, just the basic, no bells & whistles type, will do me

Acer CrystalBrite P193WX 19'' Widescreen LCD Monitor, looks the job.

I've found switching it on & off seems to reset the colour ok.

Cheers all.

fantastic. the only computer help thread ever to appear on blonde where someone hasn't suggested turning it off and then back on and it turns out to be the only computer help thread ever on blonde where that was in fact the solution
