I just noticed the last few days my screen is shaking a bit. On the left hand side...does this mean it's dieing or what? It seems to only do it in windows, and not during games, but it could be my terrible eye sight lying to me, or denial..help please.

I had same problem, but it took a while for monitor to finally die. :blink: :D

A good excuse to get flat screen. ;)

Hmmm.....I've seen that before.

Possibly intense magnetic field in near vicinity.
Tried degaussing? Or is it one of those older things that didn't have degauss?

Of course, it's possible that the thing is actually dying down, but as Anubis said it usually takes them a while from first symptoms to reaching an official junk status.

Speakers and/or transformers are the most common causes..

You don't happen to have any wires with transformers on within say 50-70 cm from the BACK of your screen?

Oh.. and for god sake, do NOT listen to Indignus IV's "advice", as this might harm the monitors allignment permanently.

I had couple of monitors with simillar problems, but as they were under warranty (at work) I was able to replace them. KDS monitors seems t be bad product.... :blink:

my other screen for a while had a horrid purple patch in the top left corner. degaussing it only cleared it for a new seconds. its got better over time. or I dont notice anymore.. I cant remember :blink:

my screen on my main pc philips 105b (i got it with my pc before it was upgraded)
was new in 1998 and it seems to flicker 1024x768 resulotion or higher in high colour 16bit but not really in tru colour 32bit or 256 colour i guess it is dying cause now it flicker in any resolution at any coulour level

Yeah, it's a syncmaster 763 17"...she done me good ol' betsy...i'll be sorry to see her go:(...but hey you're right...lcd time!!!!! they're down to 6 ms response time!!Just have to pay down my credit card a bit..

The moniters at my school do that, but that's also because they're the most horrendously budget priced hardware you will ever see.

Monitor Shaking sounds like a sport.
