Did you clean it with a wet towel or so?


If still under, warranty should cover this, if not, you're screwed.

A-well-a everybody's heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word

Also, I use the word "also" a lot.

Warranty wont cover water damage

Besides, 3yr old monitor wouldn't be in warranty still

It just seems to be an annoyance at this point. There is no sign of leakage anywhere else on the monitor, and it hasn't any further down so it's probably hardened in place. I don't see any dead pizels anywhere. But it's noticeable.

Plus, its a Dell monitor so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I would use my HDTV but that is already set up for my Xbox and Blu-ray player.

Is it worth investing in a new monitor?

And besides, some of the reviews are not great. Also, that doesn't really help with the problem at this moment.

Not really, that's just the brand of my monitor, and it's served me quite well

Default Re: Is my monitor dying?

can you squish it around,get a squeegy? squiejy? and squish it all back up, lol.

CRT for me,, good luck if you get a new one, I think I would be looking at second hand if it gets too annoying. (wich it will)

LG is Phillips, the ones I think that would be the best built LCD would be, Sharp. they been doing displays as a main part of there succes for years.

Hmm, looks like sharp is more for comercial than retail end user, but I would get an LED new style monitor.

(just something to read)

When I get something I think it will be an ASUS, seem ok , but I have no clue on what is good these days.
I will go for a LED backlit of some type sooner or later.
