Sounds like it's broken; put in for a new one. ;)

You really ought to post this in HARDWARE & DEVICES, but hey ho Probably find that the driver is not consistant with the monitor, is it a newer monitor and older machine? Seems that it the likely reason.

- check that the cable is ok... a better cable can solve it... - check that the frequency is supported by the monitor. - update drivers. - Don't look at Cindy Crawford... or at least don't use this excuse... they'll fire you...

You know what happened to me? I had this nice flat screen monitor, however the fonts were quite blurry because it was a very cheap monitor. In my last project I needed to code something to do with validation. Basically a textbox should be highlighted in yellow when the input is not valid. Somehow, the textbox did not turn yellow and I tried to debug my program for 1 hour, then I realized that the monitor was not able to display a certain kind of yellow. Finally got a new one (after debating with the IT support service for 3 months) and now I can see yellow as well as any other colour. :)

I use to have a monitor with exactly the same peoblem. But some bugger nicked it from my cubicle before I could fix it.

A bad cable would distort the image? How? Just wondering.

No they would not fire me for looking at Cindy Crawford, Arnold Schwarzenegger maybe. :)

I remember of thin cables in the back of some monitors that blurred a little bit the image... Depending on the image it was more or less obvious...

Fiddle around with sharpness settings and input modes eg graphics/video or desktop/multimedia/game/etc; I've found some of those settings can apply oversharpening filters that really make messes of everything.

I have had two separate incidents in the last month involving bad cables distorting images. One was at work(distortion of image with extra weird pixels) and one was at home,(the red, greed or blue glazed screen depending on how the cable was tweaked) so es, a bad cable can cause distorted pics. This may not be your problem but it is a suspect to look at.

Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning. Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.
