Yes its time for a new monitor. I would first play around with the VGA settings. Go to Display in your control panel and make sure youre using HIGH 32 BIT colors and then restart your computer. Play around with the monitor settings. If its still a no-go then you might want to get a new monitor. Monitors usually start going bad after 3 years of use.

Change the direction in which your monitor faces and see if there is any difference.\n Make sure you have not placed any speakers near your monitor as this may cause color patches on your screen. \n\nNext check to see if you have plugged in the signal cable connector properly and screwed it tight. A loose signal cable can cause color distortion.

i know this will be a pain, but try it on another computer. this way we can tell if it's the monitor or the video card. I have a feeling it's the monitor. While you have the cable disconnected, check the pins. It's real easy to bend one.

if the monitor stays on, but the lcd isn't, then go into the bios settings, it is set to crt only maybe, then there should be a func key to switch it back and forth, have found that to be the problem also

The monitor light is going to fail soon. You have to replace it. It costs like $800 to replace it.\n\nThere is a tiny little button that the monitor presses to turn the monitor light off when its in standby or when you close the laptop cover. That might be busted. If it is, that will be a cheap fix.\n\nOtherwise, the monitor light is going bad and thats pretty steep.

You are talking about an issue with your monitor?  If so, what kind is it, CRT or LCD.  If it is an LCD chances are the back light is about to fail.  You can replace the back light but you need to be good with a dremel tool and be good with handling sensitive electronic equipment.\n\nIn most cases it is just easier to buy a new monitor.

Hello. I have had the same problem with my Dell 15" LCD. I don't know what happened when suddenly I'm playing a game and I'm thinking that the game's graphics are awesome because its raining and the thunder really lights up the screen. Then I realize that my pixels are fading, exactly how you described it. I tried unplugging everything and replugging it in again, but nothing seemed to work. I decided to go back to my old CRT monitor and for a few months that worked fine. As luck would have it, it broke as well. I decided to test my LCD again, and to my surprise, it worked now. After about two weeks, I unplugged everything because I was moving my computer to another room. When everything was replugged, the same problem plagued my monitor. That's when I've had enough. I called Dell Customer Service, which was really helpful, and they offered to replace my monitor with a new one even though it was out of warranty. I don't if there is maybe something wrong with the entire line of Dell monitors, but they sure were helpful and considerate. Of course you have to send back your old monitor, but they picked it up from my house and paid for the shipping costs as well.

Check that the monitor cable is correctly connected.\nIf it is, then get a new monitor from some place with a good returns policy - just in case the problem is with your graphics card!!

get a new screen, theres not much you can do for damaged pixels, though next time make the screen-saver turn on faster.\n\nhow old is the monitor?

First of all if you've checked that the monitor is still plugged to electricity and won't work, I recommend you to take it to a specialist, so it will give you a solution.

There are many situations that could cause that:\n1. Softwares (recover your windows\n2. Hardwares (reinstalling your display card)\n....\n\nPlease provide more about your monitor and situation more detailedly.

its probably a scratch. some times you polish a mark off. but seeing as you monitor is stil working forget and learn to live with it

It is possible that your problem might be coming from your video card.  Try testing the monitor on another computer to see if it recreates the same problem.  If that is the case you might need to get another video card.  If not, I personally would pitch the monitor and get another one.  Unless you know a lot about electronics messing around with it is ill advised.  There are large capacitors inside monitors that can seriously injure you.\n\nHope this helps and GL :-)

download the current driver for your video card. if that doesn't work your monitor or video card might need replacement. Also try to degause your monitor if its not a plasma screen.

If you have it set to the highest level of brightness on the monitor and it still isn't bright enough you likely have a failing monitor. I have had the same problem before but there wasn't anything I could do. You can also see if there is a reset option but I don't think it will help.

There are several componants that could be going bad.\nThe most likely is the red output transister, or it's associated circuitry.  If you have a CRT type monitor, it could be a problem in the picture tube.\nIt would probably be cheaper to replace it than to get it fixed.
