My computer monitor is a 17 inch and the screen just goes to about 3 inches.  What causes this?

vertical oscillator/driver shot. shorted capacitor, or maybe transistor/ic? \nnowadays, you might as well trash it if you can get a halfway decent deal on a flat panel. or give it to your cousin who's MIT material to see if he can fix it.

It might be a single resolution burned out of the screen. I hope I'm wrong. The screens are so cheap now, I doubt it's worth fixing..Good Luck.

ok try this \ngo onto desktop and click on the right mouse button select properties\nthen click the settings tab\nunder display your monitor should be listed if it isnt then disconnect the monitor and reconnect if it is already on there the you will need to check on the same tab that your screen resolution is correct usually 1280 by 1024 pixels and color quality is 32 bit\n\nadjust accordingly and apply

You have your PC set to a resolution that the monitor can't display.  When your computer is booting, press F8 at the startup screen, and boot into safe mode.  Once there, change the screen resolution to something lower and the refresh rate to 60.  Boot back normally, and see if that helps.

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.

It could be your video card has died.  Or try a new monitor cable.

check your monitor settings and see if you have a Degauss features.  Most modern monitors do.  If you are lucky this should fix the problem.

I would try monitor setting first using the buttons on the front of your monitor. If that does not help try right clicking desktop click properties and then click the setting tab and try changing the setting and clicking apply.

Check the cabling between the monitor and the PC. It may be a bad connection.

i had that problem with one of my LCD screens i would check the cable between the computer and the screen(the cable that has a blue head on both ends) see if anything is stuck inside the area that plugs into the back of the computer and make sure that its pushed in all the way.(this was suggested to me by a friend)\n\nedit---\n\nYeah, you are experiencing a blue shift which happens to some LCD monitors after extended use. The previous poster is correct the red is going out in it causing it to look more blue. Your monitor is getting ready to fail and unless you have another one sitting around to use check out any number of Viewsonics (at around $200) from Newegg, http://www.newegg.com/product/productlis...\n\nBefore you ask, no, there is no way to fix this problem.\n\nI quote Conradj213 (I asked this question again and this was one of the answere I got, I believe it to be true)

Update your graphic card software, there should be a screen rotation option you can turn the display up side down.

I'm assuming you know HOW to set resolution, so theres three possibilities:\n\n1) Video Card does not handle larger resolutions\n2) Monitor does not handle larger resolutions\n3) Video Drivers do not handle larger resolutions\n\nTry to download the newest video drivers first. Do a Yahoo! search for "<video card name> drivers", and find the manufacturers website. Download and install the newest possible.\n\nIf that doesn't help, your hardware is the problem. If your monitor is small and old, it is very likely the problem. Check the documentation if you still have it.\n\nOtherwisw it will be the video card. Again, check it's documentation for limits. You may have to replace this and/or the monitor.

Easy, have them buy you a new monitor.  LCDs can have problems if too much pressure is applied.

ur monitor might be out dated. I had a ol packard bell monitor that took 30 min to warm up and then it was blurry and all messed up becasue of it's old age.
