My monitor has fat marks...

Wafflesomd · 08-May-06, 09:29 PM

idk what they are, but they popped up recently, and driving me nuts, new monitor?

Any reccomendations, gotta be CRT, flat screen, no smaller than 19".

Have you tried degaussing it?

Jobistober · 08-May-06, 10:56 PM

Have you had any magnets around it lately?

Move your speakers back to where they were away from the monitor.

I'd go the Philips/Samsung/LG route... whilst those aren't perfectly "flat" like Trinitron based CRT's
they lack the "lines" usually found in a Trinitron 'mask ..plus they often have much harder, sturdier
coatings than the Trinitrons... (I've got this Iiyama 17" flat CRT.... which is connected to my server now
because it's coating had been damaged..)... great thing is that you can buy these CRT's in "short neck"
models which take up a lot less room!

3 good reasons, imho.... and whilst they consume more power & use more space, they can cope with
much more resolutions natively, don't suffer from "dead pixels"... most of them can be "color calibrated"...
"ghosting" does not apply...

I've got both a V7 and an LG 19" CRT which I 'cherish...

Look around in tag sales. Ive gotten monitors as cheap as 5 bucks (and it was a 17inch!).

Yeah, you can get a 17" CRT (not flat though) for $5 at goodwill.

That looks amazingly similar to what happened to one of my buddy's tvs when he left a 12" sub (out of its case) sitting on it while we went on a trip... came back and it had those marks around the corners (plus a nice inverted rainbow in the middle).
