CRT Monitor issue

[Guest MapleE.]

Hi:

One of PCs with XP is still using CRT Monitor that is old-fashioned, in

today's PC-World.

However, due to a good-quality photoes image that CRT Monitor produces, then

I still

stick to it. It's Plug & Play Monitor with slight curve in the middle of

it.

 

One issue I've been encoutering, however that a size-screen reduces, from 17

inches

to 15.5 inches that happens about once a month. Although I manage to get it

back to the

desired/original screen-size, I wonder whether I can keep a desired/original

CRT Monitor

Screen permanently, at least 'save' in order to rescue the original CRT

Monitor screen-size

without hassle.

 

Any help on this would be truly appreciated.

My guess is the monitor is going.

Re: CRT Monitor issue

 

The Monitor is 'acer 713' that I purchased about two months

ago.

 

Any other idea on this issue?

 

Thanks,

If it's still under warranty, take it back for a refund or an exchange

for another one. Your monitor is going south, sorry. This can happen

right out of the box. I had a Philips TFT monitor and it would go off an

on right after I took it out of the box, brand new. Philips acknowledged

it as a known problem and sent me a new monitor that was more expensive

than the first one. I got it the next day by messenger, no charge.

Test the monitor at every resolution that the video card supports

(that doesn't exceed what the monitor supports). Then adjust the size

using the monitor's controls, not software controls. Make sure to

check the sizing by increasing the size 2 to 5 steps both larger and

smaller than the monitor's size. This is to check if you are close to

a frequency switch in the monitor. If you are close then it is

possible the monitor might be bouncing between the 2 modes. When I

had a CRT monitor, and if the sizing put me close to the switch point,

I would adjust down at least 3 increments in size.

 

Just because the monitor is new doesn't mean that it isn't broke. If

there is a problem in the flyback circuit, a short, or other problem

then the size could change. Since you say the monitor is only 2

months old in your other post, call the maker and ask what it takes to

use the warranty.
