MY SCREEN

[Lograh]

LCD.
Tom's Hardware has a nice little picture at the top that rather dramatically shows the typical size difference between the two. They're based on very different technologies to create their picture.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_display will provide you with probably more than you ever wanted to know about each type of display. razz

When the guy means "Computer Specifications", he does not mean "What's around your computer."

Anyway, this is the monitor you have, right?

I did a bit of research and quite a few people have problems with this monitor... If these "ripples" on your screen are permanent, chances are it somehow got physically damaged over time. It is not any of the stuff lying around the desk that damages a monitor...

I recommend you live with the monitor you have and get a new one whenever you could.

yep...that's exactly the monitor I have. and i guess i'll live the ripples then. they don't bother me that much anyway.
could you tell me whether this is a lcd or a crt then??? heart

Idk about your computer, it might need some fixing XC I suck at fixing computers, so maybe you should just leave it alone for a while. That's my opinion, and if that doesn't work, you may need a new computer. sad

Hey there.

It sounds like you need to degauss your monitor from the electromagnetic resonance.
Did you recently put something magnetic close to your monitor? If so, remove any objects around your monitor and see if that helps.

Your monitor is known as a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor (looks kind of bulky compared to LCD :Liquid Crystal Display/Plasma Monitors).

Switch off your monitor's power and power it up again. Modern monitors degauss themselves automatically.

Look for a button on your monitor that may look like an upside-down question mark or a horseshoe magnet. Press it to clear up the built-up electromagnetic resonance about your monitor. If this does not work, there are other options, though it could cause permanent damage to your monitor.

If your monitor is an older model I recommend you purchase a newer monitor (preferably LCD) since they don't need to be degaussed at all and produce less radiation. The only issue you have to worry about with those are energy consumption and dead-pixels, although the contrast and clarity will be beyond anything you have experienced with a CRT monitor.

It would be unsafe for you to open or tamper with the insides of a monitor, so please don't open it up. Stay clear and be safe wink

You assume its a crt. You are the worst tech support ever. Assuming I have an elephant when I have a giraffe is useless.

@OP: Please list your model number for your monitor.
It is written on the screen.
Also what are your computer specifications?

ok....so my monitor is SAMSUNG SyncMaster 713n....i really am not good with this techie stuff...i'm just telling you what's written on it.
And i believe my monitor is not a CRT. I think it is a LCD because LCD ones are flat...aren't they??

Around my PC, i have a cd, headphones, my casio keyboard and my cell phone.....do you think an of these could be affecting my monitor??

My monitor is surly out of warantee period.
and thank-you all for your help. heart

@scintillating-me: Hi, can you tell us more about your screen? For example, if you are running it on a desktop PC, notebook, laptop, mobile, PDA, touchpad/tablet PC or running it through a projector? It would help if you also provide information outlined by Lowpasspartout's reply.

In the case where it is not a CRT monitor (thanks to Lowpass for reminding me), you should probably give the manufacturer a call (find the number in manual or online) and if you still have the warranty, send it back to be fixed.

Without further information I cannot help you address the issue as it would only be conjecture.

Hi Lowpasspartout,

I'm sorry if you believe that my advise is ill-placed. Indeed, I should have asked for the OPs screen specifications before providing a solution. However, I have merely presented a possible solution to what I think is the cause of the problem. Perhaps this knowledge can help other GaiaOnline members.

May I just say that I presume that the OP owns a CRT monitor as it is a popular industry standard monitor, and also because it is affected by electromagnetic fields. I believe that the ripples are caused by the introduction of a magnetic field, though factors such as tension or misalignment are possible causes.

Of course, as you have conspicuously pointed out, it may not be a CRT monitor at all. Hopefully, I will learn from this mistake and in future wait until the OP gives more information. I think that quality of service and a friendly support team are crucial to the success of any technical support team. If you believe my advise to be misleading or inappropriate then please report the post rather than insult me. However, I hope you can tolerate this one error.

Kind regards,

Panuary

Good show, but man... you need to loosen up a little bit.
