I have a Samsung 712n LCD monitor that I bought back in 2004. It works great, but a few days ago this odd white/transparent line started showing up near the top of the screen. It's thin, goes all the way across the screen, and it kind of fades in and out as it goes across (hard to describe, I know). Also, it only shows up if the monitor has bright colors being shown on it (i.e. my desktop wallpaper), but if I have a black or white picture on it, it won't show up. When there is a color picture on there, it's as though the pixels there try to blend in with the picture but the colors are off by a few hues. Is there a way to fix this or am I gonna have to shell out $200-300 for a new monitor?
my laptop has the same line. Nightmare! It hardly shows on white background but otherwise, cuts all the way through each page. Particularly annoying with my artwork. Need a new cheap laptop I guess. Any suggestions please?
If you have warranty, I would just have the manufacturer check it out. When that happend to one of my screens at work, I also thought it was the cable and replaced that. But I still got the same problem. I ended up sending to the manufacturer and they replaced the screen. They said it was some circuit going bad.
sound's like the monitor is going bad ony way ti fix that is buy a new one.as for black and white picture's you answered that when you said the line is white.
