      Well a few days old and this hanns-g has developed a line about 1/3 down that runs across the screen when you move in games.

          there are really only a few panel mfg for monitors today - LG.Phillips, AU Optronics, Hannstar, Samsung/Sony.

          I prefer NEC IPS displays myself, though Acers are great if you have to be cheap.
          Very True. Some of the NEC monitors from back in the 2003-2005 date range were very good. Nowadays, some of the high end HP IPS monitors are good. I use a HP LP2065 20" monitor. It has an awesome picture.

          **** NOTE **** Do some research and make sure you buy a monitor that either of the following panels: IPS (first choice) or P-MVA (second choice). Do not buy a modern TN panel...they suck.

              Dell are good ones, Asus makes good panels, very common here (I'm using one and it has 3 years warranty). LG crt's were really reliable, also have one T710PU and it's been running non stop for 5+ years. Dunno about their LCD's though...

                Pioneer RM-07 Active monitors cutting out from time to time
                by BigOof
                I have a pair of Pioneer RM-07 monitors that I bought a while ago. When I was testing them I noticed that one speaker would cut out and I thought it was just a bad cable connection. At the price they were being sold for I was willing to take a risk on them. However, 6 months later and the one monitor still has the same issue. Most of the time it works, but there are times that the power LED is on but I get absolutely no sound. I can hear the relay clicking on/off sometimes and then it will/won't work depending on what it feels like. I've tried XLR and RCA inputs with the same issue. There's no...

                HANNSG Hi221 -- 2 secs to black feat. CCFL flicker & "burn" marks on power board
                by ttmi100x
                Greetings everyone,


                I have a HANNSG Hi221 monitor that exhibits two seconds to black issues (backlight goes off, display is still on as confirmed by shining a flashlight on it) with some additional oddities...


                The monitor failed on me with a standard "2 seconds to black" some time ago prompting me to initially replace most of the electrolytic capacitors (some of them were bulging/leaking).
                Things kinda sorta worked for a night, then the problem returned along with some flickering and "buzzing" noises.

                Upon closer inspection...

                How to connect 6 monitors to a PC?
                by buchman
                Hi,
                I built an AMD PC and I have GTX 1070ti graphics card with only 4 outputs to 4 monitors, I want to connect 2-3 more monitors, what are the cheapest options do I have?
                Thanks in advance.

                Dell 2007FP monitors
                by capsulej
                I have a bunch of these monitors that all seem to have the same issue with bad inverter boards. Either the monitor will power on and not display a picture or it will display a picture for 2 seconds and then shut off. I know this because swapping the boards out with a working unit fixes the problem.

                Apparently this is caused by the dell soundbars overloading the monitors power rails as they are of poor quality. I would like to fix the boards if possible but im not sure what to look for.

                Giving away parts from otherwise cracked monitors/TVs: Does anyone know a group/forum
                by spartantravis
                Hi Guys
                I was just taking apart an old Medion 24inch monitor that had a cracked screen. I needed the PMMA sheet inside but I am left with the working electronics, bezels and frame. It seems a waste to just throw it out considering the extortionate prices that some vendors charge for replacement parts.
                At the same time, I dislike the commerical aspects of selling stuff.
                Does anyone know of any group where people who repair monitors/TVs trade/donate parts to each other?
                The monitor is an MD 20830 23.8inch. The owner left it face down while moving stuff and somehow cracked...
