    LCD Monitor Problem

    I have an LCD monitor with a problem. Don't quite know how to describe it, but here goes. If you go to Control Panel, Display, Settings, on the screen that comes up, the white background that's supposed to be there is grayish, fuzzy, and snowy/shaky. It's like this on all screens, with different colored backgrounds. However, the main screen seems to be OK, except for faint background angled jagged lines moving on it. The boot start up screen and the BIOS screen as well as the Windows startup screen all seem to be good, the problem is only when windows is running. I tried this on 4 different comps to make sure it wasn't a video card problem. Can anyone tell me whats going on?

    Try doing an automatic tune on it with the button.
    "We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed [sic]. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, 'Save me!' He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them."

      Check/replace the video cable. With luck, that's it. Otherwise it may be a cap or other component failing on the monitor processor or power supply boards. Giving the brand and model of monitor mught help.

        @ mockingbird, that was one of the first things I tried.

        @ jsog, I think you're right. After reading your post, I wiggled the monitor cable and got a change in the pattern of squiggly lines.

        The monitor is a MAG Innovision LT782s with an attached non removable video cable.

          The fitted video cables on most Monitors are usually quite a bit heavier than the normal type,and do need to be fully screwed into the PC,otherwise the odd thing can happen.
