IIyama Prolite E2710HDS - Screen distorted

[BadIIyama]

Hi guys,

After 4 years, my IIyama has packed up.
Initially I thought it was the pc, but after a lot of testing I concluded it was the monitor.
(Testing done includes - swapping graphics cards, DVI \ HDMI cables and setting up dual monitors)

Heres a screenshot of my screen.


When this first started happening, I found that turning the monitor on and off several times eventually resulted in a usable screen.

Is there anything I can do to revive it?

Let me know what information you need.

Not sure it is the monitor but have seen nothing like that before.
Have you another pc or laptop you can connect it to?

Hi Guys,
It appears that the HDMI and DVI inputs are the problem.
I've currently got it using the VGA and it seems fine. (Only just found this out)

I've plugged the monitor into my PS3 (HDMI cable) and the same issue appears.
Each time I turned the monitor on and off the display got a little better or worse, but never normal screen.

I've tried different graphics cards, an hdmi cable and a DVI cable all resulting in the same sort of screen. I also have a 19" monitor that works fine when plugged in to the graphics card, although thats also a VGA input.

Well, if you have been using hdmi as plug and play that may have wrecked the hdmi controller chip but not sure by that would affect dvi
Have you tried with different resolutions or 720 v 1080

I am adding apic of the screen so when the offsite one disappears future enquirers will see what we are talking about

HDMI is just DVI with audio and a much cheaper shitty connector.

btw, i'm surprised you got an image from a ps3 in the u.k.
the ps3 pal video is 50hz and most monitors wont sync under 60hz.

then again - maybe that's the problem.
what vertical refresh rate was your pc outputting on DVI?

The monitor always used to work on the PS3.
Although it had been a while since Id had the PS3 plugged into the monitor.
I've always connected my pc to the monitor using a DVI cable

I think the DVI refresh rate was 60 Hz, which is the maximum it would go for DVI and HDMI @ 1920x1080
As far as I remember, its always been set to 60Hz

I've just looked in there now and the refresh rate is 60Hz @ 1920x1080. I've also got the option of several increments increasing up to 75Hz.
