    Samsung 240T on screen ripple effect

    Samsung 240T just arrived. Works fine except that the screen image shows the following:

    Bands of 45 degree cross-hatching, maybe 1.5" - 2" tall, slowly make their way from the bottom of the screen to the top. There are two bands maybe 3" - 4" apart visible at all times. An image is attached, one band can be seen immediately below the NavStudio, RealPlayer, NTest icons.

    Al Moodie.

      Try moving the monitor elsewhere to see if it's RFI/hash from switching power supplies or the newer electronic "ballasts" of overhead fluorescents.

        The SMPS caps and bad cap on the regulator on the mainboard. Sometimes a regulator oscillate because of insufficient filtering.

          I agree.

          I've come across this several times on some acer monitors. Each time it was fixed by recapping the power supply.

            Thanks Wizard and aliasdck, I intend to recap everything, parts arrived today.

            Monitor has developed another problem, a thin horizontal runs across the screen about 1" from top, image attached. Sometimes it's there sometimes it's not. Can this be fixed.

              Did the recapping cure the cross hatch problem? I have a Samsung 210T that has similar appearance. I didn't recap yet - I found a wire out of the connector to the LCD panel - plugged in properly monitor worked.

                          Sorry, guy. This was entirely my mistake. Apparently when they removed the cataract they also removed a portion of my brain.

                          <Background> When my opthamologist recommended cataract surgery I wanted to gather feedback that would be a little more personal than the information available on Web MD, etc. Given the choice of forums here, The VIP Room seemed most appropriate. UNFORTUNATELY, that's restricted to those with 100 posts or more.

                          Rather than hijack a bunch of threads, I've posted the results in a new thread in the PROPER forum (Off Topic / Lounge), and (hopefully) updated the link in my signature.

                          Let's give it a try.

                          And thanks for your patience.
