The first thing you need to do is check and see which is failing: the monitor or the graphics card. The easiest way to do this is to hook the monitor up to another computer and see it works. My guess is that the monitor is going - graphics cards tend to fail all at once, unlike monitors, which die lingering deaths.
Thanks. when I get home tonight I'm going to have to finish my taxes wearing sunglasses because of the glaring, phosphorous screen with my face pushed up against the monitor because the print is so faint. lovely. ;)
I'm on dells web-site, there are so many monitors I have no clue what to get. I'll probably go to the mall to the little dell kiosk and annoy the guys that work there, they always look so bored anyway.
We have a spare monitor just collecting dust... I could ask Scott if he'll part with it (it was his and he would I'm sure). It's not brand spanking new but we hate throwing away things that still work :D

The monitor I'm using now is 6 years old, nothing could be older then that. ;)
