A little off-topic but since I didn't know where to start, I thought I would give it a try here.
I bought a used Apple Studio Display 21" about a year ago. It was working fine although there has always been a slight problems with some areas on the monitor that were slightly darker. Geometry adjustments could make the problem less apparent but I was unable to make it go away completely. Anyway, over the course of the last few weeks, I would have problems with the monitor, like it would lose its image, or there would be a bad case for degaussing, accompanied by some kind of strange noises, but I was always able to bring it back. Yesterday evening, all of a sudden, the picture shrank toward the middle of the screen and was very fuzzy. I could barely see what was on the screen, much less move the mouse pointer. I tried to switch the resolution by guessing the location of the display menu in OS X. At some point, the picture disappeared completely. I forced the computer to restart but the picture never came back. I put back my Studio Display 17 and all was fine. So, the problem is definitely with the Studio Display 21. So, what are my options? Could I have it repaired for a reasonable fee? I don't want to spend a lot of money on it because I'm afraid it could break again. I've read that those problems where the monitor seems dead are the easier to solve. In the event I want to dispose of it, what can I do?
