Yup, sounds like a bad monitor. A friend of mine once had a similar problem - he swore he could fix it temporarily by unplugging the monitor and rolling it upside down on his bed. I still don't believe him. If attaching a new monitor works, and you need to buy a used one on the cheap, I noticed the other day corpreccouncil downtown is no longer shipping monitors, so that knocks a lot of the eBay competition out. http://computers.search.ebay.com/_Monitors-Projectors_W0QQcatrefZC12QQfrppZ25QQsacatZ3694QQsassZcorpreccouncil Standard disclaimer: I don't work for them or anything, I've just been happy with the stuff I've bought - although I am unhappy they now charge a $4 pick up fee. MD.
