What problems can be with Dell Flat Screen Monitor?

Couple Monitor Problems?

  • I have two problems with my Dell E248WFP monitor. The first problem is, there are gray vertical even lines which are kinda noticable, especially when the screen is dark. I had first thought it was my graphic card but i recently bought a new computer and the lines are still there. The second problem i only noticed recently when playing Dragon age on my new computer, there are clear waves. they don't always show but it does it a lot when on a dialogue scene or moving the screen up and down. Any idea what could be causing this, has the monitor gone bad?

  • Answer:

    If you are having the same problems with 2 completely different computers it is probably the monitor, or possibly the monitor cable, that is the cause. Edit: It could also be that you have not loaded the monitor's driver. Go to the Dell site and download the driver for your monitor. Install it and see if it makes a difference.

It really sounds like a driver problem. That's software. Try re-installing your drivers (updating them if updated versions are available).

It sounds to me like either the monitor itself, or the VGA cable is going bad. I would replace that monitor, and soon.
