Hi,
I have a 21" Sun GDM-5410 monitor that has been working like a champ for the past 3 years. Yesterday something strange, and perhaps bad, happened. The following is a description of the symptoms:
- The screen is quite blurred, especially when reading text (of icons, taskbar, etc.). No correction via "Convergence" adjustment fixes it.
- The screen seems to correct itself and regain clear (much better) focus when the predominant color on the screen is white.
- Any other predominant color (black, brown, green, blue, etc.) would render the screen blurry again.
- The same symptoms are experienced in any other combination of resolution/refresh rate.
- The screen would momentarily pulsate by expanding and contracting if switching from predominantly non-white to predominantly white screen, but will not do so if switching from pred. white to pred. non-white.
I've done the following to troubleshoot (in that order):
- Degaussed the monitor several times - no go
- Adjusted "Convergence" - no go.
- Reinstalled Video card driver (ATI AIW 9600) - no go.
I have not done any changes to the PC, and or the environment relevant to the PC and/or Monitor. I am running Windows XP, and it is set to not update itself automatically. I am running Symantec Corporate AV which is up-to-date. The video card drivers are up-to-date.
Any suggestions about the potential cause of the problem will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
