Is my LCD Monitor dying?

MJK · 01-19-2009, 01:52 PM

I've had this problem for a few months, basically when I turn my monitor on it will be black, and the picture will slowly fade in from black to normal but it will take a few minutes. Now once it does this, the monitor and picture are fine, I just have this problem when I turn it on.

Does this mean I should be looking for a new LCD soon?

I wouldnt worry about it. I guess you leave the pc on all the time?
Then it goes to sleep? If your going to be away from the pc for over
2 hours I recommend shutting it down.

I shut it down at night and turn on in mornin and leave it running basically the whole day.

But I have dual monitors, one is the the other is the one I have problem with.

I got a new monitor in July, but the old one still worked but kept doing this for 8 months.
