| Did my LCD monitor just break? My Samsung 21" LCD monitor just started showing a red perfectly straight line vertically from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. The line is about 2 inches in from the right edge of the screen. Looks like someone "drew" the line with a ruler. Sometimes this line will change color with a different background color. It'll turn dark blue on a windows blue background for example. What happened? Is this fixable? What should I have done to prevent this from happening? This is my first LCD monitor.  __________________ Asus P4P800 Deluxe Intel P4 3.2 Extreme Edition @ 3.50 / Zalman CNPS7000-AlCu / Arctic Silver Ceramique 4x1024 OCZ PC3200 EL Dual Ch High Performance Platinum Edition @ 2-2-2-5 ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon X800 XT / Samsung Syncmaster 215TW 21" Wide Screen LCD Two Western Digital RE2 500 Gb YS Raid Edition SATA hdd's Two Western Digital 250 Gb Raid Edition hdd's Two Western Digital My Book 500 Gb external USB2/Firewire hard drives LiteOn 165H6S DVD Super AllWriter / LiteOn 166s 16x DVD-Rom Onboard LAN Antec SX1240 full tower Soundblaster Audigy 2 zs Platinum / CambridgeSoundworks 5.1 DTT 3500 Digital Speakers Logitech G5 Laser Mouse Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard Razer eXactMat + eXactRest win2000 |

| Can you hook up the monitor to another machine and then reset the monitor to the factory setting? Could be the video card instead of the monitor. Essentially, I would check video card and monitor cable before determining it being the monitor. |

Thanks for the info PR. I have one computer plugged into the digital input (ATI card) and another computer plugged into the analog input (Voodoo3 card). The line appears the same way, no change, when I switch between the analog and digital inputs. What's this about factory resets? That would help?  | |
