  1. bad news

    friday night my screen died, i cant use my pc untill i got a new screen - thst means i cant play tf2 the next days ;(

    the problem is that when i switch the screen on, it works for like 2-3 secs than it switches off ... no idea why, but it is time for a new one though (got mine for some years now)

    any body knows a good screen, mostly used for gaming and browsing,chatting etc.
    prize under 200€ pls

    greeting from the slowest laptop ive ever used :)

    Are you 100% sure that it is plugged in correctly?

    Are there any other strange things happening in the 2-3 secs that it appears when it starts up?

    sry but i know how to plug in a screen :P

    no, 2 secs desk - then nothing
    btw: u can repeat this process by switching it on and off

    PS : i wanted a screen since a while, looks like the perfect momnt to do so ...
    so anyone can tell me a good one?

    Sounds like the backlight/whatever is on it's way out.

    CRT > LCD for reliability.

    Mine were manufactured in 2000 and 2002 :D

    I broke my old CRT by having my old subwoofer to close to it.
    Fucked the magnetics really badly.

    Holding a magnet to a crt ftw

    Goes pretty much like when you poke an LCD

    That monitor looks good, contrast ratio is meh, (I also have a 22" with 2ms response time - PHILIPS :P) but still very good for the price.

    Re: bad news

    That's actually not that cheap.

    Well.. For a philips I guess it is.. The one I got (was just released when I got it) was €300 to buy, but I was also buying a computer from the same place, and *somehow* got it down to €70 since I bought so much :dance:
