Monitor, RIP?
This morning after waking and showering, I went to my computer to do my usual early morning computer hijinks to find that my LCD monitor was displaying nothing by white. The whole screen, from top to bottom, from left to right, was white. At first I thought it might be something with my computer, but a quick reboot revealed that it seemed to be working fine. After swapping to the VGA cable, to see if maybe something the the DVI cable went wrong, and finding the screen still white, I decided that something was definitely wrong with the monitor.
I’ve contacted the monitor manufacturer to see if there’s anything they might be able to tell me or do to fix it. In the meantime, I’ve pulled out my old 17″ CRT monitor and am using that. And having used the LCD monitor for so long, going back to the CRT shows me exactly what I gained by going LCD. Oh well, the silver lining may be that I finally get to satiate that widescreen LCD monitor desire that my MacBook Pro instilled in me.
