ebr 14935 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Nothing to do with MB but has anyone ever seen anything like this before? When certain content is displayed on only one of my four monitors, it goes crazy. This happens with an old version of Outlook that I use but also with some content on some web pages and in other programs. Watch what happens as I move Outlook on and off of the troublesome monitor. I don't think it is the video card because there are two monitors hooked up to this same card and the other one doesn't do it. Only this one. Is the actual monitor going bad?

WWWestern 94 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 And if you swap the monitors, what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 And if you swap the monitors, what happens? I have thought of trying that to confirm it is the physical monitor but haven't done it yet because my other monitor on this card is a different resolution.

gthrift 57 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Possibly a bad card, bad port on card or monitor, bad monitor, or bad cable. I would switch the ports on two monitors and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyFr79 228 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 It appears it could be the image processor in the monitor going bad, reason I say this it seems to stabilize when theres no motion and goes haywire the minute pixels need to change. I am by no means an expert and could be completely wrong though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14935 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 I switched the ports on the card and the same monitor did the same thing. So, I guess that means it is the monitor itself. It isn't motion but it is specific content. The outlook window always causes the problem and some content in some other windows do too. Sometimes the whole screen just goes dark. When if first started happening, it only seemed to happen when the monitor was "cold" and stopped happening once it had been on for several minutes. Now, though, it seems to be almost constant.

AgileHumor 123 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 We had the same problem for an office dual monitor setup where this was happening on one of them...ended up replacing the monitor and it never returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be more of a drastic change in contrast causing the issue more than motion then, i.e. going from a dark background to a mainly white window forcing the pixels to go from partially open to full open.
