What's this blue line then?
« on: September 05, 2007, 10:29:21 PM »
Got a very thin pale blue line running vertically down the screen, and it's getting right on my tits tbh.
What is it? Is the screen goosed p'raps then? ::)
Been like this for weeks now, but it's not got any worse...or better.

It's a flat screen LCD thing if that helps.

Only 3 years old too ffs. evil:

I picked up a decent second hand monitor from a place at Bromborough (on that big retails park) for ?25 when my screen died similarly last year.

Have you changed or updated your graphics card drivers or directx lately?

Stuff is so cheap now... just junk the old one and get a new one with warranty. Even better, get a new PC and get a 'free' monitor.  whistle:
