I have NO technical expertise or ideas about this...but my personal
suggestion would be to watch the ads for sales for a new monitor. How big
is this monitor? Larger ones are probably cheaper than the one you are
concerned about.
Since it is at least 4 yrs old..(depending upon when in 2003 you got the
monitor) it maybe be getting ready to fail.
Do you know that CompUSA is closing all its stores. They have been bought
out by some company in Mexico and they are closing all the stores.
They will be closing by the end of the year to the best of my knowledge.
I would also check www.Frys.com for sales.
While having a monitor that may be near the end of its useful life is not
great...at least the timing is fairly good for sales.
I hope Santa finds your house,,,

I have a ViewSonic monitor and have had it since 2003. Today it is fading
in and out from normal to dim and back again with resulting change in
colors
to some extent. I am running Windows XP Pro on a custom made PC.
I ran diagnostics and it is functioning o.k. (or so it says).I went to the
web site and found a new driver and downloaded it but then I read somewhere
that this plug and play does not have a driver. So I am struggling and
confused! I have sent a couple of messages to support at ViewSonic but
have
not had time to hear back from them. And it is almost Christmas and I
really don't have time right now to do all the troubleshooting I need to
do.
If anyone has any ideas as to what I should do next please let me know. I
fear I may lose the monitor entirely the way it is fluxuating.
