Happened to me with my Xerox monitor some time ago. I wrote to PC Works about it at the time, thinking that my monitor is dying. I still think it is dying, but the that shadow to the right comes and goes. Right now it's OK. As a general rule, I would say that any computer-related problem doesn't get better, and it does get worse over time. I have a reserve monitor sitting here. I'll pop it in when this one explodes. I don't think there's a reason to replace it yet. Wait until the problem becomes unbearable. David Grossman I have an Acer 22 inch monitor that might be 2 years old. There is a shadow to the right of everything that appears on the screen. Have had this for at least a month. Should I be looking for a new monitor? Will this be gradually getting worse?
