I have a £450 22" IIyama CRT that won't do it.

Re: Is my monitor about to die?
I have a 17inch monitor doing 1204 by 768 at 200hz all i did was remove the checkbox for higher refesh.
Screenshots of anything you wish can be provided.

that doesn't necessarily mean it will be at 200Hz...does the monitor confirm this? it would require a horizontal refresh of over 150kHz, which is bloody high to say the least!

i'd need a pic of the monitor overlay saying 200Hz to be convinced, rather than a screenshot 
i may be wrong, in which case i bow down to the superiority of manufacture of your monitor!

Re: Is my monitor about to die?
mmm. good question! i guess you'd have to use a camera, as it's overlaid by the monitor itself... i'm not that bothered really, if the monitor says 200Hz then thats what it's doing

that'd be 75Hz refresh then (the V number), despite what windows tells you!
each image is drawn one horizontal line at a time, so the horizontal refresh (H) is vertical refresh (75) x number of rows drawn (a bit more than 768)

Re: Is my monitor about to die?
Nicely done, I kinda fancy a Dell tft heard rave reviews about some of theres guess I dont stand much chance with a £200 top end budget? 17inch and above be wicked 1600 by 1200 anti glare even better.

Re: Is my monitor about to die?
I have a 17inch Dell TFT that I bought from there it was about £280 when I got it but that was nearly 2 years ago now. its a great monitor not as fancy as the Iilama ones though.
I use that site a lot its where I bought all the parts for my PC.

Re: Is my monitor about to die?
Thinking about it, I have not come across a computer monitor that does not auto degauss on startup for many years.
Certainly never one 17"+ & I have seen & repaired a great many different models.
Your wobble may well also be a dry joint or loose connection inside.
WHatever it is, it is most likely repairable & should not become another monitor on the rubbish pile.
