I worked from home yesterday and ran into a bit of aggravation. My 19″ LCD has started flickering off and on sporadically recently, but for the most part it would stop if I changed the refresh rate. Last night it wouldn’t stay on and so I had to unhook it from my laptop. Jim thinks perhaps it’s a bad cable. I haven’t had a chance yet to test it out on one of our other machines, but it’s about 2 years old now … if it is going bad, it’s just one more thing that I will have to put off replacing until after the Disney trip.
*sigh*
In a way though, I guess this could be a good thing. I had actually been thinking on getting a widescreen LCD and maybe putting it up on the wall behind my desk using one of those flat panel mounts I see all the time in Best Buy. Or maybe a dual monitor set … either way, it’s the waiting part that sucks. ;P

Well, look at it this way: If it’s 2 years old, it’s probably not the monitor, unless you got a really lousy one or something. But, if you play your cards right, you should be getting a new wide screen flat panel soon. Yay for you!

Rick, I hope you’re right. If it’s the cable, that’s a relatively cheap fix.
I’m not quite ready to drop the change for two new monitors (or even one for that matter, LOL!), and I really like the one I got. :)
