I've had my monitor now since december 1999 and it's a Hansol Magellan 500, basic 15" colour monitor.
It has served me just fine up until now but about 6 months ago I noticed that picture quality has become slightly faded and I have also noticed horizontal lines that resemble grooves that go across the screen. They are not completely straight and appear to bend down on either side as though being sucked toward the magnetism of my speakers.
There is a button on the front of my monitor that is intended to cancel out magnetism. I don't know if you know it but makes the screen flicker for a few seconds if pressed. Well it doesn't do anything to cure the problem.
I don't fancy spending any money on a new monitor if there is something I can do to fix my present one. Does anyone know what might be wrong with my monitor or what I might be able to do to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
