Windows Forum / Windows 95 / March 2004Wiggly and Jumping Screen
Perhaps someone can help me. My screen has started wiggling and or jumping slightly. Is there something I can do to correct this or do you need more info? Thanks, David > Perhaps someone can help me.

Make sure there are no fans or other small electric motors in the area, ditto for cell phones and other radios. Thank you. However, none of the items you mentioned, or anything similar, are in the area. The area has been the same for the last 2 years. The monitor is a DELL UltraScan Trinitron 21 inch (labeled Sony Trinitron for DELL). It was purchased with my DELL computer 7/98 and has given me excellent service until a few months ago. I've unplugged the monitor and plugged it into a different socket--------no change. > > Perhaps someone can help me.

Do dogs howl in the area of the monitor (g)? Actually a semi-serious question, becauase a cracked flyback can create very high-pitched noises. Do you have any good/cheap TV repair shops nearby? The only good ones I know of are not cheap and it is usually a better buy to replace a monitor rather than repair it. 7/98 _is_ quite a while ago in terms of a monitor used at high resolutions.. Try these, either as temporary fixes or diagnostics: a. Lower the color depth, your eye is not likely to tell much difference between 32-bit an 24-bit unless you are a graphics professional. b. Lower the resolution. Yeah, it stinks not having all that stuff on-screen at one time, but it may extend the life of your monitor. c. Lower the refresh rate. Again, unless you are a gamer or video professional you are not likely to notice a major difference. If any of these make a difference in your wiggling problem, then you know that the monitor is not working to the same standard that it was before. Start saving your pennies for a new monitor. |
