So... anyone got a spare moniter they can give me? this one just stopped using the the side 1/4s of the screen, and is prettty distorted in the middle too. Advice on getting a new one might be nice too. What about those flatscreen jobs?

EDIT: The screen is now alternating between being even more distorted and turing itself off.
Exciting.

Have you tried de-Gaussing it?

Only 5 times. Plus it does it automatically sometimes. :)

I have significant experience in formal and informal IT support. There's a reason why all support scripts start with the blindingly obvious questions. :-P

No, I have spare monitors at this time. People worth asking: Shevek and martin (the latter's in Japan at the moment though, so may not be exacly useful). Given the logistics of getting a CRT from Bath to Paisley, though, a new TFT may be both cheaper and less hassle. ;-)

They start with the blindingly obvious because a retard might be having the problem, not your physicist boyfriend. -_-
