I bought my lcd monitor on Oct 7th of 2008 on newegg so I've used it for roughly 2 years. Starting about 2 weeks ago, every time I turned it on, it would make a high pitched buzzing sound and it came from the top of the back. It went away until today. It won't stop. And I put my head above the back to look behind it (too lazy to move it lol) and it smells horrible. So it's pretty much going to die any day isn't it?

Is it possible to get LCD monitors fixed? If so, is it even worth it? Or should I just buy a new one. I think I'd like to upgrade to a bigger one (this one is 19") for movies and such anyways. But if it's not expensive to fix it, I might consider that too.

Nevermind... It just went black :rolf:. I can turn it off then turn it back on and the picture will come up. But within 3 seconds, it goes black again. It'll just do it over...and over...and over... f**k

FML. I use dual monitors. I CANNOT GO BACK TO 1. NNOOOOOOO. I don't wanna pay for next day shipping to get one by Friday on newegg. I might as well just go to Best Buy at that point and try to find a cheap one. Which is exactly what I'll do!

My monitor keeled over recently as well. Gave me an excuse to upgrade from a 19" to a 22' HD ready widescreen one. :D
