On board video bad?
On the monitor I'm getting what I would call squigglies or crawlly artifacts around hi contrast images(black letters on white background,etc. The computer is a HP 7500(I think) with on board video.
other specs: 10g HDD 512m ram Win NT Ive swapped monitors with no change in the crawllies. So is the on board video dying or something else? |

One thing you might want to try if you can is that some monitors have a 'degauss' button on them. That's the first thing I'd try to clear it up. It will kind of make the screen jump and get wavey for a second and then clears it up.
Otherwise, how old is your monitor? |

Rudedog: I've done the degauss when I first saw the problem and have the same problem with the second monitor. The monitor in use now is about 2yrs old (sony 21' flat crt). I'm thinking I may have a cap in the video section getting weak.
Look forward to other ideas. Thanks. |

Are there any magnetic fields near the monitor, such as a subwoofer or unshielded speakers?
