Screen Trouble

[KCD]

Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 laptop running xpp sp3

When turned on the Toshiba & Windows greeting screens look good.

However, once it gets to the desktop screen then the bottom 2/3's becomes elongated.

Or 2/3's of the desktop looks like what a chalkboard would if mist was sprayed upon it.

This has happened before.

First thought that it was because it had been left in a vertical position for several weeks.

After several days in the horizontal position the screen returned to normal operation.

Thereafter the computer was left only in a horizontal position.

But today the trouble returned.

Is this a sign that the screen is failing or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks much,

Found a old crt video display & hooked up the laptop, problem disappears.

Looking around the web I see that replacement cost varies thus my question.

Does a laptop require the original mfgrs display or are such interchangeable provided that the replacement meets the same physical size & has the same hinges?

Thanks much,
