I bought a LED monitor less than a month ago. Until yesterday I never had any kind of problem, all worked perfectly well.
Today while I was away from keyboard but still close to the screen, I saw that the screen suddenly turned all black with large (maybe 100 pixels, I don't really know) white/very clear pink vertical stripes. I couldn't see my desktop at all nor anything familiar but these vertical stripes.
I turned off all my computer, checked out 3 times the plugs. Turned on and I couldn't even see anything but these stripes.
After an hour of desperate tries, it worked back. However I still have a major stripe (clearer than the normal background, about maybe 100 pixels large) with a red vertical 1 pixel stripe constantly flashing.
I've tried to plug my CRT monitor and I have no problem at all, so it's not my graphic card but my LED monitor.
I took so much care of it that I can't think about anything bad that could happen to it, not even electricity problems since I've plugged it through a stabilizer just like my whole computer. The ambiant is not too dry, not too wet. The monitor has not a single scratch nor anything different from a new one.
I've searched a lot on google and never read anything like that.
Do you have any idea of what it might be?
The model is a LG flatron E1940. Fortunately I have the warranty so I'll head there as soon as I can (probably wednesday afternoon).
