Monitor just died

A2Z · 7 Jan 2011 at 14:16

Just turned on my DGM 24" and all I can see are vertical lines, no picture at all.

Im assuming this is how a dead monitor looks? Never had a dead one before.

Looking at my OcUK account I bought it on 14th December 07, and looking on DGM site it says warranty is 36 months, so 3 years...so im about 3 weeks out.

Is there ANYTHING I can do to get a replacement?

Or am I going to have to spend cash on a replacement?

outside of a warranty means no replacement

Yea

Whats the best 24" monitor to get?

Out of the OcUK Cream, Iiyama's and the BenQ G2420. Only thing putting me off the BenQ is only 2 year warranty.

ALso what panel are these? How does it compare to the PVA panel I had with the DGM? Which was excellent in every way, until today

Looking to order within next 30 mins!

Its deffo the monitor.

ALso have a 360 connected to it. Tried with just 360 turned on, which uses a different cable, same thing.
