Hi there, I have a Viewsonic VX922 which has given me a couple of happy years. Recently after my computer has been powered down for a while, when I switch on I get this weird flickering black screen, switching the power on and off again several times eventually gets the picture back on, and after that its absolutely fine. I can switch it on and off once it starts working without any troubles.

Is this a problem with the "starter" or something, I'm no expert with monitors, but I know its definitely not my graphics card as I have had 3 different cards in the machine recently and had the same problem on and off with all of them...

I suppose it could be the cable, but after 2 years of perfectly fine operation and I havent moved it recently so it wouldn't be physical damage...

Ideas? (Maybe god wants me to hop on the widescreen bandwagon :P)
 
Guess it could be the backlight on the blink or perhaps a loose connection inside.. but never had a problem with either on my screens.
