Just bought a new 19 inch LCD and gave my cousin my 17 inch CRT . She gave me her old 15 inch back as she doesn´t know what to do with it.

Donate it to a local public school. You can claim it on your taxes as a non-cash charitable contribution.

The flyback transformer is cracked.\nFlybacks are expensive.\nGenerally, it's cheaper to get a new monitor unless it's like a 21" or something.\nOk, I am not going to say 100% that it's the flyback, sometimes the power supply can whine too, but that is rarely combined with a bad smell. I'd say about 95% it's the flyback.

Actually the lifespan is about equal and all depends on how well you care for your monitor and use it.  I've seen old white IBM monitors outlast LCDs strictly because they were kept dust free, not used very often, and in general just well kept.  On the flipside, I've seen CRTs go out within a year's time (personal experience) compared to the 5 years an LCD has lasted me thus far.  Again, it all goes to how much you use it and how well you care for it.\n\nLCDs are prone to damage, like any electronic device, if you misuse it.

Hopefully your laptop has a S-Video connection -- if it does, you can buy a special cable to do this.\n\nIt might want to just buy a new monitor, you can get a 15 inch cheap.

Usually the CRT/LCD option on a laptop isn't regulated by windows though. hmm.. I'm pretty sure if your laptop has an S-Video out, it also has an SVGA out which you can just plug a normal monitor to it and use the CRT/LCD function on your laptop without problems.

CRT always ROCKS. It is bulky. I understand that but on the other hand unmatched picture quality, colour quality, unmatched brightness and contrast ratio. All this contributes in deciding a good display and you see all these qualities in a CRT. Fast moving images is an issue in most of LCD. Costly than CRT. Even pixelation issue. I would vote for a CRT.

That was hilarious. Buy another monitor. X)

Sounds kind of dangerous, I'm not sure. Depending on how old it is and what type of tv it is, it could be an exploded tube or fried wiring!

It is a relatively "normal" problem for all LCD screens to have minor defects. I would suggest that you take it back while you still can, because it will drive you crazy otherwise. I had a stuck pixel on my LCD television, and we had to talk the guy at the store into exchanging it, because their policy (which BestBuy also told me was the policy of most computer manufacturers) is that there have to be something like 6 seperate bad pixels for them to take it back. It's considered a "normal" thing for one or two of them to be bad. Pffft I say!

vertical oscillator/driver shot. shorted capacitor, or maybe transistor/ic? \nnowadays, you might as well trash it if you can get a halfway decent deal on a flat panel. or give it to your cousin who's MIT material to see if he can fix it.

Do you have a CRT monitor (like a TV, rather than a flat panel)?  If so, it may be on its way out.  See if you can borrow a friends' monitor and see if it does the same thing...
