Why does my new LCD monitor black out for just a second?

premature back light failure. If you just got it, return it to the store and get a new one.

it shouldn't do that, try to unplug the monitor from the pc and then plug it back

Check the cabling between the monitor and the PC. It may be a bad connection.

It may be because of the electricity fluctuation. Or their may be a problem with your monitor's picture tube.

If you have it set to the highest level of brightness on the monitor and it still isn't bright enough you likely have a failing monitor. I have had the same problem before but there wasn't anything I could do. You can also see if there is a reset option but I don't think it will help.

Is it a CRT (huge, big box monitor)?\nIf it is, it seems that its going to die soon. The Flyback transformer may neet replacement. Go get an LCD already :D

monitor is taking a dump....crt tube is getting gassy...too much hi voltage...try turning down your brightness control

The monitor is working... this is the standby state, sounds like your "gateway" is having video problems try downloading a new driver for your graphics/video http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.asp

get a new screen, theres not much you can do for damaged pixels, though next time make the screen-saver turn on faster.\n\nhow old is the monitor?

try unplugging power ,and from video board,\nre-attach and reinstalling drivers,\n\ncheck:\n display properties/ settings/monitor / monitor settings / MHZ \nset at 60 or 70 etc. ...\n\ncheck monitor buttons brightness/contrast , default settings,

LCD monitors won't handle high refresh rates.  Your video card should be set to 60hz otherwise the LCD monitor will simply shut down and refuse to turn on (blink power)

Your monitor probably has buttons on the front of it for controling the brightness and contrast, and it sounds like those buttons are starting to wear out and "push" themselves. You could take it to a computer shop and get it fixed (they can replace the buttons), but if it's an old monitor, you're probably better off getting a new one.

Could be a bad monitor - sometimes that happens.\nOr there could be something that's causing interference such as a cell phone charging nearby, a fan running etc...

It may be the display adaptor hardware in your PC? I assume its integrated into motherboard so do you have (or can borrow) a PCI display adaptor to test this theory? or better yet another computer or laptop you can test the monitor with to see if its the problem or its your PC... Good luck!

Brand names really don't make much difference.  Sounds like the computer needs a new video card.  Perhaps the light setting dial under the monitor may have been moved to dark also.  Hoope this heps

isn't a problem with your monitor ???? \nif it's a CRT monitor, then remove the back ok ?\nsearch for some little variable resistors on the circuit board. there should be at least 3 pieces. in my monitor are 9 or 10. ok, i said 3, because you have 3 basic colors : Red, Green and Blue (RGB). each resistor will change one color, so check them, and set the colors to be good. hope you understood. i'm not so good in English :P\ngood luck :)\n\nand another thing : isn't a big speeker near the monitor ? sometimes powerful magnetic fields can change the colors.... white to pink !!!\n\nstill another idea : isn't your monitor's "data" cable bad ? NOT the power cable
