how about adjusting the contrast/brightness settings first. 3M makes anti glare shields if needed. sunglasses would be cheaper.

disconect the monitor cable from the video card and look at the pins....make sure one didn't get bent. it's way easy to bend one and it will usually throw off the color or brighrness. if thats ok, try adjusting the brightness and contrast on the monitor.

Have you tried adjusting the brightness? There are buttons on your monitor. There should be one for exit, one for selection and two for scrolling. click the selection button, then use the scroll buttons to reach the thing that looks like a sun.. click the selection button again and then click the scroll button to move it brighter. then click the exit button. you may also have a dying monitor. is it a crt (fat bulky one) or an lcd (flat panel) one

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)

Make sure the video connection on both ends, the computer and the monitor (some do come out) are tight.  If so try a different monitor.  If the new monitor is also yellow then it is your video card.  If the new monitor is fine then replace the other one.

all computer monitors blink, and soo fast that you dont really notice. This is why your eyes get sore after staring the the screen for a long time. Maybe your settings are soo low that you can actaully see it flash. \nRight Click on the desktop and go to Properties-Settings-Advanced-Monitor- and change the Refresh Frequency.

If your screen showed up white on your laptop then it's not the backlight.  Your screen would be very dark and pretty much impossible to read without a backlight.  Since you tried another monitor and had the same result, or at least that's how I understand it, it sounds like it's a graphics issue.  It's possible that the shock of slamming the lid shut has caused damage to your motherboard.\n\nIf in fact you could see everything when you used a monitor, you very well could have broken a contact on your motherboard, broken a cable, or something entirely more fun than either of these.  You could break out the multimeter and check contacts, but that may prove to be quite tedious.  It seems like your problem is directly linked to the connection of the LCD.  Poke around a bit and see if a ribbon cable isn't seated properly or something else.  I'm not familiar with Dell's method of routing the video signal from the mobo to the screen.  Good luck.

More than likely your refresh rate is set incorrectly for your particular monitor. (This is measured in Hertz (Hz) and is the rate at which your monitor displays it's picture.) \n\nDepending on your resolution settings and type of monitor, there are suggested settings by the manufacturer you need to apply.\n\nEven if the screen and text look clear, if the refresh rate is set incorrectly, it can cause a flickering of the monitor screen... often times at such a high rate that you can't visually detect any difference.\n\nHowever... your brain and eyes actually do. This leads to dizziness, nausea, and eye weakness. \n\nI'd either contact your desktop support people where you work, or find out who manufactures your particular monitor and model, and check to see how to adjust the settings properly.\n\nGood luck.

If you have a laptop then hold the FN key and push the button that looks like a monitor on one of the F keys prob. f3 or f4 dont know urs!?! lol!

Try the power settings on your computer. \n--or--\nif you have another pc, try connecting the monitor to that\n--or--\nupgrade your OS. ME is the worst OS by MS.

You may need a color program balance the sharpness of your DVI connection I use a program called Natural Color which came with my monitor. It sounds like the sharpness of your monitor needs to be adjusted.  Also DVI is brighter than analog.

If you look at your monitor (assuming here that it is a desktop), there should be an area on the bottom that brings up settings for it.  Not just the brightness tab, but look under the contrast as well.  Oh and don't forget to look at the user settings as sometimes those have an effect as well.

I would try to hook it up to an external monitor and see if it works normally. If it does, I'd guess the backlight is out, which is located at the bottom of the LCD panel. Not many repair shops know how to repair such a thing. Usually when the inverter goes out, you can still see a dim image.\n\nhttp://www.screentekinc.com sales laptop screens and has removal instructions on their site as well. The manufacturer will over charge you for the screem, if you do need one and you're no longer under warranty.\n\nGood luck.

If it is an older monitor, your picture tube may have gone bad (if so, you might as well throw it away), if it is new, i would supect the cble connecting the monitor and the computer is dammaged, or the connector at the end. Other than that, unless you have electronics expirience, thier is probably nothing inside it that is broken, that you could fix.

it will be in your display settings under colour adjustment \nor some computers you can adjuct useing the keys just consalt your manual \nelse it may be the backlight that has failed if it is an lcd monitor
