Dell Flat Panel Monitor garbled, colored dots & lines?

Graphics card probably. Those colored dots could be on their way to becoming dead pixels. I would be worried. Don't want to scare you, but you might want to a computer repair store. That would be better than trying to replace your graphics card because you're not even sure if that's the problem. I saw this in another computer, but it went away after a while. Hopefully that will happen to you too. Your welcome. \n\nP.S. Are you from India, your name sounds Indian.

What kind of display do you have?  LCD or CRT.  Sometime your monitor won't do certain resolution.  I believe your card should always be able to support lower resolution.  My guess is that you may have a hardware incompatibility problem.  May be update your driver software from Dell will help.\n\nGood luck.

What type of graphics card do you have? Try to uninstall the display adapter then reinstall it. This should take care of your problem, but the monitor is not the issue here no matter what. The 4 bit comes from the display adapter and that has to be properly installed before your monitor can show the true color.. Hopefully the display adapter is okay------ which I am sure that it is---\nAny other questions, I/M or email me. =)) Hope this helps you!!

Check that the monitor cable is correctly connected.\nIf it is, then get a new monitor from some place with a good returns policy - just in case the problem is with your graphics card!!

Next time it goes blank, try pressing the menu button, if the menu comes up, suspect the video card.  If the menu doesn't display, replace your monitor.  Of course, check the cable connections first.

If all the connections are checked out and allright, you should try to contact the manufacture of your monitor.  It does not look like a problem with your computer or vedio card.  But monitors can often be flaky.

ur monitor might be out dated. I had a ol packard bell monitor that took 30 min to warm up and then it was blurry and all messed up becasue of it's old age.

Turn down the frequency.  It's one of the options that you might be able to set from right clicking the desktop and going to properties.  It should be somewhere near setting monitor resolution.\n\nIf you can't even do that, try booting to Safe Mode upon bootup.

I have the same issue with mine, I am not sure of what can be done yet, as I have taken mine apart and checked all the connections / cables pertaining this this LCD problem. However,Your laptop can still work with an external monitor. So for a short term fix you need to acquire another monitor / LCD Monitors are reasonably priced now.\nUntil we find the real fix....

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.

I'm thinking it's a power supply in the monitor.  You might want to try another monitor to assure yourself that the problem is indeed with the monitor.

Driver issue, there is not a correct driver for this and WinXP is forced to use default drivers which do not have the correct resolution. The solution is to use PowerStrip to force the monitor to recognize a correct resolution.\nSee the link below.
