I just got a new computer, which included a 20 inch widescreen Dell flat panel monitor. It's been working great so far, but today it's been giving me a little lip...
My computer is set up (like most people) to use a screen saver after idling for a little while, and then after an hour it goes into energy saving mode. Today it went into energy saving mode twice, and both times when I moved the mouse to bring it back, the screen remained black and gradually faded all to white, and then back to black. The first time, I turned off the monitor and turned it back on, and it worked fine. The second time, I left the computer for several minutes, and when I came back it was working okay.
I have been putting my computer into standby at night lately without turning off the monitor. I suppose something inside could be heating up, so could that be the issue? Could it be a problem with the monitor? Should I contact Dell to get a new one?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
