Answer» Hey all, About 3 weeks ago I started having intermittent issues with my display. It's a Samsung 2033SWPLUS and about 2 1/2 years old. First, the screen resolution would suddenly change and I'd have to go into to control panel to change it back. That lasted for a couple of weeks. Now, for the last week the screen keeps flickering to black. It only lasts 1 or 2 seconds and when it comes back the windows are no longer FULL screen. If I happen to be watching a video when it flickers, it freezes and comes back with a 2 inch black stripe up the left hand side. Now I'm stumped. Does anyone know if this is something I can fix or am I going to be up for a new MONITOR ?. Thanks & Regards, Personal Info removed... It's never a good idea to do that on a public Forum.Can you try the monitor on another COMPUTER to help determine if it is the monitor or something else (LIKE your video card) on the computer?truenorthI agree with truenorth, try another monitor before anything else. Quote It only lasts 1 or 2 seconds and when it comes back the windows are no longer full screen. <-- This seems odd. In my experience it does this when your graphics driver fails, and then is recovered seconds later. What operating system do you use? I know that in Windows 7, if your graphics driver fails, it will notify you once it has recovered.Thanks for your suggestions can you give me some following steps of it.Your signature (which we will have to remove, by the way) says you are a tech support specialist and you don't know how to swap monitors?Actually, it says that he provides the problems. Which would make a lot of sense if he doesn't know how to swap a monitor around!

About 3 weeks ago I started having intermittent issues with my display.
It's a Samsung 2033SWPLUS and about 2 1/2 years old.

First, the screen resolution would suddenly change and I'd have to go into to control panel to change it back. That lasted for a couple of weeks.

Now, for the last week the screen keeps flickering to black.
It only lasts 1 or 2 seconds and when it comes back the windows are no longer FULL screen.
If I happen to be watching a video when it flickers, it freezes and comes back with a 2 inch black stripe up the left hand side.
Now I'm stumped.
Does anyone know if this is something I can fix or am I going to be up for a new MONITOR ?.

Thanks & Regards,
