HOW TO ADJUST BRIGHTNESS E176FP DELL MONITOR - Dell E176FP 17" LCD Monitor

Does it look anything like this? I'm no computer guy at all, but I had that issue with my Dell laptop and the line disappeared completely. How? After watching that bright green line getting Ionger and longer every day I stopped using my laptop for one whole week due to the holidays. After that first week I turned it on to check some random file and to my surprise, the line was a lot smaller and disperse. I had this 2 week long trip the following week so I decided leaving my laptop at home to see if the line kept getting smaller. When I got home from my trip I turned on my laptop hoping the line were actually reduced, and it was completely gone, completely and absolutely gone. I would recommend you to stop using your lptop for 3 weeks or so. Good luck

Hi,

You can follow these steps:

2. Select OSD settings

3. Select OSD lock

Hope this helps

You may loose connections at the end of the VGA cable, or video card not seated tightly. I would check that first.

Here's the manual for your monitor.

If you got it with the stand it usually comes with, I'm afraid the height is not adjustable. The screen can tilt toward you and away from you, but that's all.

Sorry I don't have better news!

well that could be because the screen is going bad. you might want to get another one or take it in to get it fixed, no more than 100 to fix your screen.

I do not like to mark this kind oif advice with "solution" but really, the monitor has developed an internal fault with the electronics and cannot be fixed by the average person, if at all.
If I had it, I would disassemble it and check the electrical commections around the back light, taking particular attention to the areas around the edges in case there has been any spill over the time, where something might have gotten in around the edge of the "glass".
But, it looks to me like you are going to be up for a new monitor. I hope I am wrong and you have some luck with it.

memory ic software currupted..

Auto Adjust work on the basis of resolution to which Windows set. It occurs mostly if Video drivers are not installed. Please check and install video drivers and also try to change screen resolutions from display properties in control panel.....

If you monitor is a E176FP then No

Hi,
In case you have connected both the DVI and VGA cables to the back monitor can cause this problem. Try unplugging one of the cables and check if the problem gets resolved
