I have viewsonic #vx2235wm monitor that the screen is very bright and distorded, tried to adjust brightness and that did not correct the problem. can you help the monitor has be in use only 10 months. if this helps the roblem accoured after i left the monitor on all night.

Look to see if there is an "auto" setting, this would override the manual settings.

This really sounds like you have a power supply board that is having problems with the filter capacitors which are causing it to not start up correctly. Here is a like to a repair guide including video instructions showing how to open and repair the monitor.

Part one of the video guide:

If you have an Auto Adjust option on your monitor, press that and it should adjust the screen to the correct size.
The button should be on the panel or it might be a setting in the monitor settings itself.

Hope that helps

It may have unstable power supply feeding the logic board and causes strange problem. Open it up and inspect the caps for leaking/bulging tops/seals.

1 Check the brightness control on the laptop should be a Fn+ ( key on the keyboard)
check the user manual for the laptop function keys.

Hi!

Its actually normal. That normally happens to some monitor models at the 6500K setting. Try a higher one.

I hope this helps.

You can down load user manual and read the instruction on how to adjust the monitor.

More likely to have bad caps, see example here: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

Tricky one. Have you tried using different dispay resolutions from your Windows Display Control Panel?
ie 1200x1014, 1600x1400, etc.

When you say you used the manual adjust, do you mean the horizontal sync option?

Did you perform a Settings Recall?

And most monitors have a way of entering into an engineering "Factory Service Menu". Usually by depressing specific buttons while the monitor is OFF, and then pressing the power button while still holding the others. Then let all button go at once. From there, hit the normal button that you use for getting into the OSD. In the OSD, there's usually a new field with all kinds of cool new settings to play with. One of them being a soft reset. You'll have to search the net for how to enter into your Factory service menu.

Oh wait! I know!
