The 214T flickers for a few seconds and then goes black. Most of the time, after one hour or so, it will light up and stay up. During this time I am constantly turning the monitor on and off from the front control panel.

Hello,

Flashing or flickering is a common indication of failing capacitors in the power supply board. The fix is very simple and just requires replacing 5 capacitors on the board. They will need to be soldered. Here is a link to a repair guide for the Samsung 214T units. http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/samsung-214t-repair/

Hello,

The flickering problem you have is caused by a failing power supply. There are parts called capacitors that are failing and causing the power supply board to put out pulsing voltages until it can stabilize. We have a repair guide posted on our web site at: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/samsung-214t-repair/ If you can soldethen you should be able to do the repair yourself. If you don't want to do the repair we offer a repair service for this unit. You can get details for that service here: http://www.ccl-la.com/blog/index.php/service-request-form/
