Damnit - make it stop shaking
I have this great 21" monitor at work which is perfect for my job (which deals with massive size spreadsheets) But now my monitor has the annoying "Shakes" where the picture vibrates. If I lose this monitor I'll probably be stuck on a crappy 17" job. :cry: MAKE IT GO AWAY!!

4. Do you have anything electric near it?
Or anything electric plugged into the same outlet. At my cube, I had to plug my little fan into a different outlet because the interference caused that problem with my monitor.

6. Hmmm...it has to be some sort of interference.
Hmmm...I hope you can figure it out. I loved my 21" monitor. It was probably the best thing about my old job. ;)

I'm sure even if it's a flat panet monitor they've got a certain life expectancy like anything else. If it's one of those big old CRT monitors I've dealt with that before. It was on it's last legs.

10. Anything new running?
Like an electric heater on the same circuit? My monitor at home "shakes" when the microwave is being used.

11. Stop feeding it quarters
Oh---you're talking about a monitor--not a vibrating bed at a Motel 6.

13. It's probably your video cable .......
for that size monitor you need a high integrity cable. This cable speed the data transfer to the monitor and filters out the line noise giving a clean data stream. thus the shakes and ghosting are eliminated.

15. LCD (thin anorexic looking thing) or CRT (Fat Albert on dope)?
The latter is susceptible to electric fields produced by audio speakers, running motors, fluorescent lights...

check the fixer valve. :D I had the same problem, and it was from my fan being too close to the monitor. Wish I could offer more help. :shrug:
