Dell 2000FP

Question

I've had this unit for over 2 years and lately, last 6 weeks or so, when I turn it on, there is a multi-colored blotch maybe 65% of the screen from the bottom up. After about 20 minutes of being on, the blotch mysteriously goes away. But the color is a bit light and then colors go back to normal and the screen works fine the rest of the day. Its run off a 650 (dual monitor capable) and I have another 2000FP next to it. No problemns on the other 2000. When i switch screens, the problem stays with the problem screen.   Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

codydog, Does this blotch appear running the monitor Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)?

Yes, but only for about 20 minutes. Then the problem clears up and the monitor is fine all day long. Even if I re-start the pc, its the same thing. I switched the primary/secondary monitor settings so I could log into my account and do my work.   Any ideas?

codydog, Checking. When I hear anything I will post it.

I have 3 x 2000FP, 1 x 2001FP and a 19' Flat Panel, so, I'm kind of curious!

I was wondering if theres any follow up here? The black spot doesnt go away anymore, so I'm guessing the monitor is dead and needs replacement. Any ideas besides buying a new 20 incher?
