Monitor etching
I have a Dell Trinitron monitor, about 4 1/2 yrs old. It starting showing marks on the screen that look like an Etch-o-sketch, like someone took an instrument and scribbled all over the screen. It looks like scratches but from the inside. I believe it is traisl from the mouse movements. I have lived with it but the problem is getting worse and it is now very hard to look at the screen anymore. I use a screen saver, and my monitor is set to turn off after 30 mins of inactivity. What could be causing this and is there anything that can be done about it?

Sony Trinitron is getting older, and at the end of its life. Time to look for a new monitor. If possible, wait for a good promotion from Dell or a coupon from one of the below sites and try to get a good deal on another monitor, perhaps LCD
