I have a Radius L-1 19" monitor and recently the image shifts about 3 inches to the left after I quit playing Everquest or if I change the refresh rate. I have had this monitor for about 18 months after I sent my first Radius L-1 monitor back to the manufacturer after about 6 months of usage. The 1st monitor's image became extremely corrupted.

Could my Voodoo5 5500AGP be causing the problem or is this just a prelude that my monitor is fixing to die? If my monitor is on its last legs, should I try and get my monitor fixed or bite the bullet and buy a new monitor? What 19" monitor should I buy which will be mainly utilized for pc games?

The only way I have been able to correct the situation is by either turning the monitor off and on around 10 times or turning my computer off for a while. Might the monitor be getting too hot to function correctly?

Thanks for any and all information.

Have you tried the "Position" option in the monitor control panel??

Yes, I tried that and the image would only shift about 2 inches to the right which still left some blackness on the right side. I decided to max shift to the right and shrink the image and found out that about the leftmost 1 inch of the image was missing. I am begining to suspect that the monitor is fixing to die on me. :/
