I have a CTX VL710 that I've been using for about 5 years now. Every once in a while the monitor will make a quick "crack" sound and the screen will blink off and come back on. Sometimes I can smell ozone after this happens. Also, lately the monitor has been flickering at times. Are these a monitor's death throws? Should I start looking for a new one? I admit I don't really know how to troubleshoot monitors so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
