Is my Lacie CRT monitor Dying?

I have a 3 year old Lacie Electron Blue IV 19" CRT monitor. When I turn it on, sometimes it will turn black with a white line running from left to right in the middle of the screen. Sometimes it will happen after a half hour and sometimes it won't happen all day. When this happens, I turn the monitor off, then wait for ten seconds, turn it on, and that usually fixes it (temporary). I have checked the cables and made sure they have a solid conection and even tried plugging the power cord into a different outlet, but it hasn't solved the problem. Is my monitor dying or is it something else? Thank you for your replys,

it happens to me too... a white line in the middle and the monitor becomes fine after hitting very hardly from its top and its side... someone told me that my monitor is dying (its life is near to end).

As comments in youtube said, smack it.

Concerning LaCie Electron Blue IV...
In case any of you is still looking for an answer, let me tell you that a good old TV repairman fixed the problem within a week (although my Apple revender had freaked me out with a so-called FLYBACK problem and lots of people just suggested my machine was dead !). My daughter even saw one on the sidewalk under the rain on garbage day.

Connections had to be re-welded at a couple of places (main board/vertical deflection ; main board/yoke, vertical + horizontal ; connections on the power “mosfet”) and that was it.

After two weeks looking into LCDisplays (hundreds of reviews...), I had concluded my CRT display was worth much more than the $125 it cost me to repair the Monitor I am now looking at.

Yep, LCD monitors nowadays are cheap. With regards to the one who asked this question he/she must have bought either a brand new CRT or LCD after 2 long years of depression. LOL

Yes cheap in both senses of the word. My LaCieCRT is 5 years old and got perfectly checked and repaired for $125 - After reviewing lots of forums, nobody would expect that from any LCD, whatever its price. CRT is proven technology and the few technicians who survived the switch to LCDs agree on this.
Especially on THIS site and this forum, I felt it important to provide a followup on my initial question (last May) : Throwing away a machine like the LaCie CRT reminds me of the kind of moron who left old Spitfires or P51s, for that matter, rot in their hangar. Unfortunately, that includes LaCie shareholders and technical support.

Yes you're right, you could have added a few bucks on your repair costs and you could have bought a decent LCD display for you. It's alright we all learn from our mistakes. That's a good thing.

Well, I have an ancient Dell 17" Ultrasharp 1702FP (7 and a half years old actually, so it's older than your CRT) that still works flawlessly and looks pretty darn good. I also like the image quality of my Ultrasharp 2408WFP better than any CRT I have ever seen. Cheap LCDs are not great though - they can't hope to match a good CRT or non-TN LCD for image quality, and often, the manufacturer will skimp on build quality as well.
