I've had to replace the monitor three times and it's gone again. I don't know if Gateway is sending us bad monitors or the video card is bad or something else is bad.Has anyone else had a problem like this. Thanks for any help

What monitor is it? How long of a life is each one being used for?

i had a similar problem with a sony flat crt moniter and a v3 2000.

I blew out about 3 moniters :)

so i switched to a viewsonic (Canadian brand) and haven't had a problem since.

What Gateway monitor did you get, and what did they send as replacement? I had a EV700, after about 8 months it got all wierd and funny on me. Green lines all over and it was just wacked. They send me another EV700 and after about 3 months it did the same thing. Then they sent me the one I have now, its like a EV720 or something like that. I havent had anymore problems.

Someday I will stop asking all the questions!

I say let them keep replacing it. If it was something else they will say "it isnt the monitor, we are going to come and check it out so you stop clowing these monitors" or something like that :) They are not makeing much if you keep trashing monitors and they gave you a warrenty, so they will try to find the problem before you vlow too many more hehe
