Q.
A. LCD monitors are still the preferred choice for gaming. Sure, the colors on LED look more lifelike, but I'd rather spend the money of a large LCD than an LED at this point. It offers more value and the performance of current-generation LCDs is top-notch for gaming.
What is the problem with my LCD Monitor?
Q. Now, before answering this question, please bear in mind that..
- I do not wish to buy a new monitor.
- This monitor is/was top of the line, and during at the time of it's release, it was the best in it's series.
- This monitor is my baby, and like I mentioned above, I am NOT buying a new one.
- I do not have the money to buy a new monitor.
Okay, now that we've got that bit of information out there, here's the issue(s)..
As of recently, my monitor will not keep a constant picture.
When turned on, the screen will flicker brighter and darker, only to go completely black after about a second and half.
When this happens, the only way to restore the picture is to turn the monitor off and back on again. Which results in an inconsistent picture(as described above).
Now, please bear in mind that the monitor has power, that the monitor itself is not shutting off. It is only the picture, contents of the desktop, and etc, that I am losing a visual off of.
And no, the issue is not my video card. As I have tested 2 other video cards with this same monitor, as well as 2 alternative monitors with the main video card that I use within my system.
If it helps, the brand of my monitor is Hannspree. The model number is HF257, and it is 24/27 inches in width.
[Please, only serious answers. Thank you.]
Just to note, I have had this monitor for 4 and a half years.
And, ugh.. How much will this likely cost for me to get it fixed ?

A. LCD monitors have a back light to display the picture. This back light is a florescent bulb, or lamp. Just like any other lamp, they eventually die. Your symptoms sound like the lamp or the inverter (the device that powers the lamp) is dying.
You cannot fix this unless you want to dive into the monitor's innards. Your only alternative is to replace it or get it repaired. And this will cost more than the monitor.

Cost? Guaranteed more than the cost of a new monitor. I cannot give you a price because of the availability of parts, labor costs in your area, and such. But it WILL be more than a new monitor.
