Hi, I have a dell lcd monitor that is only a year old and I sometimes seem to be getting small green dots poping up on the screen especally in pictures. Anyone know what this might be?
I am getting this EXACT problem and have been tearing my hair out over it for weeks. I'm using a Dell 19 inch LCD about 2 and a half years old now. Suddenly, these green dots appeared. I have tried everything to get rid of them.
- Reinstalled windows
- Reinstalled directX
- Used alternate drivers
- Reinstalled drivers for all multimedia addons
Nothing works! Still those same dots. They get worse over time too - more dots appear and when I move something on screen the dots streak. It is awful.
I have yet to look into:
- New cabling between monitor and video card
- New monitor
- Possible problem with the AGP slot?
If you are having any luck with this, PLEASE let me know, it is awful.
Are these not simply lazy LED's which can occur in both LCD Monitors & LCD Tv's? There is a EU standard regarding how much pixel drop out (or switch on) you are allowed.
I agree with Johnthephoneguy, also if u need assurance, i work in testing image processing equipment and some our pc's video cards used to test the equipment produce similar artifacts. Replace your video card and all will be normal once again.
