    I have had a Sceptre LCD monitor for about six monthes.

    I dontknow if that is a known brand, hell I brought it at Walk-Mart.

    It's worked fine until this morning when nothing would show up on the screen.

    When i turned the computer and monitor on the monitors on like just flashed. When I messed with the buttons the on button flashed red.

    I took the monitor off and put my roommates monitor on and it worked.
    When i turned the (2nd) monitor on, it said it was autoadjusting the settings and eventually worked.

    I changed the resolution of my computer to a lower setting, which were under the resolution of the monitor (1280x1024) hooks MY monitor up and no change.

    Then i hooked up the 2nd monitor which worked right away.
    I then restored my computer to several weeks before and hooked up my monitor again, no change.

    Im at a loss.

    I hooked my monitor up to my laptop with no change.
    I hooked my monitor up to my room mates computer with no change.

    Any help or advice wouldbe appreciated.

    I think you need to return the monitor for a replacement under warranty. Sceptre monitors are usually good, but problems sometimes happen.
