    i turned on my monitor ( my pc stays on most of the time) and i saw that the display was down to about 50% of what it normally is. the rest is now black on both sides. i tried adjusting the h-size, but it doesn't move. and noone has touched my pc since the last time I used it. please help.

    thanx

    yeah thats a sure sign of the CRT on it's way out. usually you only get a black border and it grows with time. I've never seen one do it "all of the sudden" like that, but i'm it's possible.

    yep, it sure is, i had an AOC 17" that was 8 months old and one day i turned it on and it was fuzzed out so bad you couldn't see anything, it was toast.
