Monitors

I like watching streaming and dvd movies on my computer. My problem is that after 20 minutes of no activity (even when the movie is playing) my monitor goes black and gives me a "No Signal" message and then turns itself off. This has occasionally caused my computer to crash. To me, it feels like the computer wants to go into like a sleep or screen saver mode, because it happens after 20 minutes. I have tested this by moving my mouse at intervals during a movie and then have experienced no problems.

I assume there is something built into the monitor to turn it off if it does not seem to be in use.

Any ideas?

What is causing my dad's computer to not display images clearly. Especially while using the internet. Things like google images and other photo images on the internet. They are displayed as a blur.

OK well today on my computer I see my cursor on the screen rapidly flickering and if I don't move the mouse for a second it disappears. When I move the mouse again it comes back up but why is it doing this? It's kind of annoying me.

It's not a hardware issue, as the tinge goes away when I use the monitor with my xbox 360, or when I run a computer game. It's a little unnerving, though as it happened so suddenly and without warning. I didn't change the settings, either on the computer or monitor. Please help. It hurts my eyes.

Suddenly I see the screens about 1/3 too big. For instance when I view the YAHOO! page I have to scroll it to the right to read the edges of it. I believe a setting has been innadvertently changed, but I don't know which one or what to set it to.

I found a mag 22" lcd monitor on sale for $240 bucks. It has a 2 ms response and a 1400:1 ratio. It sounds great on paper but I can't find a review for it. Anyone know about it? How about the video7 22" with a 1000:1 ratio? is 1000:1 really that much more noticeable than 700:1?

I have a Dell Dimension 5150c. I want to run dual monitors but can't find a card that fits because it is too slim. If I connect a single monitor card and run it with the onboard video still enabled will I get dual monitor capabilities?

Looking at the back of my laptop, I can see USB connectors, a network connector and some 3.5 audio mini plugs. They are all modern and small and nifty. But there's also a massive dirty 15-pin blue thing for an external monitor! Those things are ancient! Any they have screws! Yuck!

Surely they need a better-looking and younger relative to take over?

(OK, OK, 3.5 audio mini plugs are also ancient, but you know what I mean!)

I have a HP Pavilion a1410n and all of a sudden the monitor does not work but the computer and all the lights work. I checked the monitor with a different PC and it works fine. The computer fans started to spin faster than usual. I got a new video card and that still does not solve the problem.
