Also the screen has become darker, does anyone know how to fix this? Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/23399-monitor-shutting-off/

They may be willing to let you ship it back and repair it for a fee if its not under warranty. Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/23399-monitor-shutting-off/#findComment-275677

Wrathek Posted October 18, 2009 Content Count: 1839 Joined: 09/28/08 Status: Offline Share Posted October 18, 2009 you definitely need a new one. means there are bad capacitors on the main board. I bought on off of ebay for REAL cheap to see if i could fix it, but ended up giving up and buying a very nice one off of newegg bc none of the caps even looked damaged. As far as brands, you can't go wrong with Samsung or Hanns-G. I personally have fallen in love with Hanns-G over the past few years, and just purchased the HH221 (on newegg, just search for it) and its fantastic.

We switched monitors with the PC downstairs and its working fine there, so I just need to find out where the drain is coming from it seems.
