I have a mitsubishi diamond plus 230sb which just happens to be out of warranty not so long ago! It just started to go blurry on me this morning, I don't just mean slightly bad on text etc, the whole screen is quite badly blurred.

Does anyone know what may be the problem? I'm figuring something has gone and perhaps need a new part. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? If so what was needed to fix it? Have searched on this topic and found people with simple settings problems but this is def more than settings thats the problem I think.

Any advice appreciated, thanks...

Have you tried cleaning your glasses?

Graphics card ? Try it on someones elses kit before you buy a new one.

Are you sure you have tried all the knobs, is there a sharpness setting? Perhaps someone knocked it?

Like Oli says, try it on another machine.

Have you tried banging it?

Less gin more tonic?

Don't wear any glasses i'm afraid, I havn't tried the monitor on another system but I've tried another monitor on my system and it's fine.

I'll try get another system to plug into and double check the monitor itself. Anyone else had this problem and needed a new part or something?

The monitor is bust... happened to me before... never found out why though, but I guess that's the end of the monitor's life

It happens.

I'm just speculating here, but I bet the money you spend on fixing a monitor would be almost as much as buying a new one.

Also, I'm not sure how many "parts" can be reinstalled in a monitor - since it's basically a single part - a picture tube with a couple circuit boards attached. Picture tubes can't be repaired as far as I know. Might as well just get a new one as soon as you're sure it's your monitor that's the problem.
