Problem for E-Machines (R) eView 17f3 17" Flat CRT Monitor,...

The screen flickers into hour-glass figure.

The screen doesn't flicker like it would when the refresh rate is low,it actually flickers very quickly in a split second motion that makesthe entire display that I'm looking at distort into an hour glassfigure. The browser that I was looking at right now as I typed waswarped into an hour glass figure and I could see the black empty spaceof the screen surrounding the "hour glass".
It's a CRT monitor, 17 in screen eView 17f3 model 786N and it'shonestly scaring the **** out of me every time it does it. Maybe I'mparanoid but I think it might explode.

- Thanks for such a quick response!

Will anything happen if I just leave it be?
How much longer do I have until something happens such as the screen going out completely?

- Is there anything I can do to extend the life of the monitor tube as long as possible until I get a new one?

It's the tube going out. You need to replace it. If you want to stay with CRT monitors, you should be able to pickup a used one for around $10.00 on Craigslist.

- It won't hurt the computer, or blowup. It will probably just stay the same or go flat line at sometime in the future.

- There is a monitor setting to adjust it, but it most likely won't hold.

- Nothing to help extend it, powering it off/on is probably the harshest thing to do. So, leave it on as much as possible.
