How to move monitor screen to the left for an 84-year old?

It's dying. Pretty much simply that, something electrical or electronic (connections from panel to panel edge connectors, connection to circuit board, or internal to a panel matrix chip). Very likely unserviceable, if under warranty, take it back for service. Only other thing, check connector under back of monitor (if it has a connector at both ends). It's an Acer monitor, they aren't terribly durable, so if it's more than 2 or 3 years old, it's probably on it's way to deadville.

I'm a little unclear of what you are asking.

1) Screen has turned on monitor?

Press the CTRL key, and ALT key down at the same time.
Now tap on the Left Side Arrow key, until the screen is oriented correctly again.

2) Screen on monitor has shifted left, right, top, or bottom?
Use the controls on the monitor to set it correctly again.

3) Using dual monitors?
Right-click on an empty space on your desktop screen.
Left-click on Properties at the bottom of the list.
Left-click on Settings.

The monitor 1 icon is supposed to be your Primary monitor.
The monitor 2 icon is the Secondary monitor.

Ordinarily the Primary monitor is on the LEFT side, and the Secondary monitor is on the RIGHT side.
Just as shown in the Settings window.

If you wish to move a monitor to the other side, go to the monitor icon you wish to move.

Put your mouse cursor on the monitor icon you wish to move.
Left-click, and hold the left mouse button down.
Now drag the monitor icon you wish to move, to the other side.

Not doing it for you?
Then post in a Comment with more exacting information, as what it is that you wish to do.

It sounds like one of the backlights are going, or one of the inverter transformer and there are two capacitors near the inverter transformers that do give trouble. The monitor would need to be dismantled to investigate the problem and it will involve money, since it is four years old I would be inclined leave it alone until a new one is required.

dont know how old monitor is but it may be time for an upgrade OR the pc/laptop/desktop? may need some setting changes for your wake time, sleep time, intervals, etc.? Sometimes if laptop,, you have to tap the power button to wake up after extended sleep times.

If the screen is starting to shrink. The picture is getting smaller and smaller usually a sign on the crt's that the tube is shot. Don't quote me it could be something different.

Try changing the screen resolution of your screen

sounds like the LCD inverter gone bad.

you might get lucky in finding one on EBAY.


yeah gateway sucks on customer service.

maybe ur screen was put into a lot of magnetic interference. so check for any magnetic rays emitting devices like speaker adapters etc. a simple check would be to degauss( its in the screen properties). raja

first off, its is NOT 3 years, old, new to you but not new
not in the slightest is it NEW> in fact 2002 monitor !!!! oops get ripped off by fibbing sellers, that it?

RTM all there is is this RTM and play with knobs.

What is so wrong here, is no PC stated.
monitors this old do not work on modern PC, unless you learn how to do that. (skill sets that)
step one set PC to 800x600, (screen reso)
then plug it and and pray the CRT brain works. still

that is all there is to it.
power on PC set to 800x600 reso
power on CRT.
push left select button (spoon fed)
see no signal on screen, means PC is dead. signals on vGA jack.
see out of frequency, message , see 800 above.
that book stinks btw.
lets find others.

MV9500 right, MV missing on your first post why?
the 9500 , no mV is here.
it does have OSD screen , push select button
