lately i've been noticing that my monitor makes wierd clicking noises when starting up. like one time my screen was completely sideways and it clicked and went back to normal. 2 out of 9 times it starts up just a little crooked and clicks. is this normal?

is this normal?

Yes, all monitors click and startup sideways 2 out of 9 times, didn'cha know that!? :tongue:

No it's not normal and may require you buying a new monitor but as long as it goes to normal when click u'll be fine

come on guys! i need to know if my monitor will kick the bucket soon like mak-x's.

EDIT: thank you dark link.

Well mine used to do weird things. Black lines used to appear everywhere. For a 50 cent peice, cost 50 bucks to repair, sheesh.

Well you may want to ask someone at your local computor store.

Yeah, I would think about getting a new moniter. The machine I'm using now does that everyone other time you turn it on, its not that old either, maybe two years, so, I would get him/her/it a checkup.

My monitor is also clicking every time i start up or ener/exit a game... And nothing is wrong with it so far....🙄

So i guess your monitor is fine...😉

Well monitors tend to click and makes sounds when changing resolution/color depth. If you aren't changing any of that and it's making noises, then it's just letting you know it might kick the bucket soon.

Yeah, its normally because im changing resolution!! thats right....:scared:

But sometimes my monito also flickers for some unknown reason...

Monitor flicker - Due to interference, usually from Mobile Phones and other forms of communication.

Monitor click - Various monitors click for different reasons,

Also, some monitors, I've heard come with some form of Auto Degaus and they make 'clicking' noises when Degausing (if thats a word). It removes those wierd colour difference that you whould get if you placed a high power magnet next to a TV screen, damn usefull as PC's are loaded with magnets.

I think...

My monitor has deguass, but not auto deguass. Who the hell would want auto deguass? o.O Also, my monitor has some neat thing it does so now i get like minimal amount of dust. I used to get ALOT of dust. Now next to none.
