P991 Goes Blurry

Does anyone know why the right side of the P991 monitor goes blurry, causing me to turn it off for 20 sec. and then on again. Does this happen to anyone else?

    I have a P991 also and have had a similar problem on at least three occasions. My whole screen went blurry like looking through opaque glass. Hopefully someone can answer the cause. I have already replaced the video card. I am still using the Dell drivers for my Nvidia 64 MB GeForce 2 GTS.

    When does your monitor go blurry? Mine goes blurry mostly every time I use it. It usually happens in WORD 2000. That's usually the only thing I open on the computer. Besides the screen saver. I honestly don't think it has anything to do with the drivers or video card. I just think the monitor "gets tired" ?? Maybe I need a new one. maybe you could give me your e-mail, sgme9 ?

    Both of you send your monitors back to dell and get them replaced, hopefullly you are still within warranty periods, this happened to me and a new monitor solved the problem, there is no reason for this to occur in a monitor, if the rep can't get a mental picture of what you speak about tell them it looks like a mirror in a bathroom after a hot shower, that's the description that I used and it got me my monitor replaced and it has been working perfectly since.

    The Email Dell Tech said that I should adjust my morie thing, which was defaulted at 0 I went all the way to the right, I saw no difference, but then I left it at about 5. I think I will see if this clears up the problem for me. By the way, how long are the warrenty periods? And how did you go about exchanging your monitor, I know that I'll probably have to pay shipping :( ?

    All of the monitors I work with come with a 3 year warranty.
