I bought an LCD monitor yesterday second hand that when plugged into both my SAM and PC laptop, will display a bright picture for about 1-2 seconds before all the brightness goes away. The image is still in the background VERY faintly.
I then found another LCD display in a roadside rubbish dump that displays the same symptoms.
I have never used an LCD monitor before. After playing with settings (what I can see with a near black picture) I believe the monitors to be faulty. Is it likely to be an easy fix for them? Is this a common fault for LCD monitors? I don't wish to get too involved, as I'll just chuck them if it's too much hassle.
