Well i was playing UT2004 online and all at once my screen turned dull and its kinda messed up with lines and color clones (less visible copy horizontally), anyways its all messed up and i dun know what i should do...i think there are 2 options only?
1. pay service to repair
2. buy a new one

Its about 2 1/2 years old from compaq, raion said his monitor burned out at abaout same time...
btw: can u plz tell me if this looks normal to u guys so i know its my monitor for sure? Raion told me already but im just double checking

look closely onto the black spots and horizontally from them, are the sides darker?
