Hi people

I have dead pixels on my monitor (CRT). Its not a TFT. This are no scratches on the monitor's surface.
My uncle told my, that software-programs can cause those damages. Is this true?
I can not imagine, that a program can destroy pixels.

This problem is since 1997. I have change my whole system. In 25cm distance to the graphics-card there is a tv-cable. Could this be the problem. All of the components of the pc i have changed but the place where the pc stands ist still the same

Can somebody help me please?

CRT monitor are susceptible to dead spots, there are no "pixels" on a monitor. If the dead spot stays within the image and moves when you move the image, the problem is most likely with your video card memory not the monitor.

On shadow mask monitors there are phosphor dots one red, green and blue that make up what is called a triad. In AG monitors there are stripes of phosphor. If one of these dots is missing or damaged or a small section from an AG stripe is missing, a small dark spot can be seen. CRT's can have dead phosphor spots, however they are not as common as dead spots on LCD monitors. If the spot bothers you, call the manufacturer and try to get another unit. However if your unit looks good otherwise and you are happy with it there is no guarantee that the next one will be better. Monitors are like fingerprints, and no two are alike.

Good Luck
