My friend gave me the exact same monitor that I have. Syncmaster T220. He didn't use it as it was just sitting in an office.
I brought it home and hooked it up but it has lines through the screen and the colors are off. It looks really bad and fuzzy.
I assume it's broken but maybe there is hope... Maybe I can calibrate it or do some dead pixel test?
I made sure it was not the cables. I plugged in one monitor at a time just to do a fair test and use the same DVI cable.
There are no big artifacts. Every on the screen like the taskbar lines up, Firefox is proper, etc. It's just the quality and it's fuzzy. Text is not very readable.
Here is a comparison of both desktops. Pictures don't really do justice. Had to take it with the flash otherwise you couldn't tell.
See the green at the bottom of the bad monitor?
