I recently purchased a used 17" ViewSonic flat panel monitor. I've been swamped with different ideas on how best to keep it clean, everything from alcohol-free premoistened wipes to using a soft, damp cloth. There are some smudges on the monitor, possibly fingerprints, since a friend had used it for …

When the computer is turned on, the screen ends up being totally light gray/white after flickering all black. Never had any issues with the laptop. Bubby in tech said it might be the "blue screen of death". Any ideas?

I returned from work yesterday and my monitor was completely dead. No power light - no nothing. It is only about 5 months old and showed no signs of deterioration. I tried new outlets, power cord, etc. to no avail. Any ideas of the cause or a fix? Thanks!

OK, 2 questions, likely unrelated. 1) When I start or restart my computer, sometimes the computer will essentially "stop loading" after the windows logo. This is sort of like [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread15125.html[/url], except there is no windows startup noise. I have a Dell 1907FP monitor with both an analog and a digital …
