I own a Samsung CD-1452M EGA monitor which is about 2 yrs. old. Recently, i.e. within the last couple of months, the monitor has been taking a what I consider to be unusual amount of time to 'warm up'. Today, for example, it took 3 minutes for it to come on. I have it hooked up to an AT, the same one it's been hooked upto for the past year. Now, the way we operate the whole computer system is through a 6-outlet surge protector which just requires us to flip it on whenever we want to use the system. Is it possible that doing this instead of using the on/off switch on the monitor could have damaged the tube? Or could it be just the tube having been worn out from the frequent use it gets? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me as I hardly get around to reading this newsgroup. thanks... t.e. moore
