No power to monitor

My friend say her 3 yrs. Philips monitor is broken after didn't use it for a week.
And ask me to help select new one.

I try ask how it happen?
She said After plug it up, it spark at the socket and No power light up anymore.
Her Philips monitor plug type coming with ceramic fuse so that spark might blown it. But we don't have any fuse to replace.

After look at the back of a monitor the plug cord can be remove, so we replace it with a plug with no fuse. Now a monitor light up perfect ^ ^

Blurry text on my monitor SyncMaster 743nx

One day i found one of PC in office has a very blurry text
So annoying all text from Destop Icon to Web content. Font are very hard to read.


First, i try setting monitor resolution but no help.
then try all the VGA properties setting, clear type, etc. not thing make the font sharper.
Then I thought maybe a monitor driver cause the problem so i remove and installing new driver from official site. Umm still not the point. Text still blur.


This time i think this monitor is malfuntion. I touch turn off button and thought about contact the shop for replace one.



By mistake my finger touch the Auto button that locate at no.5 instead of button 6 (see above pic) This auto adjustment button i've never notice it before, screen go blank few second.

Surprise it come back with fresh and a lot sharper text.

Note: If using DVI cable to connect your monitor monitor's Auto button will be not available
