I bought a monitor and at first glance it seems fine, no dead pixels and screen resolution is fine. However, after a second, the display cuts out and the screen is black. If I turn the monitor off and on again or plug it out of the pc and back in again then the display comes back again for about a second.
It only has VGA input. Now the first thing I'm thinking is the VGA cable? Is there any chance it can be faulty. Unfortunately I didn't have a spare VGA cable so didn't try yet although I know there's probably one lying in the house somewhere. Or am I totally wrong in thinking the fault is in the cable and perhaps it is with the monitor itself? It's odd though as the monitor does not have any signs of damage and seems to be in very good condition and has no sounds or anything that signals it's broken.
