White line on monitor

[Bluemouse]

Hi guys,

I have an acer LCD monitor, and recently I noticed a horizontal white line appearing approx 1/4 of the way down the screen. It changes colours somewhat when it has a different coloured background.

It is still there when the logo appears from acer BEFORE it starts displaying from my computer. It's 1.5 years old, but I only have a 1 year warranty.

Is there any way I can fix it? Thanks!!

You can have a failing video graphics adapter, or a failing monitor/screen. Best thing to do is trade out monitors first. Then replace the drivers.
Be sure you have a clean system.

er, the line is still there even when I unplug my monitor from my computer and turn it on. It is there when the logo displays.

I Think tis your montior thats faulty.

I realize that, but since it isn't a dead pixel (white/transparent, not black), there has to be some way to fix it, isn't there?

I've read up on how to fix single stuck pixels, but I don't know how to fix a line of them.

It is not the pixels, it is the internal "gun" that directs the lines to the screen. Not fixable for less than the cost of a new screen.
