Monitor gone bad?

Hi "hardware gurus", It seems that my monitor has gone bad... anyone with such unpleasant experiences out there? Here's the symptoms: 1) horizontal bands; darker where the opened windows are dark and lighter where they are light. 2) Boot into Windows, same symptoms. 3) Changing settings didn't help. 4) Rebooting neither, nor shuting down for hours. Could it be my video card? I wish... it would be cheaper! Thanks in advance, Alvaro Novo SuSE 7.1 Pro -=- Kernel 2.4.7-4GB -=- KDE 2.2 10:08pm up 31 min, 2 users, load average: 0.24, 0.13, 0.04
