[-apoc-]

I have 2 LCDs right next to each other and both are Dell Ultrasharp 2001 FP One is about 4 years old the other about 3 and I honestly dont know which is which. Monitor 1 is suddenly having pixels appear to be flickering or almost dancing, especially in areas of a lightish blue where the color is slowly changing from one shade to another (The standard crystal background of WinXP just down and left of center and up and left of center). If I change the desktop to a solid color or run some of the dead pixel programs you dont see it but as soon as I change my background back it is there again. It also shows up in other places if I try different backgrounds. I have also switched the inputs and that makes no difference. One is on DVI the other is on whaterever the old blue plugs are called. Any idea on what to do here or just find some background that doesnt seem to cause it and get ready to buy a new one.

The other smaller problem is on the other monitor. In the top corners there is what looks like a yellow bleeds not very big but still annoying. Once again dead pixel programs dont fix it and in fact it shows a yellow tint to all the colors that pop up which makes me think it is actually something leaking into in between the crystals and the protective screens since it looks like it is in between them. Once again screwed since I believe both monitors are well past warrenty?
