Or.....perhaps your mointer is about to go.

Hmm..probably not the thing you wanted to hear now that you and DH are on a "student" income.

How old is you moniter? Do you keep it on all the time? DH and I used to do that with our old one. We actually left our computer on (in sleep mode) all the time. And we also left the moniter on. It was less than 5 years old and then...POOF!! It died. Hope yours is just a callibration thing. Good luck!!
