Gateway monitor problem. Model: FPD1960TFTLCD. Runs on a PC, not a lap-top. Starts up with black and white ribbons across screen. I have to push "off/on" button 10 to 20 times for lines to stop and display correctly. Is there a cheap fix or should I just buy another monitor? It is about four years old and I only paid $100 for it new. Appreciate any help. Thanks - John.
