I have 3 small vertical red blue green lines on my screen in the center. does this mean its going bad. or can these be adjusted out

Welcome to pchelpforum topcat43.

What buttons do you have on your screen?

When you push one of the buttons you should get a menu display, browse through it and look for `degauss`, this should help resolve the problem.

Otherwise try wiggle the cable where it connects to your video card and see whether it disappears.

Otherwise it could be going bad...

Can you post a screenshot please?

A screenshot might not work if it is a monitor problem, but saying that it would confirm whether it is a video card or screen problem.

Could you tell us at what frequence (Hz) your monitor is running?

I'm sorry, misread that it was about an LCD screen!

I'm afraid this sounds like a duff screen, try the screen on another pc. If the lines are still there it might mean a replacement ( check with your supplier about warranty as they might replace it). If not then get your vga card checked out.
