Re: Video problem?
That is a driver issue, NOT a monitor issue. Looks like it reverted to low res 8 bit color. Reinstalling the drivers (or new drivers) should correct the problem.

Conyers, GA | Check the motherboard for any capacitors going bad too.. Since you say late model it may not have gone through that period when a lot of Dells had bad caps, but it doesn't hurt to check. |

| I think that Dogg has it right...looks like a driver issue. I would first delete the current driver, before re-installing.
Did you try a different cable? This too can be causative of that type of intermittent problem.
If it by any chance is not a driver issue, and it is still under warranty?...I would absolutely get Dell to fix it! From what I see/hear, Dell's support is not all that bad...as with any other manufacturer, part of it is "luck of the draw" they have some knowledgeable/helpful support staff...and a few not so hot ones. Generally, if you stick to your guns, they will make it right.
