    Are the monitors from the same manufacturer, LCD monitors go up all the time as does anything else, however the chances that you get 2 suggest there is a common denominator.
    1. the monitors are from the same manufacturer and have a defect.
    2. your computer has a problem and causing your monitors to fail.

    I've never opened the case on a monitor (way above my pay grade) so I can't give you a suggestion on what to do with them.

    I'd hold on here and see if someone has a suggestion on a way to check your video card or mother board for a defect (again above my pay grade).

    Lastly I'd use a cheaper monitor (crt) until you can narrow the problem, I'd hate for you to loose a 3rd LCD

    fixya seem to have some answers if it's a common problem with your model. I'd try the manufacturer first, and check the cables.

    before I proceed I would like to Thank all who offer help.
    The monitors are a different make.
    I have a Mozo 15" TFT156ps which I purchased from Tiny computers at the Computer store before they went bust. one year later the monitor stopped working.
    I have a LG Flatron L17155 and after a year stopped working. I have tried the moniotrs on four different computers. sometimes they come on but most of the time they don,t. they are outside the warrentry. so I cannot get help from the
    manufacturer. there is nothing wrong with any of my computers because they are all running LCD monitors.
