[PLUG] Is my monitor dying?

[John Jason Jordan]

This morning it has been flashing for the past 45 minutes. It is
getting worse and worse, which makes it pretty likely that it is
a hardware problem.

I have also connected my laptop to it and it still flashes. The laptop
has an nVidia NVS Quadro 140M and uses the nouveau driver. The GUI
showed that the Quadro detected the Samsung monitor and got its EDID
correctly. I set it to mirror the laptop, but the monitor is still
flashing.

The next step is to find a different monitor to try out.
