    My monitor is taking forever (15 minutes or so) to turn on, and I'm not sure why. Is it old? Is there some other issue? It does eventually turn on, then it works fine, but I'm wondering what the issue is.

    Lol, yes I have. Didn't seem to help me. What I'm noticing is that the longer it's off, the longer it takes to turn on again.

    Maybe somethings broken inside of it.
    My guess would be PSU.

    Thats probably a bad psu. i had a monitor that did that, i opened it and took out the power supply and their were some bad capacitors. I replaced em and it worked fine. Another thing i have noticed, at least in two of my monitors get a slight blue tint to the screen when they go bad. I dont know if it does that with every monitor though.
