I have not tested the monitor yet. Last night it flashed on and off for 15 minutes getting gradually better as i put the computer to work. It is acting the way electronics used to act when they were warming up.
By the way, I am purchasing a laptop soon. I assume the above programs are your reccommendations for setting it up for safe use.
