Technical Mystery.

Postby Magyk on Sat Sep 12, 2009 4:21 pm

Not so much a problem, as it is a mystery.

Every time my cellphone is about to vibrate, about 2-5 seconds before, the picture on my monitor gets blurry and shakes around like crazy. What would cause this? It's been doing it for about a half a year or so. It was doing it with my other phone an LG Rumor, and now it's doing it with a spare phone which is a Motorola Razr Original.

Is it a crt monitor?

If so, it's probably because the incoming signal disrupts the electron flow through the cathode ray tube of the monitor.

If it's an LCD screen, then it's probably something similar (pertaining to the incoming signal), but I don't know as much about how LCD monitors work.

My monitor is in fact a CRT monitor. (Because I love fat monitors, get over it.)
It's just weird how stuff like that works though, but in a cool way. I'm glad I finally found out what was causing it though =P

It's particularly with LG phones that issue. It's no big deal unless someone leaked your number on the internet pretending you're Beyonce and you get 2.4 million texts a day.
