Is It time for a replacement?

[TheoT]

So 2 years ago I got a chance to get an AG Neovo K-A19 from an internet cafe that was about to shut down for a good deal.This monitor has lasted till 2 months ago where suddenly It just shut down and never turned on again.Recently I was trying to give It one more chance in reviving It but had no luck.I removed the adapter and plugged It in a different socket and suddenly the display turned black for about 0.5s and then died again.I turnt the switch on and off but the display didnt turn on this time,I decided to try It on another socket and the display acted the same as before.So I gave It one more try on a difference socket again,same result.
In conclusion,I guess It's time for a replacement since Its a quite old monitor and It had Its time.
My guess Is that the power supply doesnt give enough power to the monitor.

does the power light stay on or turns off too?

Well, right after seeing what screen you got, I would've expected it to fail. AG neovo doesn't make quality products. What is your budget for a new screen?
Dell, Samsung, ASUS make good quality screens.
Avoid LG...their tricky marketing, lies, bad quality check just doesn't go head to head with the competition anymore.

I seriously did not expect such fast replies but anyways.the power light turns off.
Also I was thinking about getting a dell monitor in the future.

If you have the budget, consider the UltraSharp line. I happen to own one and I know what my next monitor brand will be evey single time I look at it. (the U2515H, specifically).

it appears that it uses a regular power cord like what the desktop computers use not a power adapter which mean there is 2 boards in that monitor, video controller & power board. I think the power board has 1 or more domed capacitors on it that can be cheaply replaced as I've done that numbers of times & not just for monitors.

Life's Good for a company such as LG, that, among other tricks, is full of false marketing and advertising - making people believe they're getting a product that's actually not in the box:

They energetically advertised the "borderless" 1.2mm display monitor full of blah blah blahs....and when people got the screen and started posting images on google images and videos on youtube , the borders are MUCH thicker. Think about it: multi-monitor set-ups are becoming increasingly popular and this company tried to trick its customers into thinking their product would be the best for putting monitors next to each other....and...VOILÀ! The bezels were falsely advertised, even on the product box itself!
Even the official web page stated 1.2mm bezels. Guess what: when measured, they were much thicker. I mean, they went as far as involving false actual numbers to get people to buy their screens. For real, LG?!
I don't stand and don't support comapnies trying to trick me like that. May they rot in hell for it.


Another example, and I could keep going, but there's no need to:
