Monitor having random streaks on screen

Hey LTT forums,

 

I have a four year old HP monitor and just recently i've been noticing these black and or white horizontal streaks that flash pretty often now. at first i thought it was just my eyes because i use the computer for too long everyday but now im sure its the monitor... does this mean that my monitor is about to die?

Yes, your monitor is probably dying 

if its dying how long would you think it will last, also where can i find a good quality monitor that is on the cheap?

 

i would try the monitor on a friends computer. to check if the monitor is good or bad

will do ill try that out soon.

if that was the case where a random steak that i could eat appeared on my screen, that wouldn't just make my day, i'd make my life. LOL! i just like my steak :D
