Is this a bad monitor or bad video card?

I noticed these blue lines across my screen against a black background.

I know about the normal lines that trinitron uses, but these are new and showed up recently not sure when to be sure.

I will post a screenshot i dont know if you can tell. There are about 10 lines going across with bluish tint to it I am suspecting it might be my monitor only becuase when I trun it on and off it makes some really funky sounds. It is also 5+ years old and is the Sony G420 (though it should still last longer)

If it is a bad monitor I guess now is the time to upgrade to an LCD.

What do you think?

I have the BFG 6800GT for a year now . Thanks
 
Thanks that what I figured.


Ok time to upgrade to an LCD.


Now just need to figure out which one to get I heard that new Viewsonic 19 inch is really nice and sweet.
 
WOOT I fixed the problem.

I found out that Sony monitors have an Image Restoration option in menu on monitor itself.

Wow...makes huge difference not only those lines went away...but full of rich color now.


I am very happy was not really ready to go to LCD
