Recently while Using my Computer my 21 Inch CRT Monitor which ive hade for almost 5 Years now the display has started to mess up. It would appear normal as it usually did but all of a sudden it resolution would suddenly stetch out in both directions and the middle of the screen would bend inwards Sort of looking Like this

While in a video game it would also get very bright...

Also changeing the resolution on the monitor would not affect the way the screen was bent

And any attemp to ajust the monitors width in the "stretch" option would not affect it to make it less wider or taller. "Pincushion" and "Trapazoid" would also have no affect.

All other options such as brightness and screen position did still function.

Im guesing my monitors dead

Although I dont know if it Could be anyother thing that could be making this do that (Video card, motherboard). I dont want to go out and get a new one and have the same problem. What do you think?
