I really can't say for sure what Flash/Glare/Whatever is when you
power-down.  I know some monitors give a really funky light show when you
turn them off due to high-voltage discharge, but most just kill the
deflection and you have an instant black screen.

Has the monitor done this from day one, or did you buy it used?  I know the
rainbow is definitely from degaussing (I have an Optiquest Q71 which is
made by Viewsonic), but I can't explain the other symptoms.  When mine
shuts off or I shut it off, it just goes black.  Same with a few other
monitors I was able to come across!  People were wondering why I was
turning the monitors on and off!  :-)

Heck, look at it like this, if the monitor still works fine and doesn't
make any odd noises like popping or squealing, just use it until it dies or
starts producing a funky/distorted image like the sides bowing in or a
single horizonal line (loss of verticle deflection).

Sorry I can't be of more help.  I'm much better at repairing VCRs and still
new at TVs/Monitors!

| Hi Steve,
|

| "STRONG" glare (just black and white), it's like lightning, thunder
strike.

Nokia,
| NEC) at work, they all just go from dim to bright, no glare what so ever.
| Why's that the case?
| 
| Thanks in advance.
