I know this is really for arcade, but I wanted to know what happened to my old monitor. I was on it once and the screen started shrinking in and it got kinda greenish and dimmer and finally went black and made a loud ZAP. The monitor has since been disposed of (it was a crappy one anyway, had a long wavy line across the screen.) I just wondered what happened.
 
without knowing the model number ect its really hard to tell. My best guess would be the flyback on it went out. The ZAP is what leads me to this.
 
Not sure if it helps but it was a samsung syncmaster 15 GLe
 
With the price of computer monitors being as low as they are, I don't think anybody cares. More likely than not, the fly crapped out on you.

Yeah, especially the old CRT ones. You can pretty much pick em up off the streets. I still have like 4 other monitors anyway. Wouldn't be anywhere near worth it to fix it.
