This book could easily have been called 'How to swap out modules in a computer monitor'. It is aimed at too low a level to be of any use to anyone seriously interested in troubleshooting a faulty monitor on their own. Whenever any serious 'troubleshooting' is required, the author simply says ' substitute a know working module' . Yeah!!, like we all have lots of them lying around. If you've got a faulty monitor and you dont know where to start looking for the problem you'd be better off putting the cost of this book towards getting it repaired professionally. Just my opinion for what its worth.

The book is shallow, lacks comprehensive cover of monitors other than the one used as an example (an old Tandy). The quality of printing is particularly poor with the circuit diagrams almost impossible to read. It left me frustrated that it promised so much (Troubleshooting & Repairing etc.) but delivered so little.
Look elsewhere guys.

This book easily summarizes information which can take years to obtain from other sources. It is very well written with an excellent structure for quick reference. The book covers essential safety tips, basic video theory, CRT monitors, and flat panel displays. The illustrations and tables are appropriate and easy to understand. A troubleshooting section is also included for later reference. This book is well suited for both individuals and the classroom

Good book on learning how a monitor works. The bad thing is that monitors with picture tubes are out of production now so if you want to get this book plan on learning about old technology. There is one chaper in this book that does have info on how flat panel monitors work

The book does have a lot of tips on things to look for relative to the problems you might be having with your monitor. If you like video technology this is a good book on how your monitor works.
