What I decided to do was upgrade to 12.04 LTS following Steve's advice. I thought for a while that it had gone horribly wrong (screen went awol) but lots of switching off and on again have calmed and sorted it. Hoping it stays that way...
Hope it goes OK :-)
Suspect if I upgrade in 5 years (or less?) I will definitely need a new monitor. (New new not just new to me.)
I would think people are practically giving away traditional-style monitors as everyone wants flat screen, that said, I love flat screen! You might find someone giving one away on Freegle, or Freecycle.
Good luck! :-) Steve
My current one, a fine (imo) LCD monitor, was £20. (Hansol 700Fs - we have a great second hand computer here!) Thing is, I worry that 5 years down the line, the latest Ubuntu won't recognise it.
