Hi,
I have a medion md30159 and it has some problems displaying stuff properly:comp:, here are some images to show what I am talking about:
Working display:

Non-working:

Better example:

Good:

Bad:

And finally a video that shows the moving stuffs:

As you can see it has trouble displaying certain colors and every other vertical row is not displayed or something, can I fix this?
 
First off:
1) Did you test them in both computers / the same one
2) Have you tried other cables / ports
3) Have you recently gotten these / are they returnable or RMAable
 
1) Yes, they were in the same PC, same graphics card. I know both ports work, I have tried other monitors in either.
2) I tried different cables (DVi/VGA) both give the same result, even when there are no cables plugged in except power the "No input" message looks off.
3) They are not RMAable, otherwise I would have done so. I got it from a friend, he was going to throw it out otherwise.

They kinda look like a "stuck" pixels.. Maybe try this site. Although I have never tried this myself.

Or this video.

The post also says something about it being capacitors, don't quote me but I believe more would / would not happen if you had blown capacitors. Maybe look to see if you have any bulging ones?

EDIT:
Actually looking at picture 2 originally, they look dead. Nothing may fix those, unless the capacitor thing could do it.. I am not an expert, just giving a little help..
 
All the pixels work, and I didn't see any swollen/blown caps when I opened it up earlier. I think it has something to do with the signal, it can't display the color. I had another display that did this and it had a broken ribboncable on the inside, this one however doesn't.
