I have an old monitor from 1991... It even has a NEC/VGA detachable cord...
All I had to do was run in VGA or SVGA (the generic windows video drivers)
and pick a monitor type that gave me the best "supported" settings.
The bands went away. I was lucky enough the track down the "supported"
specs (but not drivers) from the FCC ID number.
My various video adapter cards also have lots of software settings (if I choose
to use the drivers for it).
If you put some time into it, and are lucky, it may "work out"...
Good luck,  Rick Glazier

is to either have the monitor fixed or replace it if the repair will be expensive.
