Re: Monitor flickering
try it on another PC, if you can.

Re: Monitor flickering
Sounds dodgy, but you've might aswell rule out the input, its graphics card. Try fiddling with the refresh rate, you never know, same goes with the cable.

Re: Monitor flickering
You could take a look at the viewsonic VP171s-2 TFT monitor, plus others at:
www.dabs.co.uk CRT monitors getting on a bit now, not many people selling them. |
Re: Monitor flickering
hey, ive just put the refresh rate on 70hz and its not flickering but its a bit bad on the eyes.
5mins later-back on 60hz and not flickering:erm: |
Re: Monitor flickering
Also make sure that the cable is fully plugged in, both ends.

Re: Monitor flickering
The higher the refresh rate, the better
I believe 75hz is the minimum level for an office environment? I would just buy a new one, not worth risking eye strain |

Different people see flicker at differing refresh rates: some people where I work have refresh rates of 60Hz set: they don't see any flicker. I see serious flickering and can't look at their displays for any length of time without getting a headache. One person is using a refresh rate of 60Hz deliberately in getting a higher resolution and is quite happy with it. Yes; I'd really consider 75Hz a working minimum. But it varies from monitor to monitor - how come you (or most people) can look at a TV refreshing at 25Hz and not see flicker - or a light bulb (well not directly) at 50Hz? Because each refresh takes longer to fade, so it blends into the next iteration and you don't see flicker. Each monitor refresh fades a lot faster (it's meant to) so you'll still notice flicker at higher refresh rates. |

As for the OP's orriginal problem, have you got desktop speakers? place them too near to the monitor (the rear especially) and you will cause a flicker like that. have you left any magenetic screwdrivers ontop of the monitor? Is there any form of radio broadcasting equipment nearby? (Im talking more along the lines of a local radio station rather than digi-senders etc). |
