since i got my tft 17" monitor, on certain pages and stuff, like depending on the colour, sometimes on a really bright page, on the left side of the screen, is like slight flickering, and i see black faint lines flashing up. does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
monitor flickering |:s Actually, i'd try lowering the refresh rate as TFT screens don't rely on refresh rates as much as CRT's do. Basically, flicker is a thing of the past with TFT's. I get the same problem with my TFT, but it's very minor.
monitor flickering |:s what causes this flicker then? my monitor only supports max of 1280 x 1024 @ 60hz which is pretty dissapointing
monitor flickering |:s 1280 x 1024 is the standard resolution for 17 and 19 inch TFT's. Flicker can be caused by many things which may include dirty power to the screen, minor power interruptions, video card issues and just general use basically. Seriously though, if it's not a serious flicker, i wouldn't worry about it.
monitor flickering |:s there is nothing magnetic around monitor, i moved all speakers onto floor, this flicker, if i ever get it on the desktop, its becomes a pain in the ass, its so annoying. i have noticed in some games, it lets me have the option to crank the res up to 1600 x 1200 i think, would my monitor actually work with that res?
monitor flickering |:s 1600x1200 resolutions in game menus are game dependent, meaning that not all games will allow you to select that high a resolution. It's extremely doubtful that your monitor will allow for that resolution.
monitor flickering |:s ah,will i proberbly only be able to go at 1280 x 1024 max? thats what it is on my desktop, max of 1280 x 1024
monitor flickering |:s Whats this about the power to the monitor? I have an Acer AL 1716 monitor and it all seems fine untill the screen is mainly black then I see a noticable flicker throughout the whole screen and in some games I actually see a refresh bar which makes no sense at all. Also if some one is using a vacuume or a hairdryer the screen goes completely nuts. Is there something I can do about it or is it just bad wiring in the house?
well resolution dictates refresh rate so try lowering the resolution and raising the refresh rate, not reallt even sure if that will help but is worth a try, 1152x864 and then if its possible change the refresh to 70 or 75
It dont matter, i now have an Acer AL1916W 19" widescreen monitor with 5ms response time!, res at 1440 x 900 pixels, it's preety damnd good, may do a review of it.
