VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

Update: Finally got around to taking the original monitor back to Fry's and got another one, same model. Same result, flickering on solid black/very dark colors. Either my local Fry's (Austin, TX) got a bad batch of these, or its a problem with the monitor and not one of the 200+ reviewers on...

VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

also, I tried the clock/phasing test at http://www.techmind.org/lcd/ and at first it "crawled" vertically so I thought maybe the phasing was off. But I adjusted the monitor so that it stopped doing that but still get the same effect on black/dark backgrounds. :(

VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

I've now noticed that it actually happens with any dark, solid color. I only notice it when I'm, say, moving the mouse -- only when there's motion somewhere on the screen. So basically I'm stuck with this because its a 6bit panel? I've used plenty of LCDs before and never noticed it (maybe...

VGA connection + large LCD = flickering?

I have a 15.4" 1680x1050 laptop, so I went out and bought a ViewSonic VG2230wm (same resolution) to use at home. The screen looks great (and huge!) and I am pleased, EXCEPT I have one wallpaper that has a sort of grey-to-charcoal gradient and I can definitely see the monitor...

LCD Buyer's Guide

hey guys I'm looking for a new 1680x1050 monitor but don't know anything about them and am having a hard time digesting all this information. I don't play many fast games (only stuff like SimCity 4 and Civ4). The main uses will be web browsing, papers, etc - maybe the occasional DVD. I want a...

dell voided my warranty for...what?

that sucks. I recently narrowed it down to a Dell and an Asus for my new laptop. I picked the Asus and I think I made the right decision.

Questions concerning the XPS and the future

Yonah - no. Merom - yes. All versions of Vista will come in 32- and 64-bit flavors. Your only viable option for 64-bit on a notebook right now is Turion.
