This is more of a technical question hoping someone can help answer, I don't have a driver for this monitor (says it doesn't need one) was just plug and play in a sense,,, I am running windows 2000 pro, with a ati all in wonder 8500DV video card.
My issue (not even a problem more of a question) is when I start my pc up and turn on the monitor for a split second it says something to the effect of invalid refresh rate (cant remember exact term) and occasionally some desktop items appear to "flicker" for a moment.
I don't want to damage the monitor, so should I find an actual Hitachi driver for it and would that possibly help the flicker or would it "set" a default refresh rate (I have never messed with refresh rates).
When I go into Display Properties, Settings, Advanced I can see the refresh rate is set at 75 Hertz at 800x600 (I like my 800x600 size so don't hassle me hehe) and that there are no drivers installed or needed (says no conflicts and that it is working fine).
Just lookin for some tech advice and or input, lastly I sorta see some very faint lines across my screen, I hit degauss yet they don't go away, its almost as if they are lines running around in a oval pattern going offscreen on each side, yet in the center they BOW up or down moreso.
I know this sounds like I am ragging on this Monitor, I am not, the faint lines aren't an issue really, just curious if i can correct or eliminate them, and also curious about drivers or that message I am getting (probably just a user error on my part)....
Any suggestions appreciated, I really like having this big monitor over my old 15 incher, just wanna make sure I do what is right for it and make it last.
