    Really Weird Monitor Problem, listen to this!

    My monitor is playing up in a really peculiar way. I can't figure it out.

    Ths sides of the screen just... go weird. Every now and again, with not regular reason, they just **** up. They become indefined and look like a sin wave. Towards the bottom, on the left and right hand side, the straight lines become wavy and flicker slightly.

    I've never had it when just on my desktop, that's usually very defined, however, arbitarily, it'll do it when I'm on IE, or on FireFox. Then it'll stop. I'll scroll to the bottom of the page, and it'll start again. I'll scroll up and it'll stop. I'll click a link, and while the page is loading it will be fine, then once it's loaded it'll flicker, then 8 second later it'll stop, and then start again when I Click a new link.

    Then, all of a sudden, it goes. Weeks go by, then bam, it's back. Currently I'm getting effected quite badly. Before I could get rid of it by stretching the screen horizontally, then squeezing it, but now, not even that stop it.

    I just have to put up with it.

    All the leads are in pretty tightly, and I've got the newest drivers for my GFX card.

    It's just the fact that it's arbitary that annoys me, it appears to not be one thing at fault. I think my monitor may just ben naffed, but I've only had it 18 months, and I don't want to buy a new one already!!

    sounds like interference.

    do you have another monitor, or a mobile phone near by?

      Have you got speakers at either side of your monitor? I know my screen is buggered because of that. Probably not good that I have Hi-Fi speakers too

        Umm, I've got 5.1 sound, but the speakers are only 50W... There is a 250W sub woofer below the monitor about 50cm slightly to the left.

        I've got one on top and two directly either side, then two others more behind me...

        I've got the monitor of my old PC hooked up to my PC about 1.5 metres away, but that is always off... rearely used. I've got an old land line phone next to the PC, but that isn't even connected to the phone line, it's just incase of emergencies... like my other phone is engaged :P There is a web cam above my monitor and a load of plugs and **** about a metre under the monitor under the desk on the floor My iPod charger is about 25cm from the monitor and my printer about 40cm from the monitor...

        I've had this set up for quite a while... and I don't generally have any magnets or moblies lying around. Here are some pics, sorry about the mess :
