I was given a AOC 2436Swa due to a fault and it has ran out of warranty (apparently), he gave me the receipt, purchased from a popular electronics store, last February, the AOC website says that they have a year warranty, but I'm unsure if this is new.
The problem is that sometimes the screen flickers, the flicker is accompanied by colour distrortion, sometimes the white goes a bit green or pink, it appears to flicker in fairly straight lines across the screen, like if it is flickering at a certain high on the left, it will be flickering at that height all the way to the right, it's as if you could see the screen refreshing or has a loose connection, then sometimes..... it's totally fine, I've tried a few different resolutions, and no other refresh rates work.
It looks like it only takes a VGA cable, I've tried a few cables and they make no difference.
To explain the flicker a bit more, it's like when you change the brightness, I just changed the brightness to the highest and the problem appears less prominent, but I only did it a minute ago.
It's almost like certain parts of the screen are vibrating..
And of course sometimes it is so bad that the colour changes a bit.
Colour or brightness is probably related to the problem, posting this against the blue background doesn't cause any noticeable colour distortion or flickering, but minimising to the wallpaper brings it back.
Anyone know what the problem is, how it could be fixed and if it is actually out of warranty?
