Flickering issue with Monitor

masscrazy · 20 Jan 2013 at 23:00

For the past few months I've been using my TV and onboard HDMI as my main display.

I reconnected my U2711 a few days ago and I've been getting flickering issues.

So I tried connected my laptop to the monitor using the same cable as I do with my 7970 and the laptop was fine. No flickering its perfect.

I've not done any GFX intensive stuff for months, not gamed in 8 months almost, so not sure why this is happening. Heaven 11 doesnt show up any artefacts and Kombustor runs fine temps go to 69C and fan speed is at 60%.

actually my monitor does that sometimes aswel, but not as bad as that though and my monitor is new..anyone have any ideas?just checked the cable and its in both the monitor and gfx card tight and screwed on

could be caused by loose monitor cable or mobile phone being too close or electrical things being too close

Bumping this thread because my brand new monitor an Asus pa24q is doing this a lot and its driving me mad it even completely blacks out my screen for a second or two. What can be causing this I have tried 3 different cables and its still doing it.
Do I need to RMA the screen?

If you can, yes. Can you try another gfx card or different port?
