Ok I have recently got some USB 2.0 VGA device. I've taken a known working monitor and plugged it in. This enabled me to have dual screens which helps with my work. My primary screen is fine, looks amazing crisp and what not. However my 2nd monitor is a bit weird.

The only way I can explain it is I can see it kind of refreshing and like some lines going up the screen. Monitor works fine stand alone.

Any clue? It's really hurting my eyes/giving me a headache :(
 
That sounds like classic a CRT low refresh rate (i.e. 60Hz) problem, but you're using TFT's right? What monitor models are they?

Yes mate, that is exactly how to put it. They are Dell 19 inch TFT's. Not sure on model they just look like generic type rubish ones. When it was plugged in stand alone this monitor worked fine. Very strange I just unplugged it all and it seems much better. I already tried that, either that or my eyes are so mashed it seems better :)

Thanks mate
