Need some advice please...
Just received a 24" OCUK monitor today. Desktop and web browsing seems ok but with hd videos there appears to be a lot of constant picture noise (obvious flickering grain). I'm using an old X800GTO card, connected via DVI and running desktop at 1920X1200. Same issues connecting with VGA.
To watch the hd videos, i'm using k-lite codecs, ffdshow and media player classic. I have tried VLC player but that grinds to a halt for some reason but the grain is also apparent. The videos are 1080p from:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/musicandvideo/hdvideo/contentshowcase.aspx
I've also installed the latest Ati drivers for the card and CCC. Other components are Opteron [email protected], raptor hd, 2Gb corsair RAM, DFI RDX200-CF-DR board.
Is the graphics card the likely culprit or is my new monitor the problem? Are there any tests i can do which might narrow the problem down?
Thanks
