Flickering Monitor

[cpuntillo]

Hi, I have a 21 inch Dell monitor - D1626HT and it flickers every so often. I'm using it with Rage Fury Pro/Xpert 2000 Pro. Has anyone encountered this problem and is there a way I can fix it? I had the screen refresh rate set at 56 Hertz and I switched to 60 Hertz. This would help for a while before the flickering would start again so I jumped back to 56 Hertz and I've been going back and forth doing this but this is just short term. What i'm really looking for is a permanent fix.

Thanks for your help everyone. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi cpuntillo, I have A hp monitor and had similar problem, don't know if it will work for your dell, but what I did was to go to hp site and downloaded an update for the monitor and it gave me the capability to go higher on the hrz I selected 85 via the display options,advance, monitor and it took care of my flickering .

casimiro is right. That Dell D1626HT is a CRT and you should increase the "Refresh Rate" to highest your monitor will permit. Setting it to 75Hrz or 85Hrz will take care of the flickering. (Display Properties > Settings > Advanced > Monitor ... and Apply).

..you should increase the "Refresh Rate" to highest your monitor will permit. Setting it to 75Hrz or 85Hrz will take care of the flickering..

It might also take care of the monitor 'good & proper' :eek2:

Make sure first that whatever setting you choose, is permissable for your monitor, windoze may offer refresh settings far beyond the monitors capabilities & this may result in damage to your equipment..
