Shimmering Sony Trinitron

[mdhome]

Just an odd one. I just recently bought a 2nd hand Sony Multiscan 17sf ii at a computer fair and was running it off one of my G400's. The quality was good but I noticed that there was some slight ghosting of images and other bizare stuff going on on screen. However when I connected the monitor to a pc running a Banshee card the problems dissappeared. I know the 17sf 2 isnt state of the art but has anyone else similar problems .

Two thoughts:
1) Refresh rate?
2) Are the two computers in the same phyical place? You may have just had the monitor in a bad spot for EM. We have some of those monitors in our lab, and they're not as environmentally tolerant as other Sony's.

Hello Wombat
Thanks for the reply

Just found that after a certain while the Banshee does the same thing. I think it occurs earlier on the G400 because it can push the monitor harder.

Methinks the monitor has to go back.
