    Hey all
    Got this little issue:
    I got a 5920G, and for a monitor i use a Acer P223W.

    My "problem" is that my screen "flickers" ..it's kinda shakin' in the middle colors.

    My first thought was that it was the screen resolution, or the screen Hz. Now, i'm using a 1680 x 1050 (highest possible) and my grafic-card is a Nvidia 8600M GT, and it gives me only 60 hz (or 59) on this solution. I've tried everything, but i can seem to get it right....the flickering is there, evt is i chg my resolution...

    Anyone got any idea what i can do? It's kinda anoing cuz i work alot in Photoshop (I'm a hobby-photografer), and i really need the problem solved :(

    Anyone got the same problem?

    Hi, I think its the same as my problem when I try using the HDMI from the laptop to my Sony projection TV. Picture is there but randomly the screen flickers as if the resolution aint right, screen goes dark as if its trying to reset and then its ok til the next time. You are probably not using a HDMI cable but it sounds the same sort of problem, very annoying when I'm playing Toca Race driver 3 and the screen goes blank (flickers) then you have hit the wall lol.
    Is this a similar problem?

    Well the problem is screen refreshing rate. You have to use 60 Hz. For some reason defaults is only 20 Hz. You can do this in nvidia control panel (right click on desktop and select nvidia control panel from menu)
