    Hi all!

    I have this 5620Z for almost three years now, and it has been working great especially when I got rid of Windows Vista and started running Windows 7. Recently I got myself a LG monitor (model E2240V) to use with the Extensa, and it works kinda ok. The problem? The problem is that many wavy interference lines can be seen running from top to bottom across the screen with a slight inclination. Their almost invisible, but are a bit annoying especially when the background has a flat "solid" color. I already tested the monitor with several VGA cables but the effect continues. If I connect the monitor to the laptop I use at work (a rather cheap HP) this strange effect disapears and the image is nice and steady, as it should. Tried other lower resolutions also, but the effect is persistent. This Acer laptop uses a Mobile Intel graphics chip. I have the latest Acer drivers installed.
    Am I stuck with it?

    Best regards,
    Nelson
