    Strange problem with external monitor,

    May be someone can help me with this one. When I'm connected to external monitor with "regular vga" cable. The monitor has some strange flickering. Like on old CRT monitors with 60Hz.

    It's not that bad, but really annoying. Any comments on it?

    Thanks

    why do u connect it with "regular vga" cable? hdmi/displayport/dvi should give perfect digital quality.

    VGA cable is poorly shielded. Try another cable or change connection type, as suggested above.

    I just didn't have hdmi laying around.

    so I've tried VGA I think it's not the best solution, so tomorrow I will try HDMI.

    Thanks for answers, subject is closed :)
