    Hello,

    I received my M1330 last week and played around with it for 2 days before going through the re-install as described in the Flamenko guide. I now have a video issue that I can't seem to fix and I'm not sure if it was there initially or not. I'm using the latest drivers on the Dell website

    When I play a movie and there are a lot of high speed camera movements I sometimes get a horizontal line that splits the image. I can happen anywhere and sometime the horizontal line moves downwards for 1-2 sec or it flashes. It looks as if there is a slight delay in displaying the image.

    I ruled out a prob with the screen as it appears also on my HD TV.

    I spotted the prob with Divx, xvid and even h.264 encoded videos. I've tried using VLC, FFDshow, Divx codec, clean re-install and the prob is still there. Sometimes, for the same video, the prob is stronger, to the point that it becomes unwatchable, and sometimes it's barely noticeable.

    Any help would be appreciated as I didn't find info using the search function.

    Thanks
