    Hello everyone,

    I bought a new dv9335nr from best buy a few weeks ago.(includes nvidia 7600) The first day I purchased it I noticed, about 1 hour or so after using it, red and blue dot like flickers popped up on the screen. They are pretty small but still annoying and noticeable, they flicker and appear all over the screen, or sometimes only in some parts. I updated the drivers and they seemed to dissappear but again came back. I tried changing monitor flicker aswell but windows wont allow me to. They last for a while then dissapear then come back the next or following day. I changed the resolution to 16 bit and they didnt show up again. But everytime I change to 32 bit they reappear. I tried to take screen shots but the dots never show up. I reformatted my drive because of bloatware, that made no difference to the flickers and after trying new drivers from january to the most recent( I think May) It still makes no difference. Im not sure if this has something to do with the drivers or maybe just the card it self. Unfortunatley my warranty with best buy is up(14 days) so I cant take it back, and I have searched numerous forums including this one and no one seems to have this problem. If anyone might have any knowledgeable information as to what causing this, or what setting I must tap into please respond.

    Thanks For Your Help In Advanced

    I think this is a HP monitor issue. My 22" LCD has this problem while running at its native 1680x1050 resolution. In games the dots are horrible. I can't stand them. I've yet to find a solution for this. I'm still looking.
