    I use a hp dv4t with a tv tuner to watch tv with a 22" lcd monitor. However, I have notice that whenever I have the lcd monitor connected, there will always be white lines on the screen when watching tv. These horizontal white lines go away as soon as I disconnect the lcd monitor. Any ideas why it does this?

    What tuner are you using? The white lines are on the laptop screen? And they only appear when using the tuner?
