Did you try making a new user account and on that one, make it an admin?
Also, all this and not a word about the PC make, model, etc.
Hi everybody
I've bought an LG Monitor (24" LED) recently.
Since the first day of using it, I noticed horizontal flickering lines on the screen when a video is playing
No matter if the video is playing in full screen mode or not, is playing online on a browser or by a software (VLC), one or more horizontal flickering lines appear on the screen (mostly on the upper half of the screen).
I used a different cable, changed the settings of my video card (from raising buffering to using vertical sync), but the problem persists
I was so disappointed about this LG Monitor that I wanted to take it back to the store, but just for another reason I switched the user on my Windows 7 OS and logged in as Administrator, and guess what!! No more horizontal flickering lines!
I tried it several times... the problem shows up only when logged in as my regular user ID, and disappears when logged in as Admin.
Does anybody here have an explanation about this and any opinion about what the reason of the issue can be?
Any help would be appreciated
Looking forward to seeing replies from you friends...
