dlewis23 Posted September 27, 2006 CID Share Posted September 27, 2006 what refresh rate do you have your monitor on? and have you tried to do a reset of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted September 27, 2006 CID Share Posted September 27, 2006 Any AC devices by it? (Fan, etc...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted September 27, 2006 Author CID Share Posted September 27, 2006 i solved the most of it. It still shakes every once in a while as it always did. The problem was because i changed my refresh rate earlier. Also i do have an Ac next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted October 2, 2006 CID Share Posted October 2, 2006 Any unshielded electrical device should not be put near a monitor of any sort.. the electric field that these devices create disturb the display and can cause display problem like you are describing.

tommie gorman Posted October 2, 2006 CID Share Posted October 2, 2006 Wait a minute, does this include comp speakers?? Just thought of that.I have mine sitting directly beside my monitor on either side. And I get a little of the shakes also. Thought maybe it was having DT's once in a while. But seriously they are beside mine. Oh and what about the ones that are installed on the sides by the manufacturers? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philp Posted October 2, 2006 CID Share Posted October 2, 2006 Oh and what about the ones that are installed on the sides by the manufacturers? Just curious. I'm pretty sure those are shielded just for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karthic Posted October 3, 2006 CID Share Posted October 3, 2006 i too got the same problem when my new monitor came just check for the power supply to the crt!!!! or as told by swimmer just dont place any unshielded electronic devices beside monitor(i used to have my screen shaking coz of me placing a mobile phone beside my monitor) and the moment i take it from there the screen becomes normal. nowadays highend mobile phones pose no problems like these but those old lower end mobile phones usually cause these problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daman4469 Posted October 4, 2006 CID Share Posted October 4, 2006 make sure your refresh rate is set at 75 hertz...i believe thats what the electricity in a standard household runs at, so they should match. and also, everything else everyone has said above is awesome advice too. -rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted October 4, 2006 CID Share Posted October 4, 2006 Line power runs at 60Hz in the US... there's really no reason to set your monitor refresh rate at 60Hz unless it can't support anything higher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmasta Posted October 4, 2006 CID Share Posted October 4, 2006 if he sets it to 75Hz thats when the problem happens. i think he just has a bad power supply in the monitor. He should make sure that "hide modes this monitor can't display" is checked. Incompatible modes can can cause problems like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 5, 2006 CID Share Posted October 5, 2006 He should make sure that "hide modes this monitor can't display" is checked. Incompatible modes can can cause problems like that. on modern monitors it just wont display anything if you set it to a mode it cant handel. so checking that doesnt matter.
