My Samsung SyncMaster 216BW monitor is flickering, and I'm not quite sure what the problem is, so could use some advice.
The flickering, which is faint but noticeable, is on the horizontal all the way across the screen, and all the way up/down. I've looked to update the monitor driver, but the Samsung site doesn't show any updated drivers for the 216BW. I've also taken a look at the Nvidia config settings, but I'm not seeing anything that looks like a likely adjustment. Any ideas?

Could be a soldered contact is busted or on its way to doom. You'll need to get it to a repair shop.
If you have warranty on it then you don't pay nothing. Just find the local Samsung repair shop for Monitors in your area. Contact them for the details. This happened to my NEC FE991SB years ago. Goodluck dude. ![]() |

Yes it will in 99% of cases be the EHT, could be as simple as moisture in the air, adding to dust creates mud

One other thing you could check real easy is to make sure you don't have any large speaker close to the monitor, and run the degaus to demagnetize the tube.

Sometimes CRT monitors are reset to weird refresh rates by screen properties. Check that you refresh rate is 60 or 75 (depends on the monitor) and not something like 85 or 62
