Crazy horizontal lines flickering across screen?

[cinohpa]

So I just got my benq G2400wd and it's been pretty great, but something strange just happened.

I was on washingtonpost.com and I did a search for an article. No results came up and in the big blank space on my screen there was some serious flickering going on. It looked like little horizontal lines the width of the screen were just jumping around up and down.

Strangely though it only happened on that web page and when I minimized it to look at something else it was fine.

Can web pages really do something like that? I would link to the page, but I accidentally closed it and when I reopened it from history the background color was white and not blue and there was no more flicker. . . .Maybe it was just some crazy glitch. . . ?

It can happen on pretty much any monitor. It's known as pixel walk, and I've only found two screens out of probably ten that won't flicker on any of the tests on the following page.

Use the left right arrows to scroll through the different "inversion" levels and I'm sure 4A or 4B will flicker for you .

4a is the only one that does for me. Doesnt even do it that badly.

Yup.

It was the web site then. In terms of this flickering your G2400W is fine. It will usually be 4A or 4B.
